game players, Is 1.1.3 stable?

[Talavar]

  Just decided to ask the player base.. I took a LOONG hiatus after the 1.1 fiasco,  and had a basic melt-down on the forum, since I couldn't play the game after the new wheel system release, random crashes, etc..  Is all in working order again?

It's definitely less crashy than 1.1.2. "Only" crashed 5 times in 2 days with a heavily modded install. Compare that to a crash every 5-10 min on a stock install when in the VAB in 1.1.2.

Still a lot less stable than 1.0.4 for me: had almost no crashes on 1.0.4 (not counting memory crashes) with about the same modlist.

For me it is working just fine. I don't know about somebody elses opinion though.

[Jimbo Jangles]

Only had 1 crash since release, I play about 4 hours per day. I'm on Win 7 x64, with the following mods:

KER

KAC

LWP

Docking Port Alignment Indicator

Part Angle Display

Distant Object Enhancement

Final Frontier

Asteroid Day

RPM w/ Vessel View

[Ultimate Steve]

I haven't had many crashes at all. None that I can specifically remember. Waaaaaay better then 1.1 or 1.1.1 or 1.1.2.

[Wiseman]

Just one crash for me since starting, with 100+ mods installed. It's not only far less crashy, it also runs a bit better, too - my garbage collector is working a little less hard even under the huge mod-load.

[Mastikator]

Tried without any mods, crashed when going into the VAB within an hour of gameplay. I'll probably give it another try on 1.1.4

[Greenfire32]

it's a lot more stable now, but wheels are still bugged to hell.

[Docsprock]

No crashes, no mods, no worries. (Well, wheels, landing gear, and landing legs still need tweaking).

[autumnalequinox]

I've had one VAB crash when I jerked a large collection of parts around.  I pruned my mods down a bit, getting rid of buggy ones and sticking with those updated to 1.1.3 (excluding a few that weren't affected by the update).  Running about 50+ mods.  Everything seems a little smoother, the orbits aren't collapsing anymore (thank gods) which allows me to actually manuever without staying stuck in time warp.  So all in all a nice improvement.

I do have some weird bug where I can't click the "new" button in the VAB.  I have to just delete everything and be careful about overwriting.  For some reason the button only becomes usable when I drop a subassembly in.  Not sure what is causing this, could be a mod.  It's not a corrupted .craft file.

No crashes for me.  Sometimes I get the windows 10 busy circle when switching screens due to the number of parts on crafts.

Same here.

No crashes, just some extra wait (< 10 s) now and then.

 

[pandaman]

It's been stable for me. No crashes so far with my usual mods KER, EVE

[Mjarf]

I'm currently running a fresh install of 1.1.3 with only KER installed, on Win7 64bit, it runs very stable. Landing legs an wheels are still wonky though. VAB is A LOT more stable now, haven't had a single crash since the update to 1.1.3, in 1.1.2 I had regular VAB crashes. Seems like Squad has been very productive with the latest update.

[Rocket In My Pocket]

Works perfect for me.

Haven't really had many issues or crashes at all.

The only stand out bug I can think of is the command pod inside a fairing bug where your Kerbal gets stuck entering the door.

[jarmund]

I'd say it's mostly stable. I only have a few crashes now and then in the VAB, and i use a ton of mods, some of which haven't been updated since 1.0.5

[Alshain]

No.  It is not stable.

[Zoidos]

I had 2 crashes in about 16 hrs of gameplay. Both times because my PC went to sleep, so can't really blame the game for that.

Also I am using a ton of mods, some not even yet updated for 1.1.3. Though i must add, that apart from a few crashes in VAB I haven't really had problems in 1.1.2 and also never really understood what everyone got so worked up about. 

[Bill Phil]

Access violations abound. But only on scene changes and after a random number of them.

[kBob]

I've had one crash in many many hours of play  vs. three for 1.1.2, but that was after a lot more hours, I don't go through steam so can't be specific hour wise.  But I had a borked upgrade and after tracking down the problem I had to start a new career from the beginning (I don't count those problems since it was steam and/or my isp that caused that problem) so I haven't really strained it too much yet and I also reduced the number of mods though I'm slowly putting some back.

For me, all the 1.1.x  x64 versions have been a bit more stable (as in, fewer crashes) than previous versions.  1.1.3 is slightly less crashy than 1.1.2 I think.  So I think that's OK.  Now, if you were having frequent crashes before, you might still have them.  That seems to be an issue with the machines of the individual users.  While Squad has said they've been working on that, I have no idea if they've done any good because I didn't have the problem to start with.

As to wheels and legs, they're still pretty broken.  I really haven't noticed any improvement.  Touching either of them is still poison for Kerbals, legs still slide on even the slightest slope, and wheels still do funny things.

Orbital decay, however, seems to have been pretty much "fixed" in 1.1.3.  That is, stuff on rails stays where you leave it, although it still moves a bit when you take it off rails.  However, that's just in stock.  If you use Kopernicus planets, no promises.

The orbital decay thing really ruined 1.1.2 for me.  The wheels and legs are a bother but don't break the game.  I just don't use legs and am very careful with wheels.  So with orbital decay "fixed", I find 1.1.3 playable unless I want to do something with Kopernicus.

1.1.2 was almost perfectly stable for me, then 1.1.3 came...

[Vaporized Steel]

@storm_soldier2377

after the "..." please? Because if it crashes for you, it does'nt for me.

For me it runs perectly. I run it in both 32 and 64bit. Sometimes I run in 32 bit and forget my memory usage on my modded ksp folders and it crashes. But besides that, almost no crashes. I only had 2 crashes thus far and it was in the VAB, not even during gameplay in 1.1.3.

1.1.2 was very stable for me aswell, almost no crashes.

Obviously I meant 1.1.3 made my game crash a lot more. Granted, I did install a few more mods.

[Dfthu]

Only 1 crash in 1.1.3 but that was because I was doing some crazy things.
