Couldn't play this year due to this old bug. Anybody?

[Dopester]

Hi there, just wanted to ask whether this issue will ever be looked at again:

https://bugs.kerbalspaceprogram.com/issues/24058

KSP 1.7.x seemed to be the last version of the game I could launch. Since then, every version crashed as launch with the error shown in the bug report.

Hi @Dopester, welcome to the forum, just a shame that it was a serious issue with the game the brought you here! I've seen that error on my machine once or twice, but I think it was related to low memory. What are your system specs, please, and are you running a 64 bit operating system or 32 bit?

[Dopester]

Hi! I've been running the game since launch with these specs:

AMD FX-8350 stock

16GB RAM

Radeon R9 380 4GB

Windows 10 Home, v2004 (64bit)

I tried a couple of the standard suggestions from the forum, like command line arguments and older graphics drivers but that didn't help back when i saw this crash for the first time and it still doesn't.

Edit: Oh, sorry I forgot to mention that I also tried a couple clean reinstalls and am running it without mods.

Could you provide a new log?

[Dopester]

I've been out of the loop for quite some time, I think the Player.log is now the only log, right? This is it:

This is right at the top of the log:

Failed loading assembly Managed/UnityEngine.GridModule.dll
Loading assembly failed: "Managed/UnityEngine.GridModule.dll"

That file should be in ksp_x64_data/managed, check if it’s there and if it is, it may be corrupted.

How did you do the installs?  If Steam, did you manually delete ALL the files before reinstalling?

Via GOG installer downloads, not their Steam-equivalent. Uninstalls only through Windows control panel.

If you mean like through the Steam client, then no since I'm using GOG. If you mean through the KSP launcher (I don't remember if that's possible) then no, too, since the launcher.exe crashes with the same error.

It's there alright. How can I check whether it's corrupted when I'm not using Steam? Would be great if that's all it is but I doubt it. I uninstalled, re-downloaded and re-installed different versions multiple times over the months.

Ope!    Never use the KSP launcher.  It's been outdated by half a decade or so by now.   Nobody's quite sure why they still include it in the download.

AMD compatibility mode, its only there, and saved me for the 1.8.x + versions.

...

@Dopester, do you have AMD compatibility mode enabled?

Can I enable it through an .ini or something because the launcher crashes, too. However, there's Intel people reporting the bug as well.
