KSP Freezes on the loading screen

Please look in the "Stock Support" sticky thread in this sub-forum for details of how to find and upload your player.log file.

Hi Oryip, will kSP work if you start the KSP.x86 or KSP.x86_64 in the game folder directly?

[Oryip]

If I run KSP.x86_64 nothing happens

If I run KSP.x86 it runs the game but gets stuck at the exact same spot on the loading screen.

Please try starting KSP from the terminal with "LC_ALL=C ./KSP.x86"

Make sure you are in the KSP directory, it's easiest to open the terminal within the KSP game folder.

I tried doing the in the terminal and got

"bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (C./KSP.x86)"

[sal_vager]

Did you miss the space?

Copy the following line and paste it into your terminal.

LC_ALL=C ./KSP.x86

You were correct, I was missing the space.

Now I'm getting

"bash: ./KSP.x86: No such file or directory"

[Padishar]

You must be in the wrong directory, you need to be in the main game directory.

[sal_vager]

Yeah it should say something like "Oryip@computer:~/Path/To/Kerbal$" in your terminal, if you opened the terminal from the menu it'll say "Oryip@computer:~$"

Use the cd command to change directory.

[Oryip]

You were both correct, I forgot to go the the correct directory the second time.

Running the correct command in the correct directory yielded this in the command terminal.

It also opened KSP. It still froze but this time on "Squad/Sound/editorLoop01"

Interestingly the title of the window is "Kerbal Space ro ram" It's obviously just missing a few letters. It's also missing letters in the bar that shows all my windows, where it's titled "Kerbal ace rogram" Not sure if this is a related issue or just some small glitch.

It sounds like a bad download to be honest, I'd try a new one.
