KSP CTD on initial loading screen

[Winter Hegemon]

Hi guys, newbie to the forum. Been away for a year and desperate to get back to my space program now, but it always crashes either on the loading screen or at the first menu. Here's a link to my log: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AtcO0MP2A_XZ_Q3G8PKILISnCyNF

My comp's pretty old but it used to run KSP just fine. I'm running on 32-bit Win7.

If anyone can help, I'd be super grateful!

Try it with a clean install. You most likely have some older mods installed which out causing the crash. Make sure you have all the mods updated and compiled for version 1.3.1

From your log it appears you have a 32 bit version of Windows and the slightly less than 4GB of RAM that that setup allows. This is not an ideal setup, but you can work around it. 

Go to your C:\Windows\System32 directory and look for a file called cmd.exe, right click it and select the Run as Administrator option, this will bring a command prompt with admin rights. Copy and paste (or type) this in the command prompt:
BCDEDIT.EXE /Set IncreaseUserVa 3072
Restart your computer for changes to take effect. Then play KSP again and check if the crashing stops/becomes less frequent.

That said, it is strongly recommend that you install a 64 bit version of Windows if at all possible.

Hey, thank you both very much. My game was unmodded, but the cmd.exe entry worked like a charm! Would never have guessed that so your help was completely invaluable. I'm back in orbit, so thanks again!
