KSP crashing during and after loading

[Pantheron]

I've reinstalled KSP several times but it always crashes.
See what I've been seeing way too often.
 

KSP Version: 1.4.5 (frozen version from steam)
KSP.log
error.log
crash.dmp

This is a fresh installation from steam with verified files.

Digging through your KSP log quickly..... I see no errors.    That's odd.

Your error log though, does show this:

 

Quote

 

d3d9.dll caused a Privileged Instruction (0xc0000096)

  in module d3d9.dll at 0033:b095b401.

 

I'm not quite sure what that means.  Anybody?

 

What happens if you install the latest version?

Had to google a bit...looks like something tries to access an I/O device without having the permission to do so.

Going a bit further through the error.log:

@Pantheron I assume you use a multi-monitor setup and 'DisplayFusion' to simulate a single big screen? Try to launch KSP on a single monitor and kill 'DisplayFusion' for this test.

@Gargamel Nope the latest version doesn't work either

@4x4cheesecake I'm using Display Fusion so I can have a second independend task bar. I tried it and it didn't work.

I have a second installation also frozen on 1.4.5 with a lot of mods. It works without any flaw may lag a bit but no crashes.
I've tried to copy it and then run it but it   does    not    work.
Which I do not understand.

Disabling Steam Overlay didn't help either.

Edit:
I started KSP with `-force-opengl` but it crashed again:
KSP.log
error.log
crash.dmp
I got the same error in a different dll.

tested with -force-opengl

[Pantheron]

Starting with `-force-d3d11` seems to have solved the problem. But I do not understand why it crashes with DirectX 9 and OpenGL but not with DirectX 11.
Now I know why I had `KSP_x64.exe -single-instance -force-d3d11` as my command line arguments in CKAN.

Well, it's actually not the same error, it is an acess violation this time:

Privileged Instruction = Something tries to execute code on your CPU without having the permission to do so.
Access Violation = Something tried to read/write data in your RAM without having the appropriate access.

Indeed, that's strange. I have no clue...

Ok, now I'm curious: Does your modded KSP install also run with this startup parameter?

[Pantheron]

I should know the difference between the errors but my excuse is it was early.

I think I have a clue, the only difference seems to be the startup paramteres.

Yes.

Maybe OpenGL and DirectX 9 are both broken on my PC?
Other games work just fine.
