Crash When Entering VAB

[Ryds]

Hi there,

I'm not too sure what is causing this crash. When I start a new game, the 1st time I enter the VAB everything is fine but when I come back from a mission or revert the VAB tries to load then crashes. Sometimes it will load but then when I try to load a saved ship it crashes.

After reading around the forums I thought it might be a texture issue so I removed ATM and texture replacer but no joy. I've updated my drivers too and set the mouse frequency thing to 125ms.

I've copied the folder and tried fresh installs (with the below mods +/- ATM and texture replacer) but it keeps happening.

I'm not sure where to find the error logs, if you they'll help then please let me know where to find em.

Thanks!

Is KSP working for you on a plain unmodded install?

You can find the logs here (might want to read that whole post):

The Logs

These are text files that the game spits out for debugging purposes as it runs; if something broke horribly in-game, there will be something in here about it. You should upload the entire log as a file (i.e. not to pastebin); you can use dropbox or an equivalent host to upload the file. Make sure the entire file gets uploaded; you may have to zip it first, as logs can be very long. Here is where you can find the log:

• Windows: KSP_win\KSP_Data\output_log.txt (32bit) or KSP_win64\KSP_x64_Data\output_log.txt (64bit)
  
• Mac OS X: Open Console, on the left side of the window there is a menu that says 'files'. Scroll down the list and find the Unity drop down, under Unity there will be Player.log ( Files>~/Library/Logs>Unity>Player.log )
  
• Linux: ~/.config/unity3d/Squad/Kerbal\ Space\ Program/Player.log

It doesn't happen with a plain install and sorry but i cannot find the player.log file in linux. I've searched for the unity3d folder and it isn't there. loads of folders named just Unity are tho.

I bought the game direct from Squad so it isn't a Steam download if that helps.

Anyone?

[Ryds]

Hello?

[Ryds]

I've just tried another fresh install with these mods and it still happens. I'd really appreciate some help with this or at least a pointer in the right direction as I'm not seeing anyone else reporting this. As I said if someone can show me how to get the log file(I cannot find the folder mentioned in the instructions) then I'll post it.

Thanks.

Even just someone to say, ah yeah, that's an issue that Squad are looking into, sit tight it's being worked on.

Slightly frustrated with lack of support.

Can you find the ~/.config folder? The unity3d folder really should be in there. Post a screenshot if it isn't...

[Ryds]

Hi!

Thanks for responding. Perhaps I'm looking in the wrong place but there's no config file in the KSP folder and I've searched the whole drive for any config folder and there isn't one in the partition!

I also unzipped a new KSP folder from the download zip and there isn't a config folder there :/

Do you think maybe I had a corrupted download?

Here's the screenshots of both modded and unmodded folders - I've looked inside each individual folder trees in them.

[Ryds]

I got another zip from the store and that didn't have the config file in it either. I have the feeling I'm missing something blatantly obvious.

[eodh]

In windows, the log is in ksp_data, I don't know anything about linux version, so if it isn't there, I don't know.

As for crashing entering the VAB, and VAB problems in general, so far I only encountered two causes: corrupted savegame (something related to the progress tracking and missing / fired kerbals) and most recently a bug is appearing after you first scan for planetary resources in Kerbin, and seems to be related to the Community Resource Pack.

If you're trying with a pure new savegame, I don't know what your problem may be...

[Ryds]

Hey Eodh,

Thanks. I can't find anything online pointing me to the log file with a higher address than ~/.config... It's def. not in ksp_data pf any of the installs I've extracted.

Good point about the pure new save game. I have only been trying with the original zip I got when I bought it. I'll try the latest one I've downloaded from Squad - but again, there is no ~/.config folder in that file. Maybe it's created when I first run it, I dunno, really hoping someone with Linux experience can chip in and point me in the right direction.

Log file @ '~/.config/unity3d/Player.log', where '~' denotes the users home directory, and '.config' is a hidden folder therein. Use the whole path in a terminal - e.g. 'pastebinit -i ~/.config/unity3d/Player.log', or search for the 'show hidden files' option in your filemanager of choice.

Leading '.' in the filename = hidden file.

I make a symbolic link from my KSP directory for convenience, the default location is a pain.

Ok great, thanks Steve! I'll try that tommorow. Cheers!
