Question about Steam and 64 bit KSP

[alexio12345]

Well, i didn't know where to put this,

I recently discovered that my game runs alot better in the 64 Bit version,

But in the 64 Bit version there seem to be different overlays and stuff.

Does that mean the version is outdated? (I am using Steam btw, and i switched to 64bit under the Beta's Tab of KSP)

In the Beta's Tab it also says (Warning) But i can't read more because the Text is too long.

I hope anyone can help me!

//EDIT

I found out that it is KSP 0.90 That laggs my game, in 0.25 80+ Parts no Problem

KSP 0.90 20+ Parts under 20 FPS I dont know what i shoul do...

Hi, KSP may run better in 64 bit mode, but is generally more unstable. This is because KSP is built on the Unity 4 engine, which, currently, is 32 bit. The warning is simply telling you the game is prone to crashing, regardless of mods - almost clockwork. However, if the lag when running 32 bit is Unbearable, and you're comfortable with the regular crashes, then 64 bit is fine.

Also, 64 bit Ksp IS 32 bit KSP, just tweaked a little, so versions should still be up to date.

Happy rocketeering!

Hi, Thanks for your quick answer, i played the whole day yesterday with mods, and haven't experienced a single crash yet!

Actually the Windows 64 Bit version is 0.25 ... So i can't play the newest version without lags.

That's odd, I would've thought it would have been updated as well. Unity 5 (a newer version of unity is coming out soon, (it should be out by late March), and by then KSP Should be running natively at 64 bit (can't wait, unlimited mods!!!).

Anyway, glad to hear it's not crashing, but there's no way to get the update until SQUAD releases it... You could try running 32 bit KSP in OpenGL instead? It helps it run more smoothly and I saved almost a gig of ram by doing It! Check out this link:http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/84203-Less-memory-usage-by-using-OpenGL for more details.

Glad I coud help

The x64 version should also be updated... Maybe try forcing Steam to verify the game files? (On the Local Files tab.)
