KSP won't work on my PC

[Val]

I spent a lot of money on this game and I've played this on my friend's PC, and I think it's very fun but it doesn't work on mine and simply says KSP.exe has stopped working
PC specs:
OS:Windows 10 home 32bit
Processor:AMD athlon x4 750K
RAM:8gb (3.47 usable)
Graphics card:GTX 660 (All drivers up to date)

You aren't trying to run the x64 version, are you? Your OS won't support it. It also won't support the 8 gigs of RAM you have. If you added them yourself, you wasted your money. If you bought your computer that way, someone took you for a ride.

The min reguired RAM is only 3 (I ran this with only one 4 gig stick), and isn't there a 32 bit executable?

KSP.exe is the 32 bit executable, KSP_x64.exe is the 64 bit executable. If you try to run the x64 executable on a 32 bit OS, it'll produce an error like that one.

What the previous poster mentions about OS support is also correct. If you want to use all 8GB of that RAM, you'll need a 64 bit OS. Though, KSP should (just about) run on a system with only 4GB available.

Have you tried running the executable directly rather than through your Steam client? And do you have both executables present in the steamapps/Kerbal Space Program/ directory?

Why would you put more than 4 GB of ram in a 32bit system? The most a 32bit system can use is 4 GB.

Want proof. Here is the words of Microsoft: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-win_upgrade/whats-the-maximum-ram-support-for-windows-10-home/b1078908-1932-4c12-b5fd-bdcd58984333?auth=1

If anything I might start to think your motherboard which may be possible of allocating more memory than 4 GB is screwing up your system. MoBo not interacting with the OS right basically because it wants to address the extra memory you have but can't because of your OS.

How did you get Windows 10 32 bit anyways? I have owned a computer company for over 10 years and never have seen anyone sell a 32 bit OS in about 5 years or so, I have never even heard of 32 bit Windows 10. Are you enrolled in the Microsoft MAPS program? I know they only handed out 32 bit for a long time for testing. I quit the subscription myself many years ago but I would think they would provide 64 bit now.

To have any hope to run the latest KSP 1.3.x on a 32bit OS, one needs to increase the amount of virtual memory the OS allows to applications from the default 2GB (as KSP 1.3.x takes 2 GB just to load, without add-ons, and will then need more to be played). Here how to increase to 3GB, please note the OS will have less RAM available and that may lead to it crashing: https://msdn.microsoft.com/it-it/library/windows/desktop/bb613473(v=vs.85).aspx .

Also, isn't true anymore 32bit OS are limited to 4GB RAM only, if they can support Physical Address Extension ( https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa366796(v=vs.85).aspx ), though on Win10 you may have to download a PAE patch to enable that ( https://www.windows10download.com/pae-patch/ ).

Can't see any reason from your system specs preventing from upgrading the OS to 64bits: that would certainly result in a much better computing experience, not only while playing KSP.

I never said that the restriction was there like in XP 32bit. You might want to rephrase your statements. i said Windows 10 home 32 bit was limited to 4 GB and I showed proof of it. Learn to read and not spout.

[flying diomedea]

You should be the one changing your statement, as my one (from an official MSDN source, that you seem to not even know what it is) shows you being totally wrong. And I didn't mention Win XP at all, that's not what's being discussed.

[kbmodigity]

OK you are missing the point. The guy has 8 Gb of ram on a MoBo that more than likely can support that much yet is on an OS that can only support 4.

Have you even gone through all the posts in the thread or did you read one and decide to be a SJW and savior to the person in need with no knowlefge of what has already been determined?

Go back and read everything and not just post off of readin the first 3.

[Chibbity]

What? Lol. Did you even read your own link?

PAE is supported only on the following 32-bit versions of Windows running on x86-based systems:

Windows 7 (32 bit only)
Windows Server 2008 (32-bit only)
Windows Vista (32-bit only)
Windows Server 2003 (32-bit only)
Windows XP (32-bit only)

This patch allows you to use more than 3/4GB of RAM on an x86 Windows system. Works on Vista, 7, 8, has been tested on Windows Vista SP2, Windows 7 SP0, Windows 7 SP1 and Windows 8 SP0. Instructions and source code included.

No mention of Windows 10 support anywhere, on either link.

[flying diomedea]

I did read all. That's what saeems you never do. You didn't care to read the references I showed. Perhaps it would be time, you would learn something new.

[kbmodigity]

if your talking to me my link states this:

A:
How much RAM does each edition of Windows 10 support?
Edition
Amount
Windows 10 Home 32 bit
4 GBs
Windows 10 Home 64 bit
128 GBs
Windows 10 Pro 32 bit
4 GBs
Windows 10 Pro 64 bit
512 GBs
Windows 10 Enterprise/Education 32 bit
4 GBs
Windows 10 Enterprise/Education 64 bit
512 GBs

Then please, show me the link that is actually for Windows 10.

Chibbity, don't come showingf you didn't get the thing you too. There's the latest link I provided showing that Win10 is also possible, by that patch. Of course ther was no Win10 when MS wrote the article on PAE.

[kbmodigity]

SO find a more up to date article like I did. Either way I dont know what you are babelling about.

If his MoBo is trying to address memory it sees to a program that wants it, yet the OS is unable to fully allocate, this may be thier problem.

THank you for making me repeat myself instead of just reading what I posted earlier.
