All installs of KSP insta-crash when launched

[Gaarst]

I was playing my 1.2.2 modded KSP install, when it crashed (it always do). Tough luck, that's a 10 min loading to wait for; except now I simply can't launch it anymore: it crashes as soon as I double click the .exe.
I couldn't be bothered fixing that crash then, so I decided to play my "unmodded" (only KER and Pilot Assistant) 1.3.1 game. Same deal, can't launch it, instantaneous crash when clicking the file.
I then tried with an older modded 1.1.3, a 100% stock 1.3 with the same results (which is why I posted this topic in the unmodded section).

The output_log.txt file is the same for each install (it's slightly different for 1.1.3 but it's only a syntax change), and quite short since the crash occurs six lines in: (below one the log for the 1.3 install)

It looks like something to do with d3d11 (so Unity I guess) or possible my graphics drivers, though I didn't update or change anything recently. I'll try reinstalling drivers and the usual stuff (though I'm not really sure what to check) right after I post this, but any help is still appreciated.

KSP runs on dx9 by default, are you forcing dx11 through a launch command?

No, the only launch command I use is -popupwindow for borderless windowed, and even then I made sure to try to run KSP using both shortcuts with the launch command and the executable file itself (without any launch command). No success there.

I've tried messing with video drivers and such, seems like everything is working and up to date on that side. I'm not 100% sure how to read a dxdiag, but it didn't look like there was anything out of place.

I've successfully launched KSP today though, without changing anything. I don't know if the issue is still there somewhere, so suggestions are still welcome.

Well, I'm glad you've sorted it out for the time being; I don't have any other immediate ideas about what it would be though personally.

It's a bit like trying to fix a car over the phone y'know? Lol.

Best of luck, hopefully it just doesn't happen again!
