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
Here is an incomplete list of available start up parameters:
| -popupwindow | Enables full screen window mode. "Full Screen" option in graphics settings must be disabled for this to work. This option is also available through the KSP launcher settings. [1] |
| -single-instance | Only allows one instance of KSP. When attempting to launch another instance of KSP, existing instance will become active window. [2] |
| | |
