Hi all . I am using an AMD FX-8350 CPU.
My problem is that when I run this game called Kerbal Space Program, My CPU goes to near 100% and causes everything on my PC to be super slow.
If I close the game everything is back to normal.

Theres is one thing that is really weird, The game has 2 launch options , 32bit or 64 bit , If i run the 32 bit version , everything is fine and it never uses more than 10-15 % CPU .

I have submitted bug reports etc but they don't believe it is a problem with the game.

So is it something wrong with the PC or conflicting software or is the game just not optimized for me?

All drivers are upto date .

Specs: GPU: amd 7770
CPU:AMD FX-8350
RAM:16gb
OS: windows 7 ultimate 64 bit (running from SSD)
 
Whats your cooling situation? what cpu cooler are you using and what temps are you seeing. if temps are high the cpu could be throttling and could have less available resources meaning that tasks could take up more % of the available power.
 


Im using the stock cooler , even when my CPU is at 100% it never goes above 60 degrees c


 
It is using around 70% of my CPU usage after around 5 minutes of gameplay .
When i first open the game everything is normal (around 20-40%)
Currently i have no games open but alot of programs (Steam , Curse, Logitech, MSI afterburner,samsung magician, Norton internet security , realtek audio , google chrome and IObit )

Sorry about the long list , but with all this running , my CPU usage is 20-25%
 
And do you see this problem on any other games or is it just this game. If its jus this you may have to go over to the KSP forums or ask through their support or something becuase someone here may not be able to help you.
 


No its just this game , I made a bug report and no one was able to help and the KSP bug trakers denied it was a Optimization issue.
Ill post on the forums and see if anyone has any tips or help.

I tried everything (Thinking it was an issue with my hardware/software)
