There is no rhyme

[Guest petmc1]

There is no rhyme nor reason for me to assign to this recurring error. Different ships, different scenes. It crashes randomly. I have no screenshots as I do not subscribe to performing a screen capture every 3 seconds during what should be normal game play.

yes, I've read the support and bug reporting threads for general and OS X.

Currently running the latest Yosemite, but generally feel that might NOT be considered a factor, since this behaviour has plagued me for the longest time even prior to upgrading It's just that I've finally decided to open a media file account and track down all the requested files.

Hello petmc1,

If you have read the but reporting threads, then hopefully you saw that we need, at a minimum, some log files in order to help. If you can't give details about what you were doing during the crash, the log files at least let us know what KSP was trying to do at the time. Maybe that's what you're referring to with the mediafire account?

Also, confirm if you are or not using any add-ons?

Hopefully we can help. Welcome to the forums.

Hang on... I've seen exactly that post before in this forum, but then with links...

Let's see if I can find it.

It's totally not at all creepy that that post has exactly the same wording as yours...

Have played with mods and without. This particular instance is without.

I also get the multicoloured flashing graphics rendering issue on occasion (We need to come up with a name for that amongst us OS X folks - how about " Space Disco"?)

FYI - I play on a post 2011 iMac and also a Macbook - this particular error is being reported on the Macbook.

Files linked below. Thanks for the help if it comes along!

Cheers,

PS) Has anyone suggested an embedded bug reporting system yet? That would greatly simplify the process and help ensure consistency.

Hmm, spambots are scraping the forums for text to blend in now....

Good catch guys

[Wallygator]

YES^^^^^^ I was just about to post a complaint. Since it was I "Wallygator" who posted the original thread.

So what next? Moderator, clean up in Isle 3..." ;-)

EDIT: Nice one, I see he/she/it was banned.

[sal_vager]

That one was banned along with three other sleeper spambots on the same IP, normally their threads are also removed but people have posted in here now so I'll leave it up.

Now we know there's a threat we'll all have to keep an eye out in case there's any more of them.

Edit:

Moving this to the Network.

If you suspect spambots, report them so we can murder them! Quite appropriate, because some of us mods have "brought a costume".

[vexx32]

Pfft, you cosplayers. I live my costume!

Pfft, you cosplayers. I live my costume!

Costume? What's a costume?

Do you have any idea how hard it is to type with talons?

BACK ON TOPIC:

Ah, it was a spambot? Interesting, can't say I've ever seen that before. How many were there before this incident, or have there been too many to count?

[sal_vager]

Far to many to count
