1.0 hates me

[FlyingPete]

I've been doing some experiments in 1.0 to check out the new features, and the game seems to have developed a habit of randomly crashing for no reason. Flying a plane around just now, the game froze and then crashed to the desktop. Sometimes it will also go through the loading screen (adding K to every word, treating kessler syndrome etc) then crash to the desktop before it even starts. 0.90 never had this trouble, and this is supposed to be a post-beta version...

Anyone else having issues?

Try deleting all the game files and doing a fresh install. You can copy your Saves folder somewhere else and paste it back into the Kerbal Space Program folder afterwards. That's the only suggestion I know of. Maybe someone more knowledgeable can help you out.

It sounds like your having memory crashing, but I'm daring to assume if you're checking out new features, you're not running mods. Only way I know to mem crash the game stock is to get parts to overheat (the overheat warning gauge on parts has a massive memory leak).

EDIT: If you can get me your KSP.log (in ksp_win) and your output_log.txt (in your crash folder), that'd be exceedingly helpful.

please don't blame ksp that easy. there could be issues with your memory. a virus? Modern PC's are very complex structures. nobody knows what could cause that, unless you do some time eating and complex bug searches.

He mentioned it chrashes on the loading screen. there must be more than that.

Moving this over to our Support Forums Do you think you could provide us with some additional information, FlyingPete? It might help us get a better idea of what's going on. You may also want to take a look at our Known Issues & Self-Help thread and see if anything there matches what you're experiencing.

Hope this helps!

On the crashing from the loading screen, the only way I've found to fix this is to delete my settings file and let it reload the defaults. First thing I did with 1.0 was to change the settings to those I'd been using in 0.90 (mainly accounting for use of a dvorak keyboard layout). I use two screens, but this was never an issue in 0.90 as it would fullscreen onto just the one.

Overheat memory leak sounds like a likely candidate for the crashing while flying though...
