Version Upgrading

[chris48083]

Hello all - 

Did some searching but couldn't find anything that answers my questions. If there is a thread I haven't seen, feel free to direct me to it. I have to imagine I'm not the first to ask...

What's the best way to move to a new version? I have a pretty good game going in 1.2.1, but would like to move up to 1.2.2. Can I just move my game files over? What about mods?

I'm on a Mac, if that makes any difference.

Should work completly fine but just to be sure which mods are you using some of them may have to be updated

As @rkarmark said upgrading from 1.2.1 to 1.2.2 should be safe. There are no major differences between the two. Most mods have also made the transition to 1.2.2 and those that did not will probably work just fine. (If they didn't they would have been updated by now.)
But to be sure simply make a back-up of your current game before you upgrade. KSP is DRM free so it is very easy to install the game multiple times.

I would suggest making a fresh clean 1.2.2 install, re-download (to make sure you have the latest version) and install all your favourite mods and copy over your 1.2.1 career.

N.B. Make sure you COPY your save files and not MOVE them. You want to keep your unmodified files until you are absolutely sure the new game works as intended.

Right on, guys! Thanks! I made the jump last night, things seem smooth and everything is there. Kudos to these guys for continuing to improve an already excellent program. 

Thanks again guys!
