Your milage may vary.ĭO NOT add -no-singlethreaded to the force DX11 command entry. While enough to prevent memory leak crashing, OpenGL does not reduce RAM as much as DX11 in my testing. * DX11 yields 1.3GB of RAM savings on my maxed out install, whereas OpenGL only saves 0.6-0.7. As long as that remains the case (and until Unity 5 comes out and KSP upgrades to it), enjoy! Now load to menu, play around, and ensure your game (or computer) doesnt explode in a nuclear fireball.

I claim no responsibility for any damage to your saves, crafts, game install, steam library, computer hardware, or anything else.

Some players have reported extreme instability in the past when forcing DX11. WARNING: I do not advise using this to squeeze in more mods than you can successfully load to menu without this tweak (use 64 bit for that).

Accept/apply changes (you can also add ' -popupwindow' for fake full screen mode).

In the target line, add ' -force-d3d11' without the quotes (the intial space does matter).

Thats a good bit better than OpenGL*!īefore: 3.4GB of memory usage just loading into menu.Īfter: 2.1GB of memory usage after 20 minutes of construction. What kind of memory savings are we talking about?įorcing KSP to use DirectX11 causes a 40% reduction in memory usage. Some people also reported violent instability within their game when using this. Some people tried and discovered it delivers massive memory savings. In the past, someone had the bright idea of forcing KSP to run under DirectX11 instead of DX9.

That's the razor's edge of a mem crash right there. I have an install that has 3.4GB of mods just loaded to the space center scene.
