Verifying expansions stuck on 1.8

[Catto]

I am using ksp 1.8, After it released, And when i launched it, at the end of the screen it said it was "Verifying breaking ground."

I deleted it, Now its saying it with making history.

i REALLY want to use my expansions, But its not working.

 

[nwillard]

Mods? Alt+F12 and see what is throwing up an exception. In my case I deleted Kerbal Engineer and I think Toolbar Controller and then it got me to the main menu... but the menu buttons wouldn't do anything. Alas...

[Catto]

Ok, I'll try that.

 

oh my umbra space industries

Ok, i deleted that

 

no just breaking ground and making history are doing the problem.

[Catto]

yeah i am removing them for now until i find something to fix it.

[Catto]

I DELETED both, and it says "Loading Expansions..."

 

[Snark]

Moving to Technical Support.

Have same issue with loading making history. pressing  Alt f-12 says exception: reflectiontypeloadexception: Exception of type "system.reflection.reflectiontypeloadexception"was thrown

[NippyFlippers]

Same problem here. Game stuck on launch screen.

Alt f-12 displays:

exception: reflectiontypeloadexception: Exception of type "system.reflection.reflectiontypeloadexception"was thrown

[Salticus]

Same Problem here. Veryfied game files, uninstalled and installed both expansions, doesn't work.

 

Edit: It worked after I removed all my mods from CKAN and everythign in GameData except for Squad and Squad Expansion. First I deleted all Mods from CKAN, but even though CKAN and KSP said I had no mods, there still were things in the GameData folder aside from Squad and SquadExpansion, and after I deleted them it works now.

It works now!

Do any of you have ANY mods installed at all?

If you are running it from Steam and you haven't  copied it out of the steam folder, then you need to manually delete the entire KSP director and reinstall

Yes, I have a modded install. (better burntime, usi ls, construction, real chute sand  tweakscale)

I am running standalone not on steam

correct immediately after breaking ground serenity , you get the exception: reflectiontypeloadexception: Exception of type "system.reflection.reflectiontypeloadexception"was thrown

Remove all the mods and try the game.  Very few, if any mods compiled for 1.7.3 and before will work on 1.8

I will do so but the ones i have all are compiled for 1.8 according to the authors

Really dont want to lose my career mode game with many mods

Same thing happening to me after 1.8 update. Stuck at verifying Expansion: Making History Squad Expansion/Making History. Hitting Alt F12 gives me a bunch of the same error.

Exception: NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

[Frankenchokey]

In my case, removing Firespitter Core fixed the problem, even though Firespitter is marked as 1.8 compatible on CKAN. 

Edit: Firespitter works fine on it's own, but doesn't seem to be playing nice with Mechjeb. Mechjeb loads fine as well, as long as Firespitter isn't present.

Back up the save games and wait for the mods to upgrade.  Usually takes about a month.  It's why you should keep a copy of the last version to run for the month.

[Aremos]

Got the same problem. 
Tryed to remove some mods one by one, but cant get it to work, so i am going to roll back to 1.7.3

Gonna try 1.8 again in a couple of weeks, and give the hardworking modders time to update.

I've been getting this as well however after removing the only two mods I use (Kethane and MechJeb) it's worked. I'll try each mod Separately later to see which induced the issue.

[Catto]

yea deleting all mods works.

kethane and mechjeb both said they werent compatible. Maybe they were the problem

Also i am going to delete all the unsupported mods.

[Catto]

yeah i deleted firespitter, kethane, and mechjeb.

It got through the loading screen, But isn't getting to the start screen.

[Catto]

Good news: It got through the loading screen!

 

bad news: some textures are missing.

 

[Rafael acevedo]

removed firespitter and construction that did the trick

[MikeO89]

I tried removing Firesplitter and it did load this time. Problem is a lot of my crafts bases/space stations will no longer load cause now they are all now missing parts. Crap. That's the problem with playing in sandbox mode and spend all your time building stuff with parts from mods. Once you do this, you are dependent on them if you want that craft/base/space station to load at a later time. That's the way I play so I am pretty much fubared in my current state with 1.8 (and my mods). Unless there is a work around for this, I will have to go back to playing my saved and cherished version 1.43. I'm just not going to play without my mods. I just can't do it. I just have too much time invested in all the stuff I've built.
