It’s like instead of storing it in it’s own drawer of a cabinet with a label and reference etc it’s just thrown everything in a big pile on the floor. So it has to sift through the pile 1st time to find it, but then files it so it can find it quickly after that. 

Glad you sorted though 

Thank you for the explanation, it made it much clearer! Good analogy, by the way.

Another hit me as I looked at log.

It looks like you running thru steam.

Try navigating to the install directory, open a terminal window and start the KSP.x86_64 executable directly.
As in just "./KSP.x86_64"

Even if it doesn't work there's a good chance that you'll get some hints when it fails.

Thanks for the tip, and you are correct. But even running it directly from the executable the issue remained the same. Also, it doesn't seem that the commands you provided earlier made any difference at my game. But, anyway, I appreciate the help!

Simply waiting away from the computer for somewhat less than a minute (as said by @FruitGoose) worked.

But I would really like if someone could help me understand why exactly this happens...

Is it freezing when it says “expansion loading complete”? Mine does that and takes a good minute to unfreeze and go to main menu. If you try to click etc it does try to crash. 

Thanks for the help, I'll try... The habit of clicking is stronger than me

There doesnt seem to be anything out of the ordinary in your KSP.log to indicate an issue, I think...

Maybe try posting your Player.log, if those get created on Linux? vOv

Also, makke sure you have good Nvidia drivers... that always seems to be the biggest issue with installing Linux... and latest isnt *always* the best driver, IIRC

I havent played KSP on an Ubuntu distro in a few years, so hopefully someone moar knowledgable will reply

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately it seems that there's no Player.log file on the game directory, would it be in another folder? About the drivers, so I think it will be trial and error until I find a driver that works the best on all of my games, thanks for the advice.

I've recently decided to try Ubuntu after using Windows for years, and installed KSP via steam. The game installs and opens without problem, but after the loading screen, the game crashes and freezes my system.

My specs

KSP.log

I'm a completely new to Linux, so I know pretty much nothing about the more technical side of Ubuntu, so if you can help me by simplifying it the most I will be grateful. Also, I've already tried to change to an older driver version, it indeed worked with KSP, but gave me problems with other games. No mods installed apart from the 2 official DLCs. Reinstalled the game at least three times and nothing changed. Please, help me!
