KSP 1.0.5.1028 blank sceeen

[ihtoit]

Hi, long time lurker, etc.,

I have an issue with the aforementioned build (and having tried, every other build I still have!), in that starting the client.. .well, doesn't. I don't even get the splash screen. My screen just blanks and all I see is a sea of white. The log file isn't much help either, the contents of which are reproduced in its entirety here:

Installation is the standalone client, no mods, clean install.

Hi ihtoit, usually if KSP doesn't get any further than this it's because there's something wrong with the graphics driver.

Please try updating to the latest driver even if Windows is reporting that you are up to date, and restart the PC.

I'll try that, and let you know. Thx

 

Quick update: apparently my "up to date" graphics driver is older than the laptop! How that happened I have no idea, loading the latest now...

Update  to the update: The driver that was installed for some reason was the old Vista32 Catalyst driver. It SHOULD have been the 64-bit Crimson driver which I KNOW I had installed. How it managed to fall back to a driver I had not even knowingly downloaded, I have NO idea!

Update #3: it works!
