Am I the only one having lots of problem with KSP 0.24 with mods in OSX?

Yes.

KSP works just fine with mods on OSX, as long as you install them correctly. The main thing is don't replace your GameData directory (hint, read what any Finder popups tell you, and think about what you are doing - "Replace" means exactly that, getting rid of what's there and replacing it with something else - choose "Cancel" if the popup doesn't sound like what you wanted).

Edit: Oh yeah, and telling us what the actual problems are is mandatory, if you want any specific help or advice. "lots of problems" is almost entirely useless.

I know I'm not suppose to replace the Gamedata dir...

I'l try to be as specific as possible with a couple of examples:

Please note: the game crashes always when loading (loading the game itself, or loading launch, or loading space-center etc..)

never during game play.

First off my Mac: OSX 10.9.4 - MacBook Pro Retina Quad2.6Ghz - 16GB RAM - 1TBFlashDrive (!)

Please supply a complete player.log file from one of these crashing runs as well as any other information it asks for in the sticky "How to get support" thread...

ok here is the log from the example with KWR:

KSP: 0.24 OSX

Problem: Load freezes (KSP does not respond)

Mods installed:

Module Manager 2.4.4

MechJeb2.3.1

EVE7-4

Astronomers' Visual Pack Edges of Oblivion V3 (deleted .tga files as requested by the developer)

KWRocketry 2.6c

Reproduction steps:

The mods work until I install KWR or other mods listed in my last post. (FASA4.972 or Nova Punch2)

That log doesn't show a freeze – can you make sure you upload the whole file, not copy & paste the text? You can find the file from Console by control+clicking on Player.log under Unity.

That said, this line almost certainly points to the problem:

Load freezes (KSP does not respond)

KSP for Mac OS X doesn't crash when it runs out of memory – it freezes. You'll need to install Active Texture Management to get texture-heavy mods like Astronomer's Pack, KW Rocketry, and NovaPunch to run. With all three, I wouldn't be surprised if you need to edit the ATM configs to reduce texture size even more.

I see.. and that is because of 32 bit right? because I have 16GB ram..

[Master Tao]

Yes – 32-bit processes are limited to at most 3.5 GB of RAM, but that number depends on your particular system configuration and how much RAM the rest of your programs are using.

It seems that my problem has ended Master Tao, thank you very much indeed.

I really hope to see 64bit version soon, in the meantime I will try to conquest the Kerbal System
