TopHeavy11 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I have been having issues with "compatible" mod-related crashes. I know it won't speed up my game, but I need more mods. I've read a question similar to this, and no one gave any answers, so lets get some things out of the way. 1: I am playing the x64 bit version. 2: My computer runs on Windows 10. 3: I do have excess RAM. Now, with those out of the way, bring on the answers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corona688 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 It might help if you asked a question And said what mods you were using. And when it crashed. et cetera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopHeavy11 Posted September 27, 2016 Author Share Posted September 27, 2016 Question (if not clear:) How can I get more RAM from my computer. All I know is that I'm using the 1.2 pre-release, and I have the PartOverhaul "mod" installed. Beyond that, it's stock. When is crashes...is all over the place. It crashes when I use a parachute on an experiment box with no control, heck, it even happened when I pressed Esc to save my game! All I know is that the more RAM the better. This will also help my heavily modded 1.1.3 game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galileo Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 (edited) What are your specs though? Your problem is likely not ram related (if you have excess) but possibly CPU related Edited September 27, 2016 by Galileo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopHeavy11 Posted September 27, 2016 Author Share Posted September 27, 2016 You know what? Nope. I'm just gonna Google it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Run fewer programs. Turn off graphics-intensive themes. Run KSP in openGL mode if your card supports it well enough. Beyond that, having more RAM mostly amounts to...having more RAM. If you don't know if your crashes are RAM-related, they might not be. Edited September 27, 2016 by Corona688 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomercy4you Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Install mods one by one and check which are causing the crashes.Save games where you can reproduce the crashes. Write a bug report (to modder). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starman4308 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Okay, just to be sure: you are aware that RAM is a physical component of your computer, the part that holds all the information the computer is currently working with, correct? You can't get more RAM out of your computer; you can add RAM (up to a motherboard/OS-dependent limit), and you can do things like close unnecessary programs to free up RAM for KSP, but what your computer has is all it has. Also, "more RAM = more stable" is rather incorrect; you need enough RAM, and a bit more won't hurt (to reduce the frequency of garbage collection), but after a point, adding RAM will do precisely nothing for the performance or stability of your game. Your crashes are most likely due to bugs in the code and/or weirdnesses in your save file/mods, and performance issues are usually CPU-dependent for KSP.

TopHeavy11 Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 I am making this post to apologize for my behavior on this question, and to get the attention of a moderator so they can close this question, as it is no longer relevant. If I break a rule doing this, than I'm sorry, for I can't mention somebody without making a post. @Deddly It's up to you now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
