How do I play offline?

[Martian Emigrant]

Hi.

I am running KSP 1.6.0 on Linux Mint 19.1

I have played 1.6 offline a few times without any issues.

But now 1.6 stops at the first loader page then select community on it's own and keeps opening multiple instance of my browser (Firefox).

Faster that I can kill them.

Its crippling my PC and it doesn't want to give up either. So much I can barely close KSP  before a crash.

 

What is going on?

Try a reinstall.

Disclaimer: I don't run Linux so I'm going to answer like you're on Windows.

It sounds like you're using the launcher. Don't do that. Not to fix this, just ever. Don't ever use the launcher.

I said loader when I meant launcher

Are you using the launcher?

Hi.

No launcher.

 

I tried again and there is a weird graphic and mouse offset.

When I aim at he start game button I hit community.

 

Further debugging to be done here.

 

I have moved the game from my second screen to the first. And got out of full screen.

 

Was hard to do.....Clicking while missing.

Thanks for answering.

I've noticed something similar since 1.4 where if you maximize the window (not full screen - just maximized) I get that weird mouse offset.  So now I'm just in the habit of waiting until I get to the main menu before maximizing.

Do you also get graphic weirdness on the top of the screen?

They seem to be gone with the smaller game on my main  screen.

But even with the smaller screen the game is now so slow as being unplayable.

T'was fine this morning. I played for 3 hours straight with no noticeable lag.

The only weird one just before I stopped my playing my Munar Lander exploded coming out of warp....Maybe a bit of the warp core got lodged in the logic core of the software.

@steuben suggested a reinstall. I will try that.

the mouse offset happened to me too I run ubuntu, the solution for me was changing the ui-scale.

I have reinstalled 1.6 and am still running test/scared. But it seems to work right now on screen 1 (I dislike that screen as it is smaller),

Ran system monitor while playing and my system is not overburdened. 75% of memory, <50% CPU on all 4 cores.

 

The biggest thing is the graphic card me think.

If I rotate the camera toward space no lag. If I rotate it to show the Mun below yes lag.

 

Anyway so far no menu offset. And playing offline doesn't seem to be a factor. (I probably called all those windows trying to start the game with that offset).

 

Thanks all.

 

Might see about buying a used graphic card.
