As some of you may know Apple just released the latest stable version of macOS a few weeks ago, 10.13 High Sierra. There have been reports of KSP as well as other games presenting issues that render them unplayable. If you have not updated your computer to High Sierra and none of the new features are essential for your day-to-day workflow, we strongly suggest you wait for it and stay on Sierra for now. If you have already updated to High Sierra there are a couple recommendations that could help you:
- Run KSP with the -force-opengl argument, here is how you can set the argument on Steam. For the KSP Store version you can download the shortcut with the argument already set from here. If you need instructions for the GOG version, please let us know.
- Create a partition on your hard drive that uses the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) file system, move KSP to a directory on that partition and run it from there. Here is how to create partitions
- If you have a recent Time Machine backup from before you installed High Sierra, you can roll back your installation to Sierra (or whatever macOS version you had before). This is how you can do that, option 2
We know that these provisional solutions don't work/apply to everyone, but that's currently all we have found out. You can also help us investigate the issue by posting here your computer specs and log files from when KSP is malfunctioning on High Sierra. Click the Apple logo on the top left, select About This Mac, click the System Report button and hit cmd+S to obtain the system specs. And the log file is KSP.log located in your KSP installation folder.
