That's sad. But what's ironic is that the internet said i3-8145U is slower than my processor (which is i3-1005G1), but KSP runs faster in the other laptop (with the 8145U!) And I estimated the time that my KSP loads. Typically reaches 4-5 minutes, with mods. 2-3 minutes without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSP grow during development and from data strudture point it is a garbage of "let add this, and this too" - it is how games grow to its structure. I guess that now devs know what data strucutre and processing structure should include (leaving some empty entries just in case). More - They now know what is KSP engine and what could be left to be handled by UNITY (which should only be a display, type GUI because it is ment for diferent kind of game, and game such KSP does not have any engine on market, because there is no such need on the market - it is very advanced nerd kind). Propably (if they reason that way, and I guess there are devs that engineer products that way - files looks that way) they will do a suitable data strucutre and procesing structure to do everything better again from phy point of view. I guess it is expectation from most of player - do same thing again just technicly better. Better because now we know what it has to include (att the begining there were no idea how it would end up). And then add new features. Because this game is very good. Just it is made of chunks that were not ment on the begining. I guess this game gonna be lighter from point of view of phy handling which is now greatest issue. It always is if You code Your own game adding this and that by years. Untill You get to the point where You have everything You like and it is simply heavy in such a strcutre so You rewrite whole structure to a new, betufull one that include all these factors in readable chunk. There is only one issue that can screw such a aproach - marketing trying to hype features, MBA managment expectations (if 1 women give birth in 9m == 9women give birth in 1m), investors with they heavy "we want" - this is always a problem in tech - notech people involved. So if something goes wrong do not blame devs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incarnation of Chaos Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Honestly, desktop with mid-range performance aren't even that much more expensive than what you paid for that laptop more than likely. (300-500 USD is what I'm thinking, a mid-range machine can be had for a little over 600 USD if you use mostly new parts. GPU, CPU probs would need to be gotten used, but that just makes everything cheaper) And unlike it, they'll be able to be refitted as system requirements change over time. So if you're really worried, start saving for a build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave1904 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 In all honesty your laptop cannot even run KSP1 perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealKerbal3x Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 The developers of KSP2 can't keep bending over backwards to support old and/or underpowered hardware. This is a modern game, and it's going to use modern techniques. Upgrade or get left behind. Sure, I have an old laptop myself but I'm planning to get a new desktop by the time KSP2 comes out. If you're on a budget then it's still possible to get a decent PC, see the example posted above by @mcwaffles2003. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are you upgrading a laptop? Like seriously the CPU and GPU are what's limiting you the most, and moving to a desktop would allow you to upgrade those for the foreseeable future. The laptop is a dead end, and while the HDD/SSD could move to a new machine, your SO-DIMMs couldn't nor could much else. Just save your money dude.

Plus a couple more for repairing the battery I was mostly saying that money would've been better saved than spent on that machine. If you need something portable, look into Mini-ITX. Or just keep the laptop, there's nothing stopping you from having a self-built desktop and a laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
