Hi KamikazeF0X.

As you have KSP on Steam, your only option to update is really via Steam without repurchasing KSP elsewhere such as the Squad store or GoG.com.

Also, the patcher doesn't currently work, so it'd be a full download anyway.

So your options are limited, the easiest way would likely be to take a trip off-campus with a laptop and update KSP via a coffee shops or libraries wifi.

Or you could talk to the network administrators, see if any are interested in space and tell them about KSP, I expect they would gladly make an exception for you and let you update via their own unblocked connections.

Another option might be to see if they only block Steam itself, and try updating via steamcmd and the following:

steamcmd +login <user> <password> +force_install_dir "path/to/ksp" +app_update 220200 validate +quit

But I should think that the admins have already thought of this, and rather than blacklist Steam they would use a whitelist instead so it is only possible to connect to sites and services specifically permitted.

But if you are already up-to-date you'll not need to try any of this right now, just open the buildID.txt file in the KSP folder, if it says you have 861 then you're already playing the latest version.

Soo ... I think that the admins have blocked ID server ...

I have the 861 version, I thought KSP 1.0.5 came out ( http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/content/356-Announcing-Kerbal-Space-Program-1-0-5 ), nevermind ...

Thanks a lot !
