Black screen after installing DLC

[alex88]

I've installed the DLC and getting a black screen after start, I've deleted all mods, uninstalled from steam, deleted the folder and reinstalled through steam.

Enabled verbose loggings in settings.cfg, game starts, black screen then shuts off after a couple minutes. Logs only show:

Did KSP v1.4.0 work before installing the DLC? Have you attempted to force OpenGL? This sounds exactly like what I was encountering from v1.4.0 on MacOS 10.12, and it was fixed by using -forceopengl.

See this other post for some instructions:

Yeah it did, with also plenty of mods and still on High Sierra. I've tried to add -force-opengl to the launch options, same problem

Interesting. I’ve not had a chance to install the DLC on my Mac yet; if I run into the same problem and find a solution I’ll share it here, but it’ll be several hours until I get a chance to try. Hopefully somebody can help you by then.

Best of luck!

Thanks for helping! Will see!

Ok so for some reason, now it works

I just bought and installed the DLC and am getting the same problem on my machine, the UI seems to load but the rest of the screen is black on the launchpad. I've unistalled the game and deleted the directory and reinstalled too to make sure mods weren't an issue. Also tried enabling -force-opengl and doesn't seem to work

I'm using Arch Linux though, so whether its a funky misconfiguration or driver there but can test it out on my Mac & Windows VM to see if the same happens.
