These are common problems for newer Kerbal Space Program players who own and play the game through Steam. The most frequently asked questions for these problems are: I update my mods manually or with CKAN; why is KSP-AVC (Kerbal Space Program Automatic Version Checker) telling me I do not have the latest update for this mod installed?! I deleted this mod (or craft). Now it's back again?! My DLC (Missing History or Breaking Ground) isn't showing up in my game?! Background: A while back ago, Steam began to offer a feature to create a cloud archive of key parts of the game as determined by the game's publisher. This idea was in Beta for nearly two years before being released sometime in 2016. It was added to Steam for a couple of reasons: This feature allows the owner of a game to be able to play flawlessly on various devices providing the game's software supports playing on that type of device. To help make it easier for the player, Steam makes a copy of your local files to the cloud storage linked to your account (everyone has cloud storage linked to their account. There is no way to completely disable the feature from your account). When you log onto your Steam account and download the desired game to your device, the files in the cloud are also copied. This way you can play a seamless gaming experience on your tablet, PC, or laptop. Your saved game data is synced with the cloud each time you load a game or exit a game. This feature allows you to be able to permanently delete your Steam library and account from your computer without losing your game's progress, downloaded content, or downloaded mods. You can install Steam, log in to your account, and transfer all your games - with the saved games files - to your new computer and not have to spend hours transferring stuff to an external drive or a lot of flash drives. For the most part, it does well. But with Kerbal Space Program and a dozen other games I have come across, this feature does not always go as planned.
