Found out why KSP was crashing...

[HafCoJoe]

I have a 32 bit GOOD computer and KSP was crashing like crazy mainly because my CP is full to the brim on space. I deleted all files in my recycle bin, added 30 gigs. Fixed :I

Edit: (Ha! Get it? Full on SPACE)

Glad you got it fixed! It's strange that that was the source of the crashing but if you got it fixed then it's all good.

Not necessarily strange... if the C partition is maxed out, and KSP goes on its usual RAM-gobbling frenzy, then Windows will attempt to increase the size of the pagefile but fails (because there's no room). This can lead programs running into OutOfMemory errors, which always result in a hard crash.

THANK YOU so much

You've just fixed my game from crashing for over 6 months.

You should never allow your hdd/ssd to become completely full. Programs need space to write temporary files.

I have a 120SSD for OS and apps, and 2 TB HDD for data and files.

No idea why the C:/ drive needed the free space as all the KSP game files are stored on the D:/

Page file.

Yup. the virtual ram pagefile will only exist on one drive, which is generally C by default.

The C: partition also grows organically over time by such simple things as uninstall information for Microsoft security updates and user data ("my documents", downloads, desktop etc). It's a good idea to occasionally do some spring cleaning.

I highly suggest CCleaner. I had my CPU running at 90% without me even doing anything. After using CCleaner, I got my CPU down to 2%! More CPU power for KSP now

[Random Tank]

Yeah, I agree with Turkwinif; I just installed CCleaner on mate's computer the other day and wiped 24GB of Chrome Temporary Files/Cookies/History

I don't even know....

Well, it's quite a bit faster now! He can play KSP again!

Yeah the computer wasn't "totally" full its just that 5 people use the computer and it had about 15GB left

I will look into that!
