Slow loading (not network adapter bug)

[KaiserMagnus]

I recently installed KSP on a new(ish) computer, but it's loading extremely slowly, easily over half an hour to load up. I've already uninstalled any virtual network adapters, so it isn't that. Any suggestions as to what it might be or where to look?

Not a clue without more information, sorry, it should not take that long.

Loading issues are usually caused by some other software getting in the way, so knowing what processes you have running may help, you can screenshot your taskmanager and upload that to imgur.

Running windows 7 64 bit. Fresh install of 1.0.5

Intel i5-4460

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960

Crucial 250 GB BX100 SSD <-KSP is installed on this

Seagate ST1000DM003 Barracuda 1TB HDD

8GB RAM

It's a completely fresh install, and I've tried installing on both the SSD and HDD.

Nothing obvious there, maybe the output_log.txt in KSP_Data has some info, if the log is being spammed with entries it may explain it.

Other than that maybe try with as much turned off as possible, and whitelisting the KSP.exe in your antivirus program, not that I can even see one in your list, but if you are using an AV it may be scanning all the KSP files when you try to start it.

I'm actually getting the same issue now as well. KSP is taking about 30 mins to load (or 4 secs per individual item). I'm also on Win7 with a fresh install of KSP. I'll look into the antivirus thing (I have AVG), but it's never given me troubles before.

[KaiserMagnus]

It definitely isn't an antivirus issue, I'm using MSE, but the loading time is unaffected even with MSE turned off. I've also tried running it as the first program (except steam) after starting up to no effect.

Okay I should have asked for this at the start, [U][URL="http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/92230-%21%21%21-PLEASE-READ-BEFORE-POSTING-%21%21%21-Stock-Support-Bug-Reporting-Guide"]but I need your output_log.txt and dxdiag hardware report[/URL][/U], please upload them to a file site and post the link here.

There is "settings.cfg" in KSP root directory,open it with text editor and compare this section with yours[code]CALL_HOME = False
DONT_SEND_IP = True
SEND_PROGRESS_DATA = False
CHECK_FOR_UPDATES = False
VERBOSE_DEBUG_LOG = False[/code].
Change everything to as you see above.
If game still loading too long,disable all unused network adapters(by that i mean adapters that don't have connection).

I am having the same issue and changed the setting to what you showed above, but it did not help. I also tried reinstalling KSP, and verifying the cache to no avail. I played KSP fine with 1.01, and all versions before that. All my other games are loading and working fine right now as well still. I am disappointed as I have not played since 1.0, and decided to give it another go now but it takes FOREVER to load. Literally just loading one thing during startup every 3-5 seconds which makes it unplayable for me since I only have a few hours a night to play considering I have a life outside of KSP.

Windows 7 X64
GTX 770
8GB RAM
I5-4670

I am using Avast and tried disabling that as well which made no difference. Edited November 20, 2015 by MaGicBush

MaGicBush, please try a [U][URL="https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/kb/929135"]clean boot[/URL][/U] to eliminate conflicting software and drivers.

Also, please try copying KSP to C:\Games if it's not there already, as the location of KSP on your file system may be a factor.

And upload your output_log .txt from KSP_Data to dropbox.

Most likely it [I]is[/I] the [U][URL="http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/623448/www-class-for-loading-local-texture-is-very-slow.html?sort=oldest"]Unity bug here[/URL][/U] for all three of you, please check for and disable any software that uses a virtual network connection.

KaiserMagnus, for you it looks to be the Nvidia streaming software. Edited November 20, 2015 by sal_vager

Yep I guess Hamachi was causing the issue. I uninstalled it and it loaded up normally. That is a very wierd bug, why would it even try to use a network adapter to load local files lol? It still should be fixed, and I shouldn't have to uninstall a program I use to play(luckily right now I am not using it, but me and a friend play Project Zomboid a lot which we use that program for).

Thanks for the help! I was about to uninstall it and not look back.

OP - I note you have Thunderbird, Skype, Firefox and I can't see what else is open at the same time.
Another item of note is Flux.exe not sure why that should be running.

There may be more but I can't see the bottom of your list.

I suggest you restart your computer (yes I know don't say it but it works especially if memory has been corrupted) and try KSP with no other programs running and see what happens.
Check your CPU load before you try and run KSP it should be idle or very close to it. Edited November 21, 2015 by Korizan
