I have been trying to troubleshoot this error the past 4 days by testing removing mods and etc. I launched the game with NO MODS AT ALL installed and it stil freezes, and crashes. Ive redownloaded it at least 8 times now and even tried compatibility mode with windows 7 and windows 8.

Everything was working fine until a few days ago, the game started crashing with my modded isntall and i removed mods slowly in an attempt to isolate the problem. Its not the mods..its the game...

Did something get updated sneakily with unity because i just dont understand why it keeps crashing? There was also a graphics card driver update recently but ksp seems to be the only game that crashes.

You posted this under 'unmodded installs' but your log file indicates you still have mods left.

Additionally, just removing your mods doesn't ensure a stock environment. Given that you are using Steam, you should verify your game files. (in your games library, right click KSP, click properties, click the local files tab then click 'verify integrity of game cache')

It is looking for crash memory overflow!

The KSP can only allocate 3,7Gb as it is 32bit.

Follow the memory consumption when loading, opening the Windows Task Manager (Ctrl + ALT + DEL)

No, there was no KSP update recently (i.e., no change since 1.0.4 came out).

I would love to say it's uncommon, but I've seen quite a few times where KSP suddenly starts crashing, and a video driver update causes problems. Try rolling back your driver a version and see if that helps.

Cheers,

and if you must know ksp crashed with that error when only using 1.5 gigs of ram. its not running out of memory

ALSO i get weird graphics issues with my pc after ksp crashes, eg nvidia experience wont open until i reboot

driver has been rolled back to 355.60. testing right now.

update: nope it still crashes with 355.60....

i launch the game without mods after verifying the cache and then it crashes. i verify the cache AGAIN and it says files failed to validate.

also if i launch the game through steam it doesnt load. it says im in game for 2 seconds and then goes back to online....

what the $#%$# is going on with this ?!?

Couldn't say it's certain, but hardware problems can produce symptoms like this. Main memory or GPU memory starting to go, perhaps? I'd boot memtest next going on what's here, plus whatever equivalent diagnostics nvidia cards offer.

ksp is the only game that is giving me problems everything else works fine

as for hardware im getting a new psu soon cause mine is old and dying,other than that all my hardware is totally fine.

its not me, its ksp.

I reckon it's this:

A few players have had issues like yours recently and they were all using software such as this that hooks into memory [Link], modifying RAM and causing KSP to break.

Turn it off, uninstall it if you have to, then try again

I'd like to point out I played 4 hours of metal gear solid 5 with no crashes. I had a few other games crashing. I'm pretty sure its the graphics driver being broken cause of other games breaking, I even did a clean install of my gpu driver.

And I will look into the hooking, I was previously using a program called large address aware for ksp but I disabled it :s

[sal_vager]

It's this.

The other players who were crashing also had this installed, after they removed it KSP was okay.

I actually did have that installed through steam but now i have the standalone version, i just deleted the folder in steam and i guess ill check it out to see if percision X is really causing the problems with the standalone..very interesting.

update: yep removing P-X 16 fixed my problem..what the hell...why is ksp incompatible with P-X 16?!

Its the price you pay for not settling for console games, computers are complicated.

There used to be a time when you would go to a shop to buy a physical copy of a game, pick up the box from the shelf, look at the back only to see "Not compatible with [your operating system, your brand of graphics card etc.]" and you'd just have to put it back on the shelf, no patches, no forums, no updates, nobody to complain to, no nothing. Maybe, if you were very lucky, 2 or 3 years later they would release a "Gold" version or something that would be "Now updated for Windows 95!"...
