Using 64bit on Steam?

[Comrade Jenkens]

Ok I may just be being dim here but does anyone know how to use the 64bit version on Steam? Mine is only using the 32bit version.

You have to go to the directory it's in and launch the KSP 64 launcher.

Hi, you have to go to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Kerbal Space Program", there you can find KSP_x64.exe application

Took me awhile to figure that out to

I don't even know how long I spent searching for a DLC option for the 64bit version

I tried that as soon as I got it. It just states "Data not found" then "There should be 'KSP_x64_Data'

folder next to the executable"

Edit: It works if I launch directly from C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Kerbal Space Program. However is there any way I can avoid going through 7 layers of folders to get there. Creating a shortcut comes up with the message above.

That doesn't sound right.

Are you using copy to->desktop (create shortcut)?

Or are you copying the launcher and pasting it to the desktop? (if you are, try the copy to option)

Tried that and it worked. Thanks

I was copying the icon.

You can add a new game entry to Steam so you can launch KSP x64 from there without needing to go to the folder.

Games -> Add a Non-Steam Game to My Library -> Browse -> Select KSP_x64.exe -> Add Selected Programs

Bingo.

It's a suprisingly common mistake. When you actually copy the icon yourself, you place is in a new map (desktop map), and the program is designed to search for the data in the map the .exe is

Hi,

There is another way:

- Go on steam, on ure games library

- Right clic on Kerbal Space Program, and search for proprieties

- edit Launch proprieties

- then, add "D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Kerbal Space Program\KSP_x64.exe" %command%

(thats my path, put ures )

By this way, u can launch ure x64 KSP in steam way, wiz steamoverlay, if u want to see friends and or share screenshot over steam
