KSP 1.0 takes ages to launch - 3s per file

[schelli]

Hi ppl,

i was enjoying pre-1.0 KSP for over 112hrs on Steam with the same hardware without any issues.

Now with the 1.0 release the game takes ages to launch.

Around 3 seconds per file (flags, sounds...doesnt matter)

what i did so far:

- removed all mods

- reinstalled the game on my HDD

- reinstalled the game on my SSD

- checked game cache, game files

- disabled steam overlay

- started with admin rights

- started full screen, windowed, full windowed

- removed my old saves and settings

- disabled 64bit mode

So anyone here with the same issues and a workaround?

im eager to play around with 1.0!

thanks

i5 2400

8gb corsair xms3

r9 280x

samsung 840 pro ssd

win7 prof 64bit

as mentioned - no changes on the hardware

i can play games like war thunder, iracing, banished, call of duty, dota etc

without any problems

Hi schelli, can you please see the support stickies and post your game logs.

Also, please try disabling any unused network adapters including Hamachi, as those have been known to cause problems with KSP.

Here is my output log

After waiting for the game to launch (ca. 10min) und starting a career mode game (which loaded super fast, like 2s or so)

Nothing in the log so it's unlikely to be KSP directly, you could try whitelisting KSP in your antivirus in case it's that slowing KSP down (scanning every file)

One thing i remember from the past.

I always launched KSP in windowed mode because im using Eyefinity.

And as soon as i tabbed out of KSP while it was loading to browse the internet or whatever, the loading time was SUPER slow, so i tabbed back in and it regained normal loading speed.

edit:

changed to Fullscreen und Full resolution

checked firewalls etc

launched KSP again

-same issue

Try not to tab out, it can cause instability, also please try disabling any other running programs that may interfere.

If you like to play KSP in full screen, you won't be able to minimize it. It doesn't run well in the background like that. Alternatively, you can run in fake full screen (or borderless window) mode. I think it's an option in the launcher, or you can add -popupwindow to the command line parameters.

Also double check the things Sal said. They cause similar problems 90% of the time.

Cheers,

I had a similar issue once around 0.24 and it was a remnant of a mod installer that caused it however erasing everything ksp related worked for me.

We have the same SSD, did you remember to update the firmware that they recently released? It fixed some performance issues.(However it seems that it was still a problem with your HDD but you never know, sometimes the wierdest things are a fix >.< )
