Game Crashes on start

[Releca52]

On:​

v2026.5.12.4510
GeForce game ready drivers 610.47

​

- GPU / Driver Version:
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop GPU (6 GB)
AMD Radeon(TM) Graphics (497 MB)

- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800H
- RAM: 16.0 GB

When I open the freshly installed game it always crashes after a few seconds not even letting me see the config menu.
Ive tried fresh installing and re downloading
What should I do?
I am not getting any logs either.

seems like our drivers are up-to-date and the hardware capable enough to run the game on low-medium settings.

The 6GB VRAM of your GPU are the bottleneck here because all textures etc. KSA needs right now need to be loaded into VRAM. (Work on Texture Swapping which should fix this is in the works.)

the game crashes before any logs can be written so you can do the following to troubleshoot this:

1. Does the C:\Users\YourName\Documents\My Games\Kitten Space Agency\Logs\ folder even exist?
2. check Windows Event Viewer (Win+R > eventvwr > Windows Logs > Application > "Find" (on the right side panel of the window if you are using windows 10) -> KSA") for entries with source ".NET Runtime" or "Application Error" around the time you tried to launch. It will contain the needed logs.

I appear to be having same problems (or similar). When I try to run KSA, the screen flickers on a b;llank screen a few times when crashes. All GPU and other drivers are upto date I am running an Ryzen 7800 X3D, RTX 5070 and 64 GB Ram. .Net has been updated

I also have put exclusions on bitdefender.

I have attached latest log
