Game stuttering with micro freezes each 2-3 secs

[juvilado]

Hi, since im playing 1.1, the game has a constant stuttering with small microfreezings every 2-3 secs, no matter if in in EVA or flying or anywhere. It doesnt  avoid playing but makes it very annoying.

I have x64, 12GB RAM, AMD Phenom II x4 955 3.20GHz and AMD radeon HD 7800. 

It doesn't happen with 1.05 which i also have installed. 

Anybody having the same issue? Anybody knows how to solve it.

Also it crashes sometimes when recovering vessel...

All versions of KSP (since at least 0.23) have had a garbage collection related stutter though different people suffer from it in different amounts.  There are numerous things that affect it but, with a large save (high vessel and/or total part count) or when flying a large vessel, it will usually be fairly noticeable.  Just search the forum for stutter and you will see several quite long threads discussing the problem.  Unfortunately, there isn't any guaranteed way to reduce it other than keeping your saves as simple as possible and, even then, it can still be very noticeable for some people.  Making changes to your graphics settings can improve matters (basically, by making it more likely the GC pauses will fall in moments where the game is waiting to display the next rendered frame, but, once the memory usage gets above a certain level the pauses will usually last for several frames.

Squad are aware of the issue (and of some of the areas of the code that are particularly bad) and have plans for various changes that should improve the situation considerably.

I think it must be somewhat related to terrain textures, as I've just noticed it doesn't appear when the camera is not focusing any terrain...

Glad I found this thread, been searching since the same issue is driving me nuts. Freezes ever so briefly every few seconds exactly as you describe. And it usually happens during a critical staging (!) or landing (!!!).
But KSP 1.1.2 is a vast improvement overall, and I'm confident the code-folks will fix the issue.
