Missingno200 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 (edited) I wanted to get my friend into KSP, and so I thought I'd direct him to download the demo, only to find that the demo is mysteriously missing from my searches. I know it exists, I just don't know where to get it, so where can I get it? Edited April 18, 2019 by Missingno200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have an account on Steam, try this link: [snip] It's some time since I did it myself, however. But you can always use the steam console, command Download_Depot. There're some threads here about, search for download_Depot. I'm on mobile now, can't help further.

severedsolo Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 14 hours ago, Lisias said: The Demo is based on the 1.0 release, pretty outdated but yet fun! But for some reason Squad is somewhat ashamed of it. Please ask your friend to write Squad telling how much he/she liked the Demo, and how important it was to decide to buy the game. Has the 1.0 demo been pulled? I just tried this for giggles on the Linux version, and ended up with the original 0.18 demo that I played (although the space centre looks even older) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisias Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Update. It was realized that you can only download the KSP Demo if you had done it in the past. Newcomers will not be able to download it, since the KSP demo was withdrawn from "sales" - a free game is a "sale" of 0USD.

James Kerman Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Welcome to the forum @paarth1, the demo is shareware and as such it is legal to download. I can not speak to how safe it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry but that would be a breach of the terms and conditions of the game and would be illegal. KSP is regularly heavily discounted on the various game platforms so if your friend can wait a little, I'm sure they can get a great deal.

That's a big discount from the 40 USD. On 4/30/2021 at 11:21 PM, James Kerman said: Welcome to the forum @paarth1, the demo is shareware and as such it is legal to download.

Softonic is one of the fishiest and most virus-infested sites out there. If you want the demo so bad you're willing to scour Softonic for it, you might as well look on the forums. Someone (i forget who) had documented all Ksp versions on the KSP Forums up to 0.18 demo. (All versions before 0.18 weren't "sold" as KSP is now, they were free) But please don't use Softonic.

adsii1970 Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Folks, there is NO free demo maintained by Squad or Take-Two. If you find them offered on a third party site, they might contain everything from bugs to malicious code. I would not recommend downloading it - because I certainly would not want to take a chance of downloading anything that even had the potential of harvesting my data or wreaking havoc on my system.

Travisito23 Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 When I copy the command and paste it in steam, it just says "Depot download failed : missing license for depots 231411". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to the forum. Unfortunately the info in this thread is years old so I've removed the links to avoid confusion. There is currently no demo version of the game available. Old ones may still be knocking around somewhere on the internet but using them is NOT ADVISABLE at this time, as they are likely to be full of malware.

Vanamonde Posted June 24, 2024 Share Posted June 24, 2024 Well, it's still free... As for a source, it's been years since it was offered, as far as I know. It's no longer recommended, anyway. Wherever you might find it now is not likely to be a safe source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
didi_665 Posted Monday at 01:11 AM Share Posted Monday at 01:11 AM (edited) I have an idea - if we make an site where to put an zip-archived folder with all the game's stuff and it's free?then we get the demo back,without malware.just an idea.if it's illegal to do so,then sorry,didn't know.
