reverting back to 1.1..possible via steam?

[stk2008]

Hey all.

The last few days ive been setting up all the cool mods i want to use but now 1.1.1 isout and its going to take a while for the mods to be updated.

 

Any way to stay on 1.1?

 

Thanks

I'm not sure if 1.1 is possible, but I myself have reverted to 1.0.5, because as much as I like the extra smooth graphics and optimized processes of 1.1, it comes at the cost of stability, and I have suffered one CTD too many this past week. My original intention was to rage-quit KSP until Squad fixed their @#$%, but with the lack of other games to keep my interest, here I am.

That said, to revert back to 1.0.5, all you need to do is opt into the "previous stable release" under the Betas tab of KSP's Properties menu in your Steam Library, then allow it to update and roll the files back. Then go to your game folder and edit the version line in the readme file (..\Steam\SteamApps\common\Kerbal Space Program\readme.txt) from 1.1.1 to 1.0.5. Then run CKAN for your mods and enjoy. The readme step is neccessary to run CKAN, otherwise it will mistake your current install for 1.1.1 and display mod compatibility accordingly.

PS:Props to @AlphaWolf for figuring out this workaround!

this takes the crap

I thought I would be smart and turn off auto updates for KSp.

You cant WTF.

So its auto updated to 1.1.1 should have pulled the netwirk cable but that would have left me without internet.

 

This needs to be fixed and an optoin for disable auto updates.

yeah KSP just aint the same without all of the mods :P.

ah well shall wait till the awesome mod community have recompiled there epic mods to work.

 

shame we cant choose to revert to last version as such

Just copy your game folder out of Steam if it bugs you when updates happen   Let Steam maintain a blank, stock copy, so you can monitor updates, and have your own folder for version 1.1.x for as long as you like ^^

Ok so it's advice after the fact, but you can be prepared for when 1.1.2 drops.

Damn it thanks for the help though I shall do this next time I have the game setup with all the cool mods I use.

Dont get me wrong its awesome KSP is being updated and its also awesome we have such an amazeing mod community making awesome mods just want to play play play LOL.

Ah well shall keep checking for updates for the mods I use

You cannot (as far as I can tell) downgrade to 1.1. Last stable release (at least for me) doesn't seem to do anything other than run 1.1.1. You CAN install the 1.1 prerelease still.
