aftersox

Thanks to everyone who read. I have verified file integrity many times, and reinstalled many time. After everything I attempted I have managed to get everything to work. My last attempt involved installing KSP to a completely different location - /home/myname/ksp/ and everything seems to be running well. If anyone else with Linux seems to have this issue, try installing the game to another location in the install dialogue in Steam.

I have had an itch to play KSP again. I have nearly 1,000 hours in the game at this point. I've played quite a bit before. I reinstalled the game (after I uninstalled from Steam, deleted the directory). No mods (yet) and totally vanilla. It won't start. From Steam I click play and it is preparing, then it just crashes and shows nothing and says nothing. I tried to launch the game from the command line and it tells me this: me@mycomputer:~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Kerbal Space Program$ ./KSP.x86_64 Set current directory to /home/me/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Kerbal Space Program Found path: /home/me/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Kerbal Space Program/KSP.x86_64 There is no data folder "There is no data folder" - I've searched around Google but I haven't found any clear way of dealing with this issue. I'm running Ubuntu 18.04. --- My search on Google: The problem seemed related to case sensitive directories in Linux. https://steamcommunity.com/app/233610/discussions/3/1458455461487758388/ Something about Unity development, not sure how this related: https://forum.unity.com/threads/solved-there-is-no-data-folder.364065/ Anyone have any thoughts on it?
