Realism Overhaul Not Working

[rocketjet787]

Hi I am new to the forum (but not to KSP). I have been playing for a while and been attempting to get RO to work, with no luck. When I download using CKAN it always gets hung up on the loading screen at the first engine file it comes across (no matter what file/mod). I have determined that the "Solver Engines" mod is the cause of the problem. However if I remove "Solver Engines" then some of the other mods won't work. I have not heard of anyone else having this problem so I finally decided to ask, is there something I'm missing (I have all required mods)? is there something special that needs to be done? Or does anybody have any advice?

Well there are two problems I can think of, you are running out of RAM (windows/mac only 4GB) or you do not have ModuleManager installed.

I do have module manager installed and I shouldn't be running out of RAM because it will boot perfectly fine without solver engines (however the engines in the game don't work).

Interesting, talk to @NathanKell about this, he should be able to help.

Alright, thanks for the help!

No problem!

If you are stuck while loading any engine part, do the following:

1. Go to the KSP parent directory.

2. Open the "build.txt" file.

3. Check the numbers. If you have the number "1024" you must update KSP for RO to work.

Also, ModuleManager should give you a warning about the incorrect KSP version.

Ok I got it figured out. I just downloaded a fresh copy off steam and used that, it appears my older was was in date but had lost some files through the copy and paste process :). Thank you all for the help!

@legoclone09 I do read threads you know, no need to poke me especially.
 

@rocketjet787 my guess is you had a pre-1028 build and the redownload updated you. Glad it's fixed!
