FPS drops when flights build up in career

[aluc24]

I was wondering why my FPS have been dropping as I've got deeper into career. Today, I found out. It's the number of flights in career - with 12 flights, I get 15 FPS in KSC, although no vessel is anywhere near KSC. With 0 active flights, the FPS are 40-60. Now I understand that KSP needs to track each flight (including debris, which is turned to 30 in the main menu settings), but how can I progress through career without getting deeper into lag? I play with RemoteTech, Kerbalism and some other mods which require me making satelite networks, and these alone build up the number of active flights. I have 12 flights going on now, and I haven't even landed on Mun yet.

 

How can I solve this problem? How do you guys solve it?

 

My laptop specs:

Lenovo Z500

Intel® Core™ i7-3612QM

NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 645M 2GB

Windows 10 64-bit

RAM: 8GB (I have lots of it to spare with KSP running, so this one is definitely not to blame)

Are any of these mods known to cause this trouble I'm having? If not, can anyone recommend any solution? As I said, I'm building satelite networks, and 12 flights isn't that much, and still, I'd like to play with 40 fps, instead of 15... 

Thanks in advance! Let me know if I missed some important bit of information

Anyone? I'm still having this problem. I've seen people boasting about running 60+ flights in career mode without any FPS issues, with hardware far worse than mine. I suspect that one of my mods (or a combination of them) add a lot of stress for CPU by making background simulations or something, but I can't say for sure. Maybe RemoteTech, Kerbalism or Distant Object Enhancement? Has anyone run into this issue?

The odds of someone being able to diagnose your issue when you have that many mods is slim to none, it could be any one of them or a combination of two or more of them.

I'd recommend using fewer mods as a solution. Otherwise your own only hope is to troubleshoot it the hard way by uninstalling/reinstalling them one at a time until the problem goes away. You may be able to find the culprit if you use the debug menu in the Alt-F12 cheats, and look for red lines. I know there are a couple of mods that focus on debugging other mods, as well as showing any exceptions they might be throwing but I can't remember the name of them.

Best of luck!

try the typical..

 

first: remove mods that dont have parts, so your vessels wont be touched and u have a better comparisson.

those would be like kopernicus, burntime, trajectories & co.

 

you want to find if this still happens without these mods.
