MarshyMoo Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Hello, I have searched everywhere for an online tutorial to fix this issue but have found nothing. KSP keeps crashing during any loading screen, rarely during gameplay. My initial thoughts was that it was a problem with mods, but I played the game entirely stock after reinstalling it, and it crashed all the same. The next thought was that it was a problem with memory. But I have 64GB of DDR5 memory. The third thought was a memory leak. I've installed mods I think that are supposed to prevent that, but it of course, did not work. This crashing issue has had me pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to fix it and coming up with nothing. I have almost 900 hours in the game and it's been one of my favorite games ever and seeing it end in a whimper makes me incredibly sad. PLEASE help me with this. I've went to so many people. Is anyone a programming wizard or tech master to help me out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anth Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 That sounds frustrating. A few questions: What platform are you using? Online Store, Steam, Epic, GOG? How exactly did you reinstall the game? If the game is uninstalled from steam, the mods stay in the folder, which is why I delete the entire folder after backing up the save folder first. (backing up the thumbs folder is a good idea too) Also, What are your system specs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarshyMoo Posted January 18 Author Share Posted January 18 Yes I am using Steam as the platform. I removed all mods, uninstalled it, and reinstalled it and the issue still persisted. My PC specs are: CPU: Intel i9-13900K GPU: RTX 4090 RAM: 64GB of DDR5 PSU: 1050W Gold I installed the game on my second PC which the specs are: CPU: intel i7-12700KF GPU: RTX 3060 RAM: 32GB of DDR4 PSU: 850W Gold Weirdly enough there were no crashes on my second pc when I ran the game with the same mods which made this problem more complicated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intel i9-13900K is one of the CPU's that have been having stability problems and crashes and have also that CPU has been dying. The way that the bios is set up, that CPU has been getting voltage spikes that can slowly destroy it. I recommend look up your motherboard and get the latest bios update. Look up "i9-13900K problems" on youtube and see what comes up. Have you experienced any other stability problems with other games or the operating system?

MarshyMoo Posted January 18 Author Share Posted January 18 Yeah I first removed all files and uninstalled the game. And yes I am aware of the intel CPU problem and I've updated the bios a while ago when it was a new problem. For any other stability issues, Helldivers 2 crashes pretty often but it's most likely due to the game itself, not my pc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does the log file say for when it crashes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarshyMoo Posted January 18 Author Share Posted January 18 Where do I find a log file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anth Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 6 hours ago, MarshyMoo said: Where do I find a log file? In steam: Right click on Kerbal Space Program in the left menu. Select Properties Select Install files Select Browse Look for KSP.log That is the log file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarshyMoo Posted January 19 Author Share Posted January 19 Ok I think I found it. It's very long, should I just send it to you somehow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmymcgoochie Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Here's the guide for how to find the logs- both KSP.log and the more detailed Player.log which may be more useful: I would suggest uninstalling all your mods (save them as a CKAN modpack first!) and then uninstalling and reinstalling KSP, then copying it and putting the mods into this new copy- that way Steam can't interfere and break anything, which it has a habit of doing.

MarshyMoo Posted January 19 Author Share Posted January 19 I have no idea how to work CKAN. Can you please set out a detailed guide? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarshyMoo Posted January 20 Author Share Posted January 20 Man... I have literally tried EVERYTHING available to me on this pc and it still crashes ksp like always. It's extremely disheartening spending this much time on something that still refuses to work. I've tried stuff with ckan, still crashes. I've tried changing my pc's memory frequency, still crashes. I've tried reinstalling the game countless times, still crashes. I've tried running the game as admin, still crashes. I've tried every optimization that my pc is capable of with the game, still crashes. I've tried launching the game without steam, still crashes. I am so goddamn tired of it...
