Can't start new campaign in ksp2

[sebastian99]

Hello, I just downloaded ksp2 but I am unable to start a new campaign. Everytime I click on the "create campaign" button, nothing happens.

To share more info, I downloaded the game directly through the private division website (no steam). When I open the folder where my ksp2 game is installed I found a ksp2.log file that contains a few exceptions and warnings:

I tried reinstalling the game, installing updates on the computer, etc. but still same issue.

I'm also playing on a new laptop, so I could be missing some set up.

Also, new to this forum, so apologies if I missed any rules. If this isn't the place to paste this sort of troubleshooting questions, is there a better place to ask?

Thanks
