1.2 not loading

[Oafman]

Quite a few similar threads, but none seem to have quite the same issue as me.

When I run a clean Steam install of KSP 1.2, all I see is this:

 

The loading bar starts in that position, and never moves. The words 'Progress Text' never change. I get various background images and witty comments.

The same thing happens in both 32 & 64-bit, and on both Windows and Linux (same PC). Which is odd.

The output log (from Windows) is a stream of error messages, starting with "TypeLoadException: Could not load type 'GameDatabase' from assembly 'Assembly-CSharp, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'."

@Oafman Had something super similar. Go into Steam, verify integrity. If what afflicted me, then this will sound familiar: steam did NOT auto update (assuming yours is on like mine) and when you verify integrity 1300+ files will fail and need to be reacquired. Once done, it will load.  Hope I helped!

Thanks. I'll give this a try this evening. There was clearly some sort of issue with the download, missing files or something.

It just seems weird that the same happened on 2 different operating systems. Something to do with my Steam settings maybe...

Yep, it needed exactly that. The menu music has just started playing as I type this! Many thanks for your help

@Oafman Glad it worked!!!
