I am very confused by this.

So, before 1.2.1, I was using the -force-d3d11 parameter in Steam. I have had zero problems.

 

1.2.1 hits, and now my game crashes CONSTANTLY.

 

Just now, I removed that parameter, and it... works perfectly so far????

 

SQUAD, what in the dickens did you do?! WHAT DID YOU DOOOOO!?!

If it's running perfectly, why do you need to run dx11?  KSP never was meant to run dx11 anyway.  unless you don't have enough ram, dx11 is kinda pointless. I hope the game continues to run perfectly for you though!

I was using it as a means of performance enhancement. It wasn't that I didn't have enough RAM, it's that the game was running out far too quickly. (This was back before 1.1, mind you, and it seemed to carry over into the 1.1.x's.)

I did notice, however, that after destroying some pre-1.2 parts in the ocean, my game is now lagging CONSIDERABLY.

i didnt even know there was such a switch. Good to know

(a little off topic: is there a list with command options?)

There is somewhere on here, but it's most easily found via Google, I think. I really honestly don't recall.

 

The only two I've ever needed to know were -force-d3d11 for DX11 mode, and -force-opengl for OpenGL.
