Constant, unending, stuttering!

[mesterbenji]

So I've been playing KSP for a while now, and maybe im looking at it with rosetinted goggles or something but has the game always stuttered (fps dropping from stead 80-120 to freeze for a split second) every 5 to 7 seconds or so, it seems pretty consistent and happens regardless of where in the game I'm loaded in?

 

I'm currently running what I atleast consider a "light" amount of mods, my game version is 1.4.1 and I invested in the expansion to boot.

Can't figure out what's happening or what's causing it but it's driving me absoloutely insane

Not sure how many mods you have or your system setup. But you could look into this thread to see if it helps, I haven't tried it in 1.4.1 to see if it works yet.

I was reading that unity garbage is also generated by your FPS. So you could try capping it in the system configuration in KSP. With mine uncapped, I can have FPS well into the hundreds but makes it pause every so often.  You could also be getting null reference errors and other mod conflicts which can cause issues, but no log provided so can't check. You can see them with Alt-F12 debug in game menu and output to log.

In my experience I found some parts from mods can cause this issue to occur more often, but it is hard to pin down since it depends on system config, mods, versions, ship builds and other issues. You can use the above mod to at least see the garbage collection occurring and play around with FPS cap, mods and other items too work on reducing the stutter. No guarantees on a solid fix that I know of though. If you put up a log, people may check it over for issues. 

The log location has changed, you can find it as shown below on windows.
