1.1 with crappy performance

[SpaceK]

Hi,

 

after upgrading KSP ran pretty badly in the 64 bit version... the start menu already lagged for a few frames, and when I started a new game, the mouse was already lagging at the KSC. Also, I think the graphics became much worse despite maximum settings.

 

In flight, one ingame second lasted between 3 and 4 real life seconds, even with the small 10 to 20 part crafts you tend to build early on in career mode.

 

My RAM is only utilized to less than 70% while running KSP, with KSP only using 2.6 GB or so (I have 8 GB in total). The CPU is only utilized to about 10% (I have an i7-4700HQ processor, i.e. 2.4 to 3.4 GHz Quadcore).

 

I had a modded install before and first thing I tried was removing the not yet updated mods. This somehow destroyed the install - I couldn't load anything anymore, so I reinstalled KSP. Didn't help either.

 

Any Ideas?

 

Edit: 32 bit works without lag. I want 64 bit, though.

Another Edit: Setting all graphics settings to about half only helps a bit... that way, I'm up to 2 to 3 real life seconds for one ingame second. I'm pretty sure that my computer should handle better graphics, though.

If you should ever come into the same situation, make sure you have updated your graphics card driver within the last year or so. Because that's a preventable beginner's mistake.

 

Can be closed, I guess.
