Windows 10 issue

Vegatoxi · August 6, 2015

After install of W10 i cant play KSP.

Launch through Steam, it shows white screen for a few seconds and then i get "KSP.exe has stopped working" message.

On W7 all was fine.

Any suggestions to fix it?

Windows 7 is love, Windows 7 is life.

Don't trust that stinky Windows 10 yet, I'd suggest waiting some time before downloading it so that most bugs get fixed, but you already did it, so...

I did a fresh install of Windows 10 and have had no trouble running KSP.

Read the bug reporting guide for details of how to include the log information people need to help figure out what might be going wrong.

tried KSP on Win10, all works fine. It's more likely something with Steam, haven't tried that on Windows 10 yet.

Or it's something specific to your systems, like a problem with your video or sound drivers.

Update your video drivers.

Manually launch the game as admin by right clicking on KSP.exe then choosing run as admin. If the game works then you may have a permission issue either with steam or ksp. If not, then yeah, video drivers, but probably need to do video drivers anyway.

Vegatoxi, please see [here] and upload your output_log.txt and dxdiag.

Without those everyone is just guessing.

If you are forcing Opengl without an updated driver, that might be the cause.

I had the exact same trouble, KSP wouldn't launch through Steam, so I tried to use the .exe which worked fine, then I removed -force-opengl and it launched through Steam, then updated my driver to the latest for W10, and it worked again.

(i'm going with the assumption you're forcing opengl)

I cant laucnh through .exe too, same sh...

White screen, then "KSP.exe has stopped working"

Where i can find openGL parameters to change?

Also, i'm have the last Nvidia W10 compatible drivers.

not sure, but could be soundcard drivers.

I've heard Creative especially isn't up to date with their drivers for Win10. Maybe they're not the only ones...

Have you tried right clicking KSP.exe then choosing " run with graphics processor -> run with high performance nvidia processor"? Sometimes, getting steam to run games with your nvidia can be tricky, so you may have to manually do it. Also, updating the nvidia gpu doesn't mean you have updated the Intel integrated chip. 2 different GPU's with 2 different drivers.

Also, after looking at output log, I think you may need to verify game cache with steam, or delete and uninstall the game, then reinstall. There may be some files that are either corrupted or missing.

Are you running KSP from an encrypted drive? I see bcryptPrimitives.dll in the log, that's probably not a good idea.

Vegatoxi · August 8, 2015

Well, i don't know, maybe it's some W10 preset...

How i can check/disable it?

sal_vager · August 8, 2015

I don't know, I assumed if you had bCrypt installed you'd know it was there.

You could test running KSP from a memory stick as that wouldn't (shouldn't?) be encrypted.

I have a similar problem.

My fresh KSP install starts. But it ist frozen. It seems that I cannot interact with the game. But as soon as I click on another window it is showing what I clicked. For example: Main Menu is frozen (but not crashed) I click "start game" nothing happens. I go outside KSP and press anything anywhere (so that KSP is not active anymore) and I go back to KSP the Button was finally pressed. The game is only frozen when it is Active.

I force OpenGL and PopupWindowmode.

EDIT:

If I dont force the popup window it works if i have the launcher settings set to non Fullscreen. But then my KSP is in between my screens ( I have 2). So I switched fullscreen mode on and wham (scientific term) same problem as before.

Don't force openGL on Windows 10, it's unreliable, especially if you have dual monitors.

Delete your settings.cfg and start KSP normally please, also make sure your graphics drivers are up to date.

Hallebumba · August 9, 2015

So no mods? Or not as much. Or is there a different Solution?

Thx for the info

Vegatoxi · August 9, 2015

Also, i have not separated HDD parts for OS/other.

I have only disc C:

It can be a reason?

I run with -popupwindow -force-opengl on multi-monitor Win10.

But to get it to work I had to manually edit the resolution in settings.cfg to be sligtly smaller than the desktop resolution om the monitor where the game opens.

For example. My monitor is 2560x1080 so I edited the width to 2558 in settings.cfg.

You can always force Direct X 11 instead.

Vegatoxi · August 10, 2015

Seems it was new nvidia W10 compatible driver.

I roll back to 353.30 and game launched.

Hmm, okay this is useful to know, thank you.

Nice! That worked for me!

Win 10 is running no worse for me than Win 7 did. In terms of drivers we found 85%+ either already made the grade or updated through the upgrade.

I can't speak for ATi but I know NVidia's drivers are marked like live nuclear warheads even though they're perfectly safe and functional. If you don't already have those they're a big step.

It's not finish...

Mircrosoft update politics ruin everything.

Drivers was updated automatically and KSP starts crash again.
