Just wondering how many different versions of KSP are on your computer?

[Turk_WLF]

I’m just wondering how many different versions of KSP other users have on their computers. I have 4 different versions of KSP (.25, .90, 1.0, 1.0.4). I’m thinking about deleting some of the older versions in time but I wanted see what other users do first. I just have been playing 1.0.4.

Thanks,

[DrMarlboro]

Release versions? They are all on 1.0.4.

But I have several different installs. One for my heavily modded career which is interstellar, kw, kolonization, eve, all the near future mods, far, tac life support, and like 10 others. Then a completely stock install for challenges, a stock install with eve for checking out new mods, a realism overhaul install, and an interstellar only install. And I'm sure there are others that have more.

I have two: 0.90 and 1.0.4.

The 0.90 version has a huge pile of mods and tweaks designed to get everything to work together (i.e. full SETI Balance Mod) and 1.0.4 is a stock+ with a lot less mods and is in a state of flux as I randomly try out new mods while waiting until after 1.1 to attempt another epic mod setup.

[Norcalplanner]

I have eleven different installs, but am only currently playing 1.0.4 in several different variants - stock, lightly modded, heavily modded, BD Armory, and RSS/RO.

On this computer?

0.90, 1.0, 1.0.2, and 1.0.4

0.90 and 1.0 are in a zipped archive. 1.0.2 and 1.0.4 are in playable form right now.

On my other computer, I've got zipped archives back to 0.13.3 and 0.15 onward. Basically, if I've installed it, it's been archived. I think I missed a couple of version over the years. When a new version <x> is released, I install <x>, move <x-2> into the archive and delete the desktop shortcuts, move the <x-1> desktop shortcuts to the side, and create new shortcuts for <x>.

I have two: 0.90 and 1.0.4.

Same here, still have my 0.90 RSS install and a bunch of 1.0.4 installs.

[Red Iron Crown]

I have the zips for all the old free versions and all the later ones starting with 0.23 (lost the earlier pay versions in an HDD crash).

Currently have installs of 0.90, 1.0.2, and 1.0.4, but I haven't touched the older ones for a while. Guess it's time to pack them up.

[Clockwork13]

I think I still have old modded versions of everything from 0.23 to 1.0

I thought maybe I was the only one with several KSP installs... Right now, I have 0.90 & 1.0.2 heavily modded, and a lightly modded 1.0.4 right now on Windows that I can play either on Win7 or Win8.1, with a heavily modded 1.0.2 and lightly modded 1.0.4 on 64bit Linux, all on the same computer. But it varies...Sometimes I run more or less...

I usually run a heavily modded version, one or two versions back from whatever current version of KSP is out... I do this to give mod devs time to catch up with new KSP versions...Problem is, I spend a couple months getting a nice heavily modded install going, and BAM!...A new release of KSP drops every 3-5 months... LOL ... I almost wish KSP didnt update so quick...lol

I was keeping all the install packages from 0.18 when I 1st started playing, but lost everything from 0.24.5 back, except for 0.22 in a HDD crash...

Luckily, I still have copies of HUNDREDS of mods, from 0.18 up to 1.04...

My overall KSP folder is just over 28 GB...

I only keep the most recent version, sometimes lagging a little after a new release. But I do have five separate installations across three computers (two dual-booting), covering Windows, OS X and Linux. CKAN to manage mods and git to back up and keep save files synced.

[Gaarst]

I currently have 4 installs of KSP 1.0.4 (stock, modded, modded + RSS, RSS with even more mods) but didn't keep any previous versions though.

EDIT: 6 now as I forgot one (French), and just created a new one to test new mods

I have the downloaded .zip files for 0.23.5, 0.90, 1.02 and 1.04 but I have only 1.0.4 currently installed.

[Kerano]

Eleven versions.

0.21.1

0.22

0.23

0.23 Multiplayer Mod

0.23.5

0.24

0.24.2

0.25

0.90.0

1.0

1.0.4

[GDJ]

On my computer? One (1.04)

On my external HDD? Every release from 0.18.4 until now.

Backups are a good thing.

[Dnaha]

I only have one version of 1.0.4 and one backup just in case something breaks my game.

[Merinsan]

I have 28 different installs.

Ranging from 0.17 to 1.0.4. Multiple copies of some versions, due to mods.

I probably should clean it up a little, because I only play 1.0.4, and I still have zips for most of these.

[The Aziz]

Just deleted most of them, but had 0.9(nostalgic), 0.23, 0.25, 0.90, 1.0, now only have 1.0.4

[Scarecrow88]

All of them since I started playing at 0.19.1

[cantab]

I've got multiple copies of each KSP version since 0.23 when I bought it, as well as the 0.18.3 and 1.0 demos. All apart from the latest got put in a zip to save some space though.

On my computer? One (1.04)

On my external HDD? Every release from 0.18.4 until now.

Backups are a good thing.

Point of order, if it's only on your external drive that's not backing it up, that's archiving it.

[Red Shirt]

Glad this was posted. I thought maybe it was just me.

0.23, 0.23.5, 0.24, 0.25, 0.90, 1.04 clean, 1.04 heavy mod.

I only play the 1.04 heavy mod version. Other than EVE I haven't used many mods in the past. OPM kind of caused an addiction problem. I don't need an intervention. I need the 1.1 64 version!

If you have one of the older versions go back and fire it up once. I was amazed how much less polished it felt and looked.

[Thegamer211]

Two.

The steam one, and a copy I made for DMP multiplayer.

[FyunchClick]

I think I have 0.25, 0.9 and 1.0.0.4 right now. I'll probably delete the older ones any day now as I've now reached the point in 1.0.0.4 where I've reached as far into space I was there and there's little reason to go back. I know opinions are divided but I've only appreciated Kerbal more with each new release.

[yorshee]

Three. A 100% stock install, an install with just KER, KAC, KJR, and Claw's Stock Bugfix, and a more heavily-modded install with KAS/KIS, EPL, KSPRC, Atomic Age, Lack Luster Labs, B9 Aerospace pack, and a load of other stuff.

[qromodynmc]

One with standart game + bd armory and few part mods.

One with far + those mods

One with KSPRC.

[mrclucks]

I have a fairly large ksp backup folder. As for fresh versions I have .90 1.0 1.0.2 1.0.3 1.0.4, as well as a folder for mods, a folder with a bunch of my saves and a text file with whatever mods I had, a folder with a bunch of saved ships that I didn't want to spend hours on building again. They are all separated by version.

I also have a couple of whole game installs that I have literally a few hundred hours of playtime in which I don't want to lose. The whole ksp back up folder is archived to an external hard drive every month or so
