Updating to a newer Version on a mac

[OSUAV8R]

Hi Everyone,

  I am wondering how I am supposed to upgrade to newer versions of KSP.  the launcher has an update button, but its never clickable.  I end up downloading via the website .... When I download and extract it, I just end up having two versions of KSP on my mac (Old and Current).  Nothing transfers to the new version (mods, saved games)

 

What am I doing wrong??

 

THanks

Nate

Hello fellow Mac user!  What you are going to need to do is merge the two folders.  Be sure that any mods you have installed are updated as well.  The patcher has been broken for...a while...  If you have problems doing this, feel free to reply.

How do I merge the folders?  I tried copying the saves from the older version to the newer one... but it didnt work

Hold the option key down when you drop the folder:

I merged as shown, but it still opens as 1.1.2

 

Disregard.... all progress lost... Followed KSP's directions from a help request....  all saved games are gone
