Lots of 'Lock-Ups'?

[Carthaginian]

Does anyone else have a problem with 1.6 'locking up' on them?

It happens to me multiple times a game.

I have the KSP in the c:games folder, and run from the quick-launch in Win7.

I don't even have version 1.6 yet..

I get lag now and again when time zooming, but no freezing..

It happened to me to. What I did was open up Task Manager, right click on KSP and set the affinity on it to only use one processor. I don't know why it works, but I suspect it has to do with an imperfect utilization of multiple cores

This does happen to me a lot as well, but I'm on Linux and using Wine, so I can't help the devs with this kind of bug report, most of the time I can leave KSP running but other times it'll crash or freeze withing minutes.

I'm not sure this should be in General, but it's not a bug report or a request for help, also, KSP is alpha software and it should be expected to crash, it is very far from completion.

If you can reproduce this bug, please file a bug report with as much info as possible incuding your dxdiag, output_log, and crash reports, your persistence files might help as well.

You - it crashes quite a bit for me. Usually when running for quite a while. Alpha.

ROFFL - I reproduce it at least 4 times per game!

Reproducing it is precisely what I don't want to do!

Of course, if it will help, I'll turn in my information.

I'll give this a shot tonight when I play. I'm trying to make Minmus orbit after work- would be nice to be able to do it without reloading my game eleventy-dozen times.

How to reproduce:

a)Don't close the game often/ever

b)Go from VAB to flight scene many times

c)wait

d)install mechjeb (doubles the chance of a crash)

e)clutter your .sfs file

f)alt+tab away from the game and back in (might not cause immediate results, but if you keep doing this, chances are increased.)

In serious honesty, it is just a random occourance that can happen anywhere. At least for me, 95% of time I crash, I have mechjeb installed. It can crash while in the VAB dragging a part, while idling in the VAB, idling on the launch pad, during liftoff, during a gravity turn, idling in a sub-orbital arch, idling in a stable orbit, during a TMI burn... You get the idea.

Unless you've found a sure-fire way of causing a crash while not using any mods, threads like this don't really need to exist.

(most likely not in the discussion thread either)
