Realism Overhaul: Game doesn't get past opening screen

[38lightning]

Hello, all,

I just decided to try out the Realism Overhaul modpack. It looks like a great combination of the realism of Orbiter and the sandboxy/construction-oriented/game qualities of KSP. However, I am having some trouble opening the game. With the modpack installed, I have only gotten the game to open once.

These same issues have occurred with both the modpack plus several of the recommended mods as well as just the modpack in an otherwise clean, isolated install of 32-bit KSP 0.25. When the game boots up, it gets past the initial loading bar and opens the menu screen where Realism Overhaul starts working its magic on the solar system. At this point one of two things happen.

• The game crashes while the solar system is being rearranged
  
• The game hangs on a particular step in the solar system tranformation process (usually on the VertexColorMapBlend step for one of the bodies), where I have let it sit for over an hour with no change
  
• 
  

Unfortunately, I can't post attachments, so I'm not sure how to go about sharing the output log from one of the crashes.

I have tried searching for other instances of this problem, but haven't come up with anything. I would love to hear anyone's solutions for this.

Thanks,

Sounds like you're running out of process memory for KSP. Use a lower resolution texture pack for RSS, remove part mods, install ATM 4.0, use openGL mode, etc.
