Solved my stuttering completely by forcing triple-buffering and v-sync through nvidia control panel program settings for javaw.exe and running Rivatuner Statistics Server with a 60fps framerate limit.

Also using a custom Miko_R3.txt settings Himemiko gave me, optimized for i5-12400F with DDR4 ram (apparently when detecting 12th gen intel, it by default uses values set for much faster DDR5 timings).

for the instructions that you posted in regards to getting the steam overlay to work, I tried adding "C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe" /C C:\games\Starsector\Miko_Silent.bat to steam, but it didn't seem to work. After doing some digging, I found out that by adding cmd next to /C, I was able to solve this problem. This is what I did: "C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe" cmd /C C:\games\Starsector\Miko_Silent.bat

perhaps you could add this to the instructions to save people some time?

Hello!

This maybe a noob question, but what am I supposed to do with the open JDK download above the main file?

[Chiefbigfeather]

For some reason, the mod won't start on my linux machine. Works fine on my windows. I double checked if I extracted everything correctly, but I'm good at messing up.
This is what the terminal looks like after trying to execute Kitsunebi.sh:

I'm on the latest debian 12 xfce with a 12th gen CPU/iGPU.

Thanks in advance for help on that matter!

Edit: Never mind. It was a permission error.

The game still runs very poorly on my 1250u though. But I suspect that has more to do with triple buffering and vsync being enabled in the driver then anything else.

Hello!

This maybe a noob question, but what am I supposed to do with the open JDK download above the main file?

You need to put it into your starsector game folder in order for the main file to function properly.

I need a bit of help, just made an account for this.

I did everything in the instructions and it runs beautifully, however, for some reason quick saving immediately corrupts the save file, and trying to load it will lead to an error message saying that the system cannot find the file specified.
saving normally doesn't cause this issue so far, I've been tasting for only 5 minutes.

Any idea as to why this happens? I would attach the log file but there is 4 of them, all MB big

[Xnnea]

It's me again.
I've resolved the issue, leaving this here to anybody who might experience the same issue.

The autosave feature was having issues naming files, causing them to simply not be found by the game, the issue was resolved by deleting the vast majority of my save files (around 100)
and it resolved the issue.
A bit weird considering it happened to quick saving only, but now it works perfectly.

Props to the Mikohime, this conversion kit gave me a 2,5x performance uplift, especially good for 24x speed up.

Perhaps the MOST essential Starsector mod, and it's baffling how it's not absorbed by the game proper

[Phim]

Hello, do i keep the jre file or do i throw it out, or do i just rename the jdk to jre?

[DaddyO]

Perhaps the MOST essential Starsector mod, and it's baffling how it's not absorbed by the game proper

200% agree with you on this. Why in the hell did this not make it into the core of the game which has been great to play but frustrating as all hell in later parts of the game play?

The BIG questions is why is this NOT LISTED ON THE MOD INDEX??

I looked for the name of author and went line by line and could not find it.  What is going on put this in MOD index for the rest of the community to use as it clearly makes the game playable like it should be.

Saving stuck... halp?

Well, they are working on bringing java17 to starsector. Actually, they are working on this with the help of Himemiko. This will already help ALOT.

Kitsunebi fails to initialize:

2 compiler directives added
WARNING: package java.nio.Buffer.UNSAFE not in java.base
WARNING: package java.awt.Rectangle not in java.desktop
Error: Unable to initialize main class com.fs.starfarer.StarfarerLauncher

Which "Starsector" folder is this supposed to go into? Starsector has at least 4 different folders, all called starsector, one in /usr/lib/starsector, one in /usr/share/starsector, one in /usr/share/java/starsector, one in .local/share/starsector.
What is the "Starsector" folder supposed to be? The instructions are not helpful here.

SOLVED: It's down to how starsector is installed through arch's aur package, which splits the installation across several directories.
Solved by putting kitsunebi in /usr/share/starsector, then editing `Miko_R3.txt` to point:
`-Djava.library.path=/usr/lib/starsector`
every classpath not under ./mikohime hardcoded to `/usr/share/java/starsector/filename.jar`
`-Dcom.fs.starfarer.setttings` paths to `/home/user/.local/share/starsector` paths.

With steam overlay:
In the steam ui:
games -> Add non-steam game -> browse -> "C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe"
After adding cmd.exe as a game, right click on it and click on properties.
In the properties give it a nice name and give it a picture that you like. You can find the picture that miko uses in: \Starsector\mikohime\ui
Change target to be:
"C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe" /k DRIVE:\where\starsector\is\installed\Miko_Rouge.bat
for me that would be:
"C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe" /k C:\games\Starsector\Miko_Rouge.bat
Change start in to be:
DRIVE:\where\starsector\is\installed
for me that would be:
C:\games\Starsector

Tip: there's a slightly easier/more straight forward way to do this;

cmd.exe automatically changes directory to where ever you tell it to start in, so you can omit the path to the batch file and just put in the file name. 

It's super minor, but it's... neater/very slightly less cumbersome.

Completely unrelated; since the launcher is already being modified is there any chance of letting us save a resolution/scale preset? It'd be dope if I could swap between 1280x800 100% scale, 1920x1080 100% scale, and 3840x2160 200% scale at the press of a button.
