Startup parameters can be configured by creating a new shortcut and then adding the appropriate option in the target line.

Example

<program file> -popupwindow -adapter 2

For Steam version:

  1. Choose the game shortcut in Library
  2. Right click on the game
  3. Select properties
  4. Hit "Set launch options..."

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]
  • -adapter Changes preferred monitor for full screen or full screen window. Example: "-adapter 2"[3]
  • -force-opengl Forces KSP to use openGL[4]
  • -force-d3d9 Forces KSP to use DirectX9[2]
  • -force-d3d11 Forces KSP to use DirectX11
  • -nolog[2]
