Kerbal Space Program

Duplicate of issue 9478 but has more info.

And please use the correct priorities as per the wiki, high is for literally game breaking issues, this doesn't break the game.

Saturnine, the logs are showing some odd stuff, and you have a hidden folder in your GameData.

Please try a new install in case you have some corruption, and make sure there's no extra folders in GameData.

Thanks.

I Hereby added the logs for runs with completely clean installs.

I did not make a video again, but tried to follow more or less the exact same steps as in my video.

See also the text file called performed-actions.txt in each zip file for exact reproduction scenarios.

If I can be of any more assistance, let me know.

I am experiencing a very similar issue on my MacBook Pro (mid 2010) running OS X 10.11.4:

- Normally KSP runs at around 15 FPS.
- Sometimes the framerate will suddenly drop to about 3 FPS (slow enough that I can easily count individual frames).
- Putting the machine to sleep (by closing screen) and then waking it will restore frame rate to usual brisk rate, at least for a while.

Prior to 1.1.1, I had only ever seen this happen on a few rare occasions when the machine was running on battery and/or was quite hot (say, because the vents were partially blocked by a laptop case or because it was sitting on a soft surface).

Since roughly around 1.1.1 came out, this has begun to happen very regularly, usually at random within 10-60 seconds of playing. (I cannot say for certain that it started exactly when 1.1.1 came out, but I played quite a lot of 1.1.0 with no problem, while the last few days it has basically been impossible to play because of this problem.)

The problem can often be triggered byloading a larger craft: craft loads up fine, I can move the viewpoint around to look at it, and then a few seconds later everything grinds to a (near) halt. Sleep and wake, everything O.K. for another 5-30 seconds and then back to molasses.

The framerate drops also happen at random, affect all scenes, including the main menus.

Oddly, the framerate as displayed in the "Performance" section of the debug menu appears to bear no relationship to the actual framerate: it normally reports around 25 FPS (with the odd spike up to as much as 60 FPS), regardless of whether things are running normally (which I estimate to be closer to 15 FPS for most scenes) or in painfully-slowly (3 FPS - seriously: I counted 43 frames in 15 seconds, despite debug menu continuing to report an absolutely steady 25 FPS).

I am pretty sure this is GPU rather than CPU related, because Activity Monitor shows the CPU usage dropping proportionately to the framerate, with the CPU otherwise mostly idle.

I have attached the KSP.log file from a test with a fresh 1.1.2 install, with the following sequence of activity:

- Started from Steam.
- I type part of the above bug report.
- Switch to KSP, find it at opening menu running at 3 FPS.
- Sleep, wake, unlock screen: framerate back to perhaps 30 FPS.
- Create new Sandbox game, go into SPH
- In Finder, move a large .craft file into saves/Craft/SPH
- Attempt to open craft in SPH; turns out is has MechJeb module.
- Remove MechJeb from .craft using emacs
- Framerate has dropped to 3 FPS again.
- Sleep, wake, unlock screen: framerate back to perhaps 30 FPS.
- Attempt to open craft in SPH; turns out is had two MechJeb modules.
- Remove second MechJeb from .craft using emacs
- Framerate has dropped to 3 FPS again.
- Exit SPH
- Check settings via escap menu
- Quit savegame
- Check settings via main menu
- Quit game

Setting this to needs clarification as per the bug cleanup underway: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/143980-time-to-clean-up-the-bug-tracker

Would be great to hear feedback on this from 1.1.3 and info re bug. Thanks
