KSP save file time travel into the past

[X-982P Kerman]

I have been playing KSP for quite a while but recently there is a problem. Every time I start my KSP save, it would revert in progress many days ago. At first I addressed the problem as KSP autosave stop functioning, but in Backup folder there is the updated autosave file. I am able to recover my progress but the fact that the main "persistent.sfs" not updating automatically really irritate me. Are there similar issues in others KSP? More importantly, Are there any fix?

Never heard of that happening but I have the following suggestions:

1. Verifying KSP through steam might help
2. Do a quicksave and completely delete the persistent file. then load the quicksave
3. Copy the entire KSP folder to another location on your computer (separate to steam)
4. Backup your saves and then uninstall KSP then completely delete the KSP folder if theres anything left and do a clean install. On each update I do this.
5. Are you the administrator of the computer you are using? (thats a real stretch)

Thank you for your reply

I follow your instruction and it resolves the problem very well. Steam verification said I miss 3 files ( don't know how though? ). But after Steam auto-download the files, autosave work agian.
