Steam/Ubuntu: Making History crashes

[goodmanbrown]

I've installed the game and the Making History expansion through Steam running on Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic). With the expansion installed, the game no longer runs. Sometimes it crashes before it can load the main menu. Sometimes it crashes or freezes at the main menu. The farthest I've ever made it was to click through to the Making History select-a-mission screen, at which point the game froze.

If I uninstall the expansion, the base game still works fine.

Is anyone else seeing this behavior? Anyone come up with a workaround?

Yeah I'm seeing this too, my log said that it was an Out of Memory error - which makes me think Steam is launching KSP.x86 - the workaround is to launch KSp.x86_64 directly instead of through Steam (theres probably a way to point it at the right executable, but I never launch KSP through Steam anyway so I've not looked into it).

Edit: Oh wow old post whoops. Well, I'll leave this up in case you are still around, or someone else has this issue.
