I can't Open KSP in OSX 10.15.7

[jonpen69]

I have had this problem for a while now but I really want to Use KSP on my Mac.

My Issue is: when I load the KSP launcher,

The launcher loads but the play button in greyed out and I am unable to launch the "App" from the launcher. I tried just clicking on the KSP Application itself. that works but the Black KSP screen with the orange progress line at the bottom of the screen just hangs and the app doesn't load. what am I missing?

Not sure why this works, but it does, give it a try.

Open the folder where the KSP files are stored in a Finder window.  Then,

1. Drag the KSP application file out of the folder, and drop it onto the desktop.
2. Drag the same KSP application file from the desktop, back to the KSP folder.
3. Open the KSP application file, should work now.

It's just one of those Mac problems. Since KSP's folder structure is quite unconventional (most games have their folders inside the application, not the application inside the folder and using the resources), I find it more convenient to put the KSP install on my desktop. As a bonus, that also allows you to add mods without having to enter the password into the dialog every single time.
