Startup parameters can be configured by creating a new shortcut and then adding the appropriate option in the target line.
- Example
<program file> -popupwindow -monitor 2
For Steam version:
- Choose the game shortcut in Library
- Right click on the game
- Properties -> General -> Set Launch Options...
Change default to run in 64bit (Windows):
- Properties -> General -> Set Launch Options...
- Change default executable to the 64bit version: "<path to KSP directory>\KSP_x64.exe" %command%
ex. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Kerbal Space Program\KSP_x64.exe" %command%
Parameters
