KSP 1.11.1 DLC not updated error

[Chris Solomon]

I am seeing a message on startup saying the two DLC expansions have failed to load (see attached image). I have verified my files several times, uninstalled and reinstalled the DLC, but the same versions continue not to be updated. the steam servers seem to be serving up making history 1.11.0 not 1.11.1 and breaking ground 1.6.0, not 1.6.1. The readmes for the two expansions confirm they are 1.11.0 and 1.6.0. I have also tried switching steam download servers. I am stumped. Is my only choice to revert to KSP 1.10?

Solved!

 

for whatever reason, clearing  the steam download cache fixed the issue. the steam restart following the cache clear saw steam downloading  some files for KSP totaling a couple 100Mb's. I know I deleted the contents of '..\steamapps\downloads\2202200', so steam would download fresh files, so i don't know why clearing the cache worked, but clearing out the files downloaded in '..\steamapps\downloads' did not. Possibly some other file elsewhere in steam was causing the older files to be downloaded?

 

Big thanks to Steam User "Happy Ant" for helping me solve this issue.
