Corrupt files in KSP folder

[Bishop149]

So I was playing last night and all was fine, tried to load up this morning and KSP just hangs forever at the "Loading Bundle Asset Definitions"

Had a poke around and I'm pretty sure its because some of the file in my KSP folder have somehow become corrupt. Its pretty bad I can't even delete them, even with thrid party tools. I suspect the HDD is dying.

Its about 5 files in total, most of them part of mods so not a big issue however one of them is  "sharedassets 13.assets"

I've copied the entire folder elsewhere minus the corrupt files, will it be ok to replace  sharedassets 13 with a copy from elsewhere?

When you say elsewhere what do you mean?

If you are using steam right click KSP in the Steam app, select properties, local files tab, then verify integrity of game cache..

If you purchased from KSP store or GOG re-download, and create a new copy. You can then copy across your Saves folder and GameData mods into the new copy.

I'm playing on 1.1.2 for various mod. incompatibility reasons.

Steam has a nasty habit of periodically resetting your preferences and updating things whether you want it to or not so I generally play out of a copy of the KSP folder made outside of Steam.

i was thinking I could grab a good copy of the corrupted file from the Steam install, but I assume I'll have to confirm that it is indeed still on 1.1.2

Yes well you have to have the file from the same version number. So If you are playing 1.1.2 and your steam is updated to 1.1.3 then unless you backed it up you are fresh out of luck.
