Entropian Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Pretty much stated in the title. Buying KSP2 directly from the Private Division store (currently) bypasses all the infuriating DRM content that Steam and Epic seem to have in their installs. Given the experiences people have been having with the KSP1 PD launcher, I expect KSP2 to be annoyingly difficult to separate out from the Steam and Epic control mechanisms, especially when modding comes around. So yeah, if you want to be sure of an easy experience with mods later on, avoid Steam and Epic. Get it directly from PD. Here's the link to KSP2 on the PD store for those interested: https://store.privatedivision.com/game/kerbal-space-program-2 Please note that I am not saying that you should not buy KSP2, I'm just saying that if you do want to buy it, get it through the PD store.

Kubas_inko Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 You can consider it DRM free even from steam and epic, as the game does not check anything and just runs (I moved it to a different PC after buying it on steam and it launched) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it does, maybe it's nice to change the title and the OP, as to not confuse or induce panic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't get it from Steam or Epic, so I'm not able to do this. If someone else does and finds that it works then I'll certainly change the title and OP, if not ask the mods to delete this thread entirely so as to not promote incorrect information.

It works 100% .The game appeared on a ,,certain,, website 2 minutes after launch.I bought the game,but some of my friends didn't,that's all i'm gonna say.With or without DRM,it is inevitable Edited February 25, 2023 by BobbyDausus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miyagi Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 I got it from Steam. I just closed Steam and then ran "KSP2_x64.exe" directly from the game folder. It ran. It didn't auto launch Steam. I have not moved KSP2 out of the steamapps folder, but it looks like that would work OK. Maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
