⟨Zeusbeer⟩ How do I ever time a centaur + solid fuel kickstage burn 🥲
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ Principia is CPU intensive, a bit heavy on RAM usage, but it does nothing with your graphics card
<queqiao->
⟨Pumpkinaxe⟩ interesting ok
<queqiao->
⟨Pumpkinaxe⟩ man, i cant even use principia, my poor poor computer cant handle all of the math even for 5 minutes, after 5 mins ksp crashes (edited)
<queqiao->
⟨Pumpkinaxe⟩ @Zeusbeer I've tried running principia without rss/ro/rp1, just a normal unmodded (besides principia) instal and it works fine for approx. 5 minutes then ksp freezes
<queqiao->
⟨Zeusbeer⟩ oof
<queqiao->
⟨Zeusbeer⟩ now the final thing I can think off, what is your cpu?
<queqiao->
⟨Pumpkinaxe⟩ well ksp runs now off of my graphics card so my graphics card is a radeon rx 590, it says on the box that it's "vr ready" or something stupid like that so you'd think it would be able to run 3 body systems
<queqiao->
⟨Pumpkinaxe⟩ however im not skilled in the topic so thats just a guess
<queqiao->
⟨Zeusbeer⟩ again, a graphics card is not what principia requires
<queqiao->
⟨Zeusbeer⟩ a cpu is not a gpu
<queqiao->
⟨Pumpkinaxe⟩ oh right...let me check
<queqiao->
⟨Zeusbeer⟩ also, make sure the displayport/hdmi/whatever cable is actually plugged into your graphics card and not your motherboard, if you're sceptical about it's power
<queqiao->
⟨Pumpkinaxe⟩ 2.7 ghz intel core i7
<queqiao->
⟨Zeusbeer⟩ ??? that should be fine
<queqiao->
⟨Pumpkinaxe⟩ what?!
<queqiao->
⟨Pumpkinaxe⟩ then why it no work!
<queqiao->
⟨Pumpkinaxe⟩ maybe i just had some setting wrong
<queqiao->
⟨Zeusbeer⟩ send the crash log, maybe someone can look at it
<queqiao->
⟨Butcher⟩ Maybe you have broken hardware.
<queqiao->
⟨Pumpkinaxe⟩ k, but i dont feel like getting an unmodded install so its going to be principia along with my like 50 other mods installed
<queqiao->
⟨Pumpkinaxe⟩ oh i highly doubt something is broken
<queqiao->
⟨Pumpkinaxe⟩ i just got this computer
<queqiao->
⟨Zeusbeer⟩ is it a prebuild?
<queqiao->
⟨Pumpkinaxe⟩ its a...
<queqiao->
⟨Pumpkinaxe⟩ a mac
<queqiao->
⟨Pumpkinaxe⟩ but its a good one... lol
<queqiao->
⟨Pumpkinaxe⟩ i do have a pc tho to run other things, with like the windows version of the radeon rx590 or something something... so i could try copying everything over to my windows pc
<queqiao->
⟨Zeusbeer⟩ there is a different procedure to installing on mac
<queqiao->
⟨Pumpkinaxe⟩ oh really?
<queqiao->
⟨Pumpkinaxe⟩ oooohohoohohoho this should be FUN
<queqiao->
⟨Pumpkinaxe⟩ im already excited for this to work
<queqiao->
⟨Pumpkinaxe⟩ thx for the info
<queqiao->
⟨sichelgaita⟩ Stop it! There is a different procedure for *building* on Mac, but installing is just the usual "drop in GameData".
<queqiao->
⟨Zeusbeer⟩ oh
<queqiao->
⟨Zeusbeer⟩ ok sorry
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ @Zeusbeer why are you pointing people to the instruction to build your own version
<queqiao->
⟨Pumpkinaxe⟩ o
<queqiao->
⟨Zeusbeer⟩ well, I am not clown, I am the entire circus, you know this egg
<queqiao->
⟨sichelgaita⟩ Incidentally, I have still not managed to figure out whether @Pumpkinaxe is running "unmodded (besides principia)" or "with like 50 other mods installed".
<queqiao->
⟨sichelgaita⟩ Principia freezing is not something I have heard of. Principia and some other mod fighting each other, happens all the time.
<queqiao->
⟨Zeusbeer⟩ do you have, persistentrotation, installed by accident
<queqiao->
⟨Pumpkinaxe⟩ at the time when i installed principia it was a clean install
<queqiao->
⟨Pumpkinaxe⟩ currently i have like 50 mods installed
<queqiao->
⟨Pumpkinaxe⟩ now that is a rough estimate but still
<queqiao->
⟨Zeusbeer⟩ well strip it down to just 'squad' and 'principia' in the folder and then see if things worko
<queqiao->
⟨Zeusbeer⟩ well strip it down to just 'squad' and 'principia' in the folder and then see if things work (edited)
<queqiao->
⟨Pumpkinaxe⟩ I will do that
<queqiao->
⟨Pumpkinaxe⟩ but first let me take 10 minutes to make a backup
<queqiao->
⟨Pumpkinaxe⟩ oh wait, its already in the process of making a backup
<queqiao->
⟨Zeusbeer⟩ also, have you been testing principia on a running save?
<queqiao->
⟨Zeusbeer⟩ a lot of progress might be lost
<queqiao->
⟨Pumpkinaxe⟩ nope, it was a clean one
<queqiao->
⟨Zeusbeer⟩ alright then
<queqiao->
⟨Pumpkinaxe⟩ this was also maybe a year ago now
<queqiao->
⟨Pumpkinaxe⟩ so maybe things have changed
<queqiao->
⟨sichelgaita⟩ I'm lost again: did it froze a year ago (in which case it's maybe late to report) or today?
<queqiao->
⟨Pumpkinaxe⟩ a year ago, sorry for being so cyptic
<queqiao->
⟨sichelgaita⟩ At any rate, there have been significant performance improvements specifically on macOS.
<queqiao->
⟨Pumpkinaxe⟩ true
<queqiao->
⟨Pumpkinaxe⟩ my backup is almost done, then i will delete EVERY MOD
<queqiao->
⟨sichelgaita⟩ Let's say that you are telling us the story a little bit at a time 🙂
<queqiao->
⟨Pumpkinaxe⟩ sorry, ive been tolled that many times
<queqiao->
⟨sichelgaita⟩ From the description of your hardware you should be fine. Maybe not overly speedy, but fine.
<queqiao->
⟨Pumpkinaxe⟩ yeah lol
<queqiao->
⟨Pumpkinaxe⟩ well i appreciate the chat
<queqiao->
⟨Pumpkinaxe⟩ ill come back online and chat more if any issues arrise
<queqiao->
⟨Zeusbeer⟩ Also, how do you have the box of an rx590 that is inside the mac?
<queqiao->
⟨Pumpkinaxe⟩ LOL! i dont, its an external graphics card
<queqiao->
⟨Zeusbeer⟩ ah, cool
<queqiao->
⟨Zeusbeer⟩ sorry I was just curious 🙃
<queqiao->
⟨Pumpkinaxe⟩ the newest macs dont even support external graphics cards anymore, they are litterally state-of-the-art and are the best things out there currently
<queqiao->
⟨Pumpkinaxe⟩ yeah no problem
<queqiao->
⟨Pumpkinaxe⟩ but they're also like... idk... multiple thousands of dollars
<queqiao->
⟨Zeusbeer⟩ I wonder how ksp would run on an m1 chip, they aren't half bad
<queqiao->
⟨Pumpkinaxe⟩ i mean ksp runs SUPER well on my not so m1 mac, so it be like a super computer lol
<queqiao->
⟨Zeusbeer⟩ uhm, well, the m1 chip is just a chip, there's better non-m1 cpus out there
<queqiao->
⟨Pumpkinaxe⟩ well... true
<queqiao->
⟨Pumpkinaxe⟩ anyway this is the principia chat so if we still talk lets go somewhere else
<queqiao->
⟨Zeusbeer⟩ but we're getting off topic and egg is furiously typing so
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ uh, also it’s an ARM, so Principia will not run, given that it is compiled for x86-64
<queqiao->
⟨Butcher⟩ On topic is fairly loose here.
* raptop
flips sign. Zero [0] days since last wrath of egg invoked
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ speaking of which, how are your cats
<raptop>
Hrm, M1 macs only have 8 GiB of RAM, right?
