[1.10.0] Final Frontier - kerbal individual merits 1.10.0-3485

[Zedwardson]

Did more testing, and now I have it working.   Thanks!

Has anyone compiled a version for 1.8?

[Krakatoa]

FWIW, I put it in my new 1.8.1 install, and so far, no problems.

[Gordon Dry]

@Krakatoa When I add it to KSP 1.8.1 then the initial RAM usage after reaching the main menu is about 2.8 GB higher than without it (in my modded install)... just saying.

I don't think that this means "it's okay for KSP 1.8.1"

[AlexSheFF]

Oh my goodness! My heavily modded game used ~13.5 GB of RAM in the main menu with Final Frontier and without it RAM usage decreased up to 9 GB! Unbelievable  

I can play the game now

It's just fine if you have 32GB of RAM in your system. ;-)

@panarchist it's all about principles. Creating loopholes of code because mankind "invented more RAM" never was a good idea.

Pretty sure in this case, it wasn't deliberate. Funny to see FF drawing that kind of RAM, though - never thought there was anything in that mod likely to do so. Then again, didn't Squad just change GC in 1.8.x?

EDIT: Ok, I fired up my Win64 instance on Windows 10, with 42 mods (including Kerbalism and Final Frontier) and I draw a bit over 6.6GB of RAM. Without FF, it's 3.8GB. That's consistent with the 2.8GB you mentioned. Ouch.

updated with results from my instance

This is rather sad to hear
I wonder what in this mod can be causing that kind of ram usage?!?

[Beetlecat]

All the ribbon graphics likely need to be reviewed. If they all "decompress" would that create such a large inflated amount of ram usage?

[Gordon Dry]

The ribbons are 120x32 .png - perhaps that is an issue.

If they were 128x32 .dds ... but I have no clue.

[Wyzard]

There are 584 .png files, all 120x32.  Even stored as uncompressed 32bpp (4 bytes per pixel), that's less than 9 megabytes total.  I doubt the ribbons are the problem.

It does seem to be GC related, as without, at the KSC memory usage is about 3.2GB at startup, then it drops to around 500MB. With it, it stays at 3.2GB then steadily climbs. I don't see any errors in the console even with the logging in FF set to Trace, and I did try compiling for 1.8.1.  Would definitely need a more skilled coder to take a look.

Hope dies last, so:
Fixing this bug also gives the community a clue why Unity does leak memory so much ... and how to avoid it from scratch.

Hi all,

Since I'd like to use this, I decided to do some tests in 1.8, and the results were quite interesting. I'm hoping to get some help here.

I compiled it for 1.8 (using @mwerle's fork), and dropped it into my dev system.  The interesting result was that there was no detectable memory usage.  3121 meg without, 3145 with, and that's within normal variations.  This was, of course, without any play time.

So, if one or more of you would send me a save file which demonstrates the memory issues, it would be useful to have as a test.

A 1.7.3 game would be acceptable.  If you do want to share, please zip up the entire save folder.  You can get it to me via a private PM if you don't want to put the game here

Were you running a version built for 1.8?  See my above post

[Gordon Dry]

@linuxgurugamer no ofc - I just replied to my previous poster who said all is okay with the old version

Sorry, it's late and I'm tired.  What is "ofc"?

How long did you let the game run? I also used @mwerle's fork to build for 1.8.1, and without, my memory using was around that at approx 3200, but then dropped significantly after a few minutes, and that was just sitting at KSC.  This is on a recently (yesterday) 1.8.1 install, some mods, new save with no pilot data, but I can send it if that helps.  Ill also start a second save and play awhile if real data helps.

'ofc' tends to be used for 'of course'

I ised QuickStart to get to a flight scene.  Had about 20 mods installed.  

I ran it several times to be sure.

Ok, PM sent for a save that has the problem, I also included a mod list if that helps.

Thank you, I’ll look at it later.

I would like a few more from other people

[linuxgurugamer]

Just an FYI, if I get enough support in helping me debug the memory issues, I'll consider adopting it.

What's the best way to report memory usage?
