1.7.1 not Loading

[Gargamel]

This is from the Direct Download from the website, not Steam.

First attempt was with both DLC's, didn't work, then I did another clean install with just the vanilla 1.7.1.

KSP starts up, I get the black loading screen, and a yellow (not blinking) cursor at the bottom of the screen.  And then nothing.

Win10, 8gb Ram, i3 something something.

I'm going to wait till tonight till my net isn't throttled and download another copy of KSP 171, But I'm going to guess it'll do the same...

Since you log shows multiple "UnauthorizedAccessException", there seem to be an issue with the ownership of the files. I would suggest to check the security properties of "C:\Program Files\KSP_win64_171". Just right click on the folder -> properties -> security. You should see a list which contains the administrator account, user accounts, etc. Click on your user account and check if you are allowed to read and execute files from this directory.

Also, open the "Advanced" settings (in the same window) and check the ownership of the folder, it should be displayed right at the top of the new window. If you're Account name is not displayed there, you have to change it. There is a link-like button next to the name of the owner which should say something like edit/modify/whatever. Click on it and another window opens which contains a big input field. Type in the name of your user account and click on "verify name" (or similar) and Windows should find your account. Apply the changes via "OK" and now you should be the owner of the directory.

For the case I just confused you, you have to google it....it's way too complicated on Win10 xD

Don't install it under Program Files. That tree has restrictive permissions and is just going to give you headaches. I created C:\Games and do my game installs there.

BAHAHAHA! Thanks guys!

Should have known this.....  sigh..... But it's been a couple few years since I installed a new version.

I'm curious: Did you move the files in a different directory or did you change the ownership/security properties?^^

I just dragged and dropped into a new directory.   I knew this was an issue from various posts on here, and because of all the bending over backwards I had to do with my 1.3 install, so I just moved them both. 

So yeah, I'm playing 1.7 + MH +BG for the first time, lot's of new shiny things!
