KSP Performance Changes/ Memory Limit Increased

[Table]

Can anyone tell me if the devs are going to increase the KSP memory limit, or something? Because I'm really sick of my game crashing and being frozen all the time.

Performance increases have been tabled for the near future.

1.1 will have 64 bit support and i'm pretty sure that will increase the memory.

It isn't/will not have been Squads memory limit to do anything about. It is entirely due to the version you're using being based on 32-bit Unity 4.x.

You can find the dev team's blog at http://kerbaldevteam.tumblr.com/

Check there for Tuesday posts that talk about what they're working on.

Note that the 64bits version of KSP runs fine on Linux.
If the memory limit is such an issue for you, you might want to consider switching OS

Its honestly worth while going the linux mint route..as a strict windows user in the past I had a broken pc with no legit windows.. I got ubuntu then moved to linux mint then elementryOS.. 

The reason was KSP..

Now windows10s infected my pc Im going to do it again this weekend..

Its worth it even if dual booting for KSP

 

Edit: KSP stopped crashing when I went to windows 10 64 bit as well

@Table as a good 'stopgap' solution before 1.1 comes, have a look at "Dynamic Texture Loader"

I run it with forced OpenGL mode, on a heavily part modded ksp and it saves me 200mb on start. The dynamic texture loading also works well when doing lots of building and test launches. Without it ksp process would hit 3gb within 1.5 hours, with it it gave me 3+ hours.

Hmm I'll take a look at that. Anyways thanks for letting know about that.

Win64* support and some performance enhacements have been confirmed for v1.1... All we have to do now is wait... :-)

 

*this means memory increase

Go Xubuntu way and all your KSP dreams will come to be.    Except of all that 100+ mods you have installed one will always not work properly and make you mess with mods and files more than play the game...
