Modding causing Crashes

[paladin061]

Yes, I know a huge amount of mods crashes your game. This has gotten so bad that if I change buildings my game crashes. Someone once told me at what size the game is which caused trouble. I just wiped the entire save file and I am re-downloading now. How big does the game have to be to cause performance issues like mine?

System Specs:

Octa-Core i7-3630QM CPU @ 2.4 GHz

Intel ® HD Graphics 4000

Windows 8.1

ACPl 64x Based PC

Please tell me of any other specs you need.

Thanks!

The most common cause of crashes is exceeding the RAM limit. For 32-bit KSP on 64-bit Windows, there's a hard limit of about 3.5 GB. If other programs are using a lot of RAM (or you don't have much to begin with), then the limit is whatever you actually have available. Note that this is different than the size of the game data on your drive because the data (especially textures) are stored in different ways on disk and in RAM.

The How to Get Support sticky has general advice for dealing with memory-related crashes and also tells you what information we need to provide more help.
