Costum flag not working

[Randrico]

I tried to make a costum flag, but it isn't working. I've made sure that that the image is 256x160 and that it is in PNG format. Every tutorial I found said that I should copy the image and paste it into the "flags" folder and I that but it still isn't working.  If anyone knows how to fix this issue, please help.

Are you using Steam? Let's start with that...

GO to the menu as I showed you above in that one screen capture. Select the "Local Files" tab and then tell it to verify the local file cache. This should solve the problem with the stock flags. Let's get those working before you wade into deeper waters.

I verified the files and got a message saying: "1 file failed to validate and will be reacquired" and then the game started updating. I verified the files again and this time it said "All files successfully verified". Then I opened the game but still none of the stock flags were showing up, so I closed the game and ran the test again and I again got a message saying "1 file failed to validate and will be reacquired" then I ran it again and got the message "All files successfully verified". I re-opened the game and the stock flags still weren't showing up, so I tested the files a few more times and the same thing happened over and over again.   After every first test after closing the game updated, but none of the updates fixed anything.

Okay, let's force the game to fix itself.

1. In your program manager, go to where your game is stored and delete the Squad folder inside the GameData folder.
2. Delete KSP_x64.exe file.
3. Rerun the local file validation. See if that works. Somewhere your copy of KSP is going wonky.

If you can, see if you can upload your log and place a link here. That can help us diagnose what's going on. I am still thinking you're connected to the game save on the cloud.

 

I deleted KSP_x64.exe and ran the test, but Steam just reinstalled the file and nothing changed.

It's located in This PC/D:/#Steam/steamapps/common/Kerbal Space Program. I don't know how to check logs, I'm sorry.

Here are the logs:

Curious: do the displayed flags change when you click the different labels here, Space Agencies, Organizations, General?

 

I just tried doing that, but the flags stayed the same.

What happens if you quit Steam, copy your whole KSP folder directly to the C:\ drive, open it there, and double click the KSP_x64.exe, not using the launcher?

This actually worked... All of the the costum and stock flags are there. 

Edit: A big thank you to everyone who helped solve this issue.

One more question. Since I'm not running the game through Steam the game won't get updated and my progress won't be saved on the cloud, right? This solution also fixed a lot of the other texture glitches I had like with the service bay and heat shield, but it also broke EVA a bit, since the Kerbals won't turn around while I use the jetpack. And when I was on Minmus I could sometimes randomly see through the ground.
