Need help launching KSP when not online

[Veritech]

I occasionally take my laptop with me to visit family, who doesn't have internet. When I try to play KSP while visiting them, the launcher is stuck trying to check for updates because I'm not connected to the internet. Is there a way I can play KSP without the need for an internet connection?

Don't run the launcher. Run the ksp.exe in the same folder.

More info:

Right-click the shortcut you normally run the launcher from and check the Properties. "Start in" will tell you the directory you need.

Open explorer, and put that directory into the bar, and find ksp.exe. You can just double click that to start it.

Better yet, right click it and drag it to your desktop and select "create shortcut here" so you can launch it every time.

If you want something special like "fake fullscreen" or OpenGL mode you need to know the switch. Fake Fullscreen is one of my favorites so I know it by heart. You can add those to the shortcut with:

Right click that shortcut and check it's properties.

In the 'Target' box, where it has "bla bla bla\ksp.exe' just add -popupwindow to the end. And turn off "Fullscreen" in the actual game.
