Launch button not working

[tom_ice_0507]

Hi there,

I recently installed ksp on my laptop and I went on it but when I made a ship and pressed 'launch' nothing happened. All the buttons on the top row went grey (indicating they cant be pressed) but all the ground vehicles were still moving and I could still press all the buttons on the left (ship building). Is this a bug? If so, is there a way to fix it?

Thanks,

I believe it's a bug, this has happened to me before as well.

I restarted the game and it was fine, hasn't happened again so far.

Can't say what causes it, perhaps someone else can shed more light on it.

The thing is, I had KSP on another laptop where I installed a ton of mods, and it started doing this thing on the other laptop. I uninstalled and reinstalled ksp but it kept doing the same thing. Now I've installed ksp on this laptop and i'ts still doing the same thing.

Where did you install it Tom?  If it's the Squad store version and you unzipped it into a protected Windows folder such as Program Files then Windows will stop KSP from saving the ship, so you can't launch.

Please unzip it in C:\Games instead, don't move the current copy as Windows will still prevent it from writing, if the new copy works the one in Program Files can be deleted.

If you installed via Steam, make sure you have some free hard drive space and verify the cache (right click KSP, properties, local files tab, verify integrity).

Let us know how you get on.
