KSP keeps crashing after few minutes of playing.

[tommy.3399]

So i go into a world and start building a plane etc and after a few minutes the game freezes and crashes. I have no mods installed and the game worked fine a few months ago. I tried re-installing the game but i get the same issue. This issue basically makes KSP unplayable. Is there any way to fix it?

KSP stores a log when it crashes. take a look at that.

Where can i find the log? Because when the game crashes it goes to the desktop and the game shuts down.

Verify game cache? Could be as simple as that.

Nope. Didn't work.

Update graphics drivers?
Memory leaks? End process on some high memory programs or just useless processess.

Where the game is installed, there will be a file called KSP.log, this is probably the best place to start as it's the easiest to find and read. Copy and paste the contents to pastebin.com if you want others to read it then post a link to the paste here.

It says: [WRN 00:34:44.105] To Debug, enable the define: TLA_DEBUG_STACK_LEAK in ThreadsafeLinearAllocator.cpp. This will output the callstacks of the leaked allocations
[WRN 00:34:44.129] Internal: JobTempAlloc has allocations that are more than 4 frames old - this is not allowed and likely a leak

My RAM is running stable at about 4-5 GBs when the game is running. However sometimes at random my CPU jumps from a stable 50% to 99% and that's when the game freezes/crashes. There are no useless processes that take much space at all.

I'd suggest making a post on the official forums with the log.

What version of windows do you have, people have fixed high cpu useage issues through simply upgrading to 10

Right so...something is not handling memory correctly and Unity isn't happy with it. Posting the entire log to pastebin might be helpful. Warnings don't typically result in a crash.

I've been getting a lot of crashing too. The game just wasn't playable yesterday. Everything was broke.

Turn the terrain shader to minimum, this fixed it for me when I had the same issue.
