Hi, so iam having an unknown issue with what i presume to be a mod that crashes my game after a couple of saves or after i leave the game running for a while. its probably not my memory either as i allocated 8gb to the game and these crashes happen regardless. here is what i have found that might be the cause of the issue. any help would be much appreciated.

May be an issue with a mod doing something strange. See crossposted bug report and Alex's reply here

That's a rare bug you can't fix, but it's fixed in next Starsector version.

@MagicKarpson: Check your filters at the bottom of the hullmod screen, the relevant factions/categories may not have been checked after learning.

@flarg: Do a clean install of Diable Avionics (delete old folder before copying new one). (Always update mods in this way)

Got an error that doesn't seem to match the common ones that have been listed above. Gameplay has been mostly normal, slightly slower than vanilla but not problematic. It worked fine yesterday but when I loaded it up today, the main menu load worked, but loading my save file failed and returned an error message (cause exception?). The normal thing I did was begin the vayra's ship pack bounty subquests, working through about three bounties and salvaging several of the specially modified ships.

I have (all enabled)
Diable Avionics 2.53 rc1
Fluff Ship Pack 0.1.11 playtest release
Foundation of Borken 0.2.4-RC3
Galaxy Tigers Faction 1.4.4
LazyLib 2.4f
MagicLib 0.29
Nexerelin 0.96g
Ship/weapon pack 1.11.0
Terraforming and Station Construction 5.4.1
Tiandong Heavy Industries 1.2.1a
Vayra's Sector 3.1.5
Vayra's Ship Pack 1.1.4
Vesperon Combine 1.2.0
zz GraphicsLib 1.4.2

Here's the log portion where everything starts going wrong;

See here and here for an explanation.
Thought: You might be able to find all variants in the mod with the bugged character, and search for those variant names in the save file (or search for the character directly, if it can be copied into the search field). Then delete the unwanted characters.

Thanks for the help. It took me a while to understand fully, but i deleted the undesirable characters and the save loads without fail. One of your links mentioned the Foundation of Borken mod's file location data/variants/FOB_gnophkeh_Standard.variant having a line:

 "displayName": "\u0013Standard",

and "cleaning it up" would prevent the problem from happening again in the future but exactly what did "cleaning it up" mean?

Why am I getting 10 fps in 400 point battle (graphicslib test mission) with GTX 1080 8Gb with graphicslib and gpu is utilized only 7%? Turning off every option in grahhicslib config brings back solid 60fps and gpu is utilized at 12%.

Specs:
- i5-2500k
- GTX 1080 8gb
- 16Gb ram
- ssd

vmparams are set correctly with 8gb allocated memory and starsector.exe and java.exe are forced to use gtx1080 in Nvidia control panel.

vmparams are set correctly with 8gb allocated memory and starsector.exe and java.exe are forced to use gtx1080 in Nvidia control panel.

Your CPU, being 5 years older than your video card, is pretty heavily bottlenecked there.  Note that Starsector is, for basically any modern video card, always going to be CPU-bottlenecked.  You could be running a GTX 680 or something and see little to no difference in performance.  On top of that, GraphicsLib basically tacks several additional renderers on top of the game (the ships are redrawn potentially three additional times each, not to mention all the shader buffers & other setup miscellany, and the lighting engine).

Between 10 and 60 fps (I kind of doubt those are the averages reported at the end of the run; you need to let it finish or the results are too unreliable), it's no surprise the one with 6x the frames pushes your GPU harder than the other.

I ran the benchmark at windowed 1080p with GraphicsLib and LazyLib alone, sounds enabled, with vsync off and the frame limiter set to 165.  GraphicsLib had the deluxe preset.
Run length: 18.8 minutes
Average FPS: 51.6
Minimum FPS: 22.1
Average Frame Variance: 4.39 ms
Perceived Game Speed: 99%
Battle Size: 802

I ran again with GraphicsLib's shaders disabled (the other non-shader scripts were left on).
Run length: 20.1 minutes
Average FPS: 80.2
Minimum FPS: 28.1
Average Frame Variance: 3.15 ms
Perceived Game Speed: 100%
Battle Size: 762

If we consider the average frame rates and account for the slightly smaller battle size that the second run wound up with, we can conclude that GraphicsLib's Deluxe-preset shaders are eating up about 1/3 of my potential performance.  A 33% reduction in FPS is more-or-less what anyone using GraphicsLib should expect.  This is all CPU-limited, as I mentioned before.

Why am I getting 10 fps in 400 point battle (graphicslib test mission) with GTX 1080 8Gb with graphicslib and gpu is utilized only 7%? Turning off every option in grahhicslib config brings back solid 60fps and gpu is utilized at 12%.

Specs:
- i5-2500k
- GTX 1080 8gb
- 16Gb ram
- ssd

vmparams are set correctly with 8gb allocated memory and starsector.exe and java.exe are forced to use gtx1080 in Nvidia control panel.

Your CPU, being 5 years older than your video card, is pretty heavily bottlenecked there.  Note that Starsector is, for basically any modern video card, always going to be CPU-bottlenecked.  You could be running a GTX 680 or something and see little to no difference in performance.  On top of that, GraphicsLib basically tacks several additional renderers on top of the game (the ships are redrawn potentially three additional times each, not to mention all the shader buffers & other setup miscellany, and the lighting engine).

Between 10 and 60 fps (I kind of doubt those are the averages reported at the end of the run; you need to let it finish or the results are too unreliable), it's no surprise the one with 6x the frames pushes your GPU harder than the other.

I ran the benchmark at windowed 1080p with GraphicsLib and LazyLib alone, sounds enabled, with vsync off and the frame limiter set to 165.  GraphicsLib had the deluxe preset.

Got it, need to upgrade CPU, thank you  :)

I been having problems with my game crashing with Fatel:Null I checked my starsector Logs and apparently it has something to with sfx's, I've tryed using openAL but it has not worked I don't know what to do, to fix this.
This crash keeps happening randomly whenever I fight high tech ships

It's failing to load the sounds from disk. Try a reinstall first.
