KSP Not Responding On Start...

[TobyTortoise]

Hi, I'm having a huge crisis. I haven't played Kerbal Space Program in a while, so I figured 'Hey I want to play it again!' Unfortunately, it isn't this easy because when I start up the game I am presented with a white screen and if I click on it isays 'Not Responding' So I am left only to close the window. I will show you a video of what is happening...

Note: Halfway through typing this it magically worked, but in case you have the same problem here's what I did:

1. Check your Windows Firewall has KSP allowed

2. Uninstall & Reinstall it via. Steam

3. Try just waiting to see if it loads. I had it open for about 7 minutes while typing this and it worked!

Also make sure ksp is NOT installed in the program files folder. You can store it anywhere you like but there

KSP is quite problematic atm. Best option is to wait.

If it happens to me, the first thing I do is go to Task Manager and end the KSP.exe process (note: not End Task). Then restart KSP and WAIT....

Works almost every time. 

Happy Flying

If it comes to a white screen, SWITCH to another program for a few minutes (I.e. An Internet explorer). Trust me, it helps.

Because it's unzipped and not installed there's no registry entry to tell Windows that KSP is allowed to write files, this can cause things to break.

C:\Games is recommended.

But also, the white screen is not normal, one guy "solved" it by reinstalling Windows, I'd suggest reinstalling only your graphics drivers and rebooting the PC.
