Lag Reducer?

[sneezedr424]

Hi all!

I'm on a horribly slow computer with a microscopic bit of RAM, and a tiny bit bigger peice of memory. Is there any way I can reduce lag on KSP? The terrain generation kills me. Thanks!

First, try reducing EVERY SINGLE graphics options to minimum. If it keeps lagging point your camera up (don't look at Kerbin). If that doesn't help play ksp without any background programs (such as internet) or try flying small rockets.

I hope that helped!

Also, IDK how helpful will that be, but I THINK there is an advanced guide on making KSP run smooth somewhere on this forum... And I did hear a rumour of some plugin/mod/external program that can help too. Try the search option and go a couple of pages down. It's there somewhere...

EDIT: One last thing: make sure You have graphic card drivers up-to-date!

This is the modified settings.cfg file I use to reduce terrain lag. It forces KSP to use an older terrain (or ocean) engine, if I recall correctly. It's also windowed at a small resolution and has "simulate in background" turned off so it doesn't stress your PC while it's minimized.

I'm using Tosh's Cart mod and have previously installed some variants on it prior to the latest release, so you may have to open up the file in Notepad or another text editor and delete the lines:

HEADLIGHT_TOGGLE
{
	primary = U
	secondary = None
}
