Is there a way to rename a game?

[maddog59]

I've been playing a career game for several months, and only now noticed that when it comes up in the menu, there's a misspelling in it's name. Is there a way to change the game's name without screwing up everything?

I found (what I believe is) the game's folder under C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Kerbal Space Program\saves, but it looks like there's lots of other folders and files that also have that same name as a prefix.

You need to rename it in 2 places. That folder in saves should be changed "so if you named it "my sapce program" change it to "my space program" and then within that folder, find your persistent.sfs file and open it in a text editor. One of the first lines of that will be:

	Title = my sapce program

Change it there as well.

The only potential problem is, if you load a quicksave from before the change the change may revert or something else weird might happen. So either don't do that, or edit the quicksave.sfs file just like you did the persistent.sfs file.

Source: None. I've done it myself with no issues.
