Crash on startup Brutal.VulkanApi.VkResultError

[Flightless Aviator]

Game Version​

2026.9.10.5438

Operating System​

Windows 11

What Happened​

Every time I launch KSA, after the first config screen (where I set all options to minimum graphics),
first the windows terminal launches for a few seconds showing the message:

[createdump] Writing minidump with heap for process 1540 to file ...\Documents\My Games\Kitten Space Agency\crashdumps\LastChance\KittenSpaceAgency.....dmp.partial

Then the terminal closes and the game crashes.

I have attached the "crashdumps\LastChance" log files generated from two times I tried launching the game, as well as my settings.

What Was Expected​

The game doesn't crash

Reproduction Steps​

1. Probably depends on system specs, I've listed mine in Additional Info.
2. Launch the game
3. Select "Start KSA" in the first menu.

Reproduction Rate​

always

That right there is the problem. Intel integrated graphics are not supported by KSA's tech stack at the moment. Your system will not be able to run the game. In general, a dedicated GPU with 8GB+ of VRAM is recommended to play KSA.

The devs intend to expand the range of supported hardware eventually but that won't be a major focus for some time.
