Sttarting without launcher.exe

[DevonKiwi]

Hi guys.  Simple question.  Is there any way to start the game without having to go through launcher.exe?  I've tried just openning ksp.exe, but although it looks like its starting, and I get all the witty stuff, the progess bar never starts,, and I could leave things and go on a 2 week holiday to Blackpool (or the Maldives if I won the lottery), and the game wouldn't start.

Any ideas?

Do you use a lot of mods? Could be bogging it down.

I never start the game with the launcher, and despite using quite a few mods it loads quick enough. I'm not sure why it would work one way and not the other...very strange.

My only other suggestion would be to right click KSP.exe and try selecting "Run as administrator."

I never even knew I had a launcher.exe... I always start mine with Steam OR double-clicking KSP.exe (for the folders with my old installs). Both work identically - with the only benefit of a Steam startup is auto-halting of any background updates/patches for other games.

No idea what's happening with your install.
