MerlinCH65 Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Hello I installed via Steam - System Specs are OK - when I click on "Play" I get a loading screen that turns and turns... Any ideas? best Merlin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twidget_Gray Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Im stuck at the PD Launher. (Steam install) Sometime I make it to asking me if I have an account at Paradox, hit Skip. And then a blank rectangle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MerlinCH65 Posted February 24, 2023 Author Share Posted February 24, 2023 Well - I filed a refund - I can play every game even demanding ones like MSFS 2020, Star Citizen, you name it. This thing is... not ready for prom tbh. No time to go through the hustle for a 50 USD title. For that price it has to work out of the box. I'll wait and see once the roadmap has been implemented.

AndyMt Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 I'm stuck on "Loading" after creating a new campaign... very disappointing. Specs of PC used are fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twidget_Gray Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Deleting the launcher folder from appdata, and the PD Launcher from the game's folder, then running KSP2_x64.exe got the ksp2 to run. This pd launcher middle where is the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azgar Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 "Pumping Sim Once" Whatever that means, that is where the game stops loading. And when I restart, the new game is not created, I start all anew and get stuck on a same place. CPU load drops to minimum, disk activity for KSP2 is zero, nothing happens for 15 minutes already. No, it is not slow, it is frozen. And there is no visible way to send a crash report from the game either. I guess, developers should include watchdogs that would notify them when the game crashes. It's XXI century, after all, when you release software, it is supposed to work And IMHO, early access does not mean, it won't even start. It means not all features are there yet.

OldOrange Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 I have the same problem, the game will not start. It gets stuck on Loading, "Checking Staging..." / "Pumping Sim Once". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyMt Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 I was able to solve it! In my case in the Nvidia control panel I've set the PhysiX configuration to "Automatic (recommended". Then I was able to create a new campaign, build and launch a vessel. My machine has a UHD 620 and a "proper" GPU, albeit just fulfilling the minimum requirements . That might have complicated things. At least I can play now, although performance sometimes is poor (10fps at launch of a small craft). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monger Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Same here. Tried this with two machines actually, getting stuck at "patching conics - pumping sim once" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lsrtoval Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 I have the same problem. Looked in the log file and it looks like it freezes after the second Pumping Sim Once completes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulCandy Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 While attempting to land on the Mun, I experienced a game-breaking bug that caused my throttle to permanently lock. 1) Burn retrograde to decent down to surface 2) Speed up timewarp to x2 speed 3) See "throttle locked while above 1x speed" notification that won't go away, even if I slow down timewarp back to 1x speed 4) Deactivate engine (causes this issue to go away, but...) 5) SAS goes awry, and my craft spins faster-and-faster-and-faster even though SAS is on and my NavBall is locked on retrograde. For the record - I submitted this bug on the feedback form + screenshot. I've had a great experience so far w/ minimal bugs other than some graphical oddities, but this is the 1st one I've come across that has completely ruined a flight.

zakattack374 Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 I'm also having problems with loading the game and it gets stuck on "pumping sim once" just spent 50$ on a loading screen ;-; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MGBob1 Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 I have the same problem and deleting the PD launcher did not work. Nor did launching from KSP2_x64.exe. I am just stuck on pumping sim once. Got exited for this game and am hoping for a solution soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamer12843721 Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 I have the same problem and I am considering refunding this game as its not worth 50€ at all. I could get it to load once and then getting stuck at "Pumping Sim Once". CPU, GPU and disk usage drop to nearly 0%. Even MSFS is less wonky.

Termonikov Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Having the same problem. Re-installed, removed the PD Launcher from everywhere and tried from KSP2_64, checked every driver and changed several options from AMD program. Still not working. Playing on a system with RX6600 and i3 12100f Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordiak Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 unfortunately I have the same problem. KSP2_x64.exe launched and stuck on the loading screen. No plan what else I can do.

mcan Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 stuck at "Pumping Sim Once" is there a work around yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewartlittle Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Yep same. It just starts up and says tips, status above and below the loading bar while completely frozen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SneakyDoge Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 I tried just booting the KSP2_x64.exe and that doesn't work, uninstalled and reinstalled, rebooted laptop, and waited, nothing has worked for me yet. I was really looking forward to this game, so hopefully a work around comes out soon. I hate when people use early access as an excuse to release software that doesn't work.
