Just downloaded today, glitches so bad I can't play.

Just downloaded from Steam today after experimenting with the demo.

I can't do the tutorials, they won't load any view but space:

Tried Science mode but when I go to launch my ship all I get is this...

Video incoming of me running through it, trying to do anything but nothing is working:

Anyway,

Fresh download from Steam, no Mods

Windows 7 x64

Nvidia GTX750Ti, updated driver

Runs other games without trouble - Elite: Dangerous, Hearthstone, etc.

Looking forward to getting this solved, I haven't been able to fly the ship in any way since buying the game.

SOLVED by the fine folks over on the Reddit forum. Steam had not downloaded all of the files (missed 2.) Fixed by verifying my game cache through Steam.

I too have this issue. After I verify my cache, it will work but I have to keep verifying it after every tutorial mission in order to keep it working.

I was going to suggest the verifying of the cache. Tyler, I'm not sure why what's happening to you is happening, but it strongly sounds like something is either deleting files on the KSP install, or perhaps the files are being marked Administrator instead of for anybody. I don't have KSP on Steam so can't help with any specifics, that's just what it sounds like. If you can get the game installed on another drive (lots of computers these days have a D: drive. See if you can install it there. Or at least move it to c:\ksp\ or something) and see if that helps.

In case it's a Steam issue, you could also try to copy the whole KSP folder to a different location after verifying the downloaded files and play the game from there. KSP is currently a "portable" application and doesn't come with any copy protection.

If was to copy/move it, where would be the best place? I tried moving it all to a folder on the Desktop, but the glitches still continued.

If you have a d: drive on your computer, then put it in d:\

I have all my KSP installs there. d:\ksp_stock, d:\ksp_stockish, d:\ksp_newhorizons, etc.

If you don't, I'd create a folder off of c:\ named ksp, and then put your installs there. c:\ksp\ksp_stock, c:\ksp\ksp\stockish, etc.
