Senshi Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Worked fine for me. Disabled LoadOnDemand and Active Texture Management and comfortably runs at ~6 GB memory usage.Mods that caused trouble?I only identified TextureReplacer: For some reason, the default settings caused KSP to hang during startup load at random times or cause OutOfMemory errors. Disabling the MipMap-Generation in the TextureReplacer @Default.cfg (and KSPRC.cfg, as I use the renaissance pack) fixes this issue entirely.The game still crashes randomly with OutOfMemory errors or similar messages, but that happens extremely rare and independent of current memory usage.It's very refreshing no longer having to monitor memory usage constantly, trying to anticipate when the next quicksave is necessary before the next crash rolls in . And being able to run with full texture resolution and no compression and low-texture workarounds any more certainly made the game experience a whole lot nicer.An amazing and incredible find, Lillemann!

Rowsdower Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Why isn't this stickied?Because it still seems very much "in progress," though very encouraging. I'd love to see more answers in the survey, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FenrirWolf Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 (edited) Exactly. For many of us who use mods it will be more stable than 32bit even if it still has issues. So it makes no sense to to not release it with a disclaimer like you said.I feel like forum topics like this one are the best place for highly experimental things of this sort. Since it's historically not been ready for wide release, it makes a lot of sense for it to be something available in a do-it-yourself format like in this thread. That way you get a more dedicated and (ideally) more savvy crowd of testers who aren't afraid to poke around at unproven things and aren't afraid of dealing with the random bugs and glitches that come from doing so.Of course if the sample size grows larger and results continue to be encouraging, it could always move on to a wider release. As of this post there are 49 responses to the survey over 2 days. That's a nice number but there are still more results that could be generated just from this thread and word of mouth. It doesn't hurt to let the thing keep going for a while longer before deciding if a more broad distribution is needed.

FenrirWolf Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 what is with all these mono.dll access violation errors?Did you overwrite KSP's version of mono.dll with the proper file? Check your install to make sure you didn't put it in the wrong directory or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CluckingMad Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Eventually figured out why Kethane was freaking out, still had pieces from ActiveTextureManagement running. Oops.Re-installed Kethane after cleaning up (properly this time) the ActiveTextureManagement leftovers and have been playing without any trouble.I did run into some stability issues with certain engine effects (RT-10 boosters in my case, crash as soon as you try to launch a craft with them firing, no identifiable stack references) that were resolved by updating SmokeScreen to 2.1.0. Probably a specific issue to my install but if anyone else runs into funky crashes when firing engines that's something to look at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaAsh Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 This is bonkers. A good bonkers. I've found 64bit KSP to be a lot more stable without ActiveTextureManager, although load times are obviously a lot longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linear Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Works fine, faster loading, couple FPS gained.EDIT: 8+ FPS gain on big ships! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilleman Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 Even I think this is a good thing to have just those files (it's painful to download a 1Gb archive just for 15MB of files there), it's just a legal thing:I don't want this thread to be closed because it cause people to redistribute files without Unity consentment.Can we avoid links on this thread? Even I appreciate the attention.Also, some people complain about the first page instructions being "vague".Does it need some editing? Remember, I won't be able to edit the first page this week.

FenrirWolf Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I feel like performance is better for me too. I didn't take exact FPS measurements but when using my Jool explorer ship the MET is no longer flickering between yellow and green. It stays green the whole time and I don't feel the slowdown I was getting before. Then while hopping around between the Joolian moons I wasn't seeing those annoying flickers in the patched conics either. More testing is needed in that regard but I like what I see.

magico13 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I tested this last night with ATM removed. 5.8 gigs or so used (only 3 or so with ATM). No problems. Slightly higher framerate, but I wasn't recording at the time so that might be the bigger factor. But yeah, the only issue I had was with the astronaut complex screen flash thing. Very awesome find.

Superfluous J Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Before I vote "unplayable," when I start the game I get the error: Unable to load mono library from "d:/KSP_64/ksp_Data/Mono/mono.dll" (error = 193).I downloaded the full Unity 4.3.3 install from the link in the first post and copied the two files as instructed (player_win.exe to KSP.exe and mono.dll to mono.dll). I just verified that both are indeed the same (byte for byte) as in the Unity install directories. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravyne Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Interesting. Whenever the KSP process is up, my computer decides that every click is a left click. Can't click on tabs in Chrome either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
