Cronic Crash on Start Up Problems

[SCCBrear]

So I've finally managed to download KSP, but now when I start it up it crashes, no way around it. Here is the first of 3 error reports/dumps, if the others are needed I can post them as well

Hmm. This problem has come up several times, but seems to be something new. Do you mind also uploading your settings.cfg file and posting a link here? You can find it in your KSP install directory.

Also, what version of windows are you using?

Thanks, and welcome to the forums!

Cheers,

I'm using Windows 7 and that report is from my very first time trying to run things. If it helps I've got KSP installed at d:\Downloads\Software\KSP_win\

Here's a link to the settings.cfg file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/463q5aeghhmbmkb/settings.cfg?dl=0 note that this SHOULD be a standard issue one

OK, just tried to run things again, still not working. Also tried running the patcher program, because I noticed that some folders are empty for an unknown reason. Result of running the patcher? This, which I think may be important

Squad Patcher

Using rsync-2.0.9

Preparation

Detecting if OS-resident rsync is present...

rsync is not already installed, so making use of bin\rsync.exe.

Authentication

Getting login token...

Your session token is 68eba741-40c9-427e-8c5f-fe1661abca5a.

Synchronization

Opening connection to kerbalspaceprogram.com:873 with transport RSYNC...

bin\rsync.exe -zrav --progress rsync://matthewsleeman%40gmail.com@kerbalspaceprogram.com:873/kerbalsp.production/KSP_win/ "d:/Downloads/Software/KSP_win"

The source and destination cannot both be remote.

rsync error: syntax or usage error (code 1) at /home/lapo/package/rsync-3.0.9-1/src/rsync-3.0.9/main.c(1148) [Receiver=3.0.9]

rsync exited with code 1: Syntax or usage error

Cleanup

Cleaning up some leftover files...

[Claw]

Get it out of your downloads directory. Windows sometimes causes problems if you install KSP to protected areas like downloads, documents, program files, or the desktop. The safest bet is to install it to somewhere like C:/Games/KSP

If possible, I recommend installing from a fresh zip. If you try to move your current install, you must copy & paste it. Do NOT "move" it, because windows might try to cause problems still.

Also, there are a few empty folders in KSP by default. It's an old holdover from past versions.
