Can not start ksp in 1.9.1

[linqian]

Last days i always play ksp in 1.6.1ver , since i upgrade the game to 1.9.1, after click the start game button in steam, only a black screen are shown with a Immovable progress bar even waiting for minutes. And there is no problem when i back to 1.6.1. Also, i have tried reinstall the game with no mods but can not fix it.

Welcome to the forum

That's a weird issue, your game throws a "TimeZoneNotFoundException" which apparently prevent your game to load.

You should check a few things:

1) Open the date/time settings of windows and check if a timezone is set for your pc. If not, set the correct timezone there and try to start the game again.

2) Check the windows registry: Open the windows search and type "regedit" to find and start the registry editor. Then navigate to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation" and you should find various informations about the configured timezone:

Write down the value of "TimeZoneKeyName", in my example it would be "W. Europe Standard Time", for you, I guess it should be "China Standard Time"

Now, navigate to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Time Zones" and check, if there is an entry with the same name you've noted before.

Spoiler

If any of these entries in your registry is missing, then it is the cause of your issue and we have to figure, how we can fix it.

Do you have Steam Cloud Saving Enabled? 

Disable it from everywhere just in case, you never know.

It might be that even with clean install the steam cloud brings back the problem.

Glad to hear I was able to help you

Don't worry about the false report, the mods in this forum will easily figure out that it was a mistake
