MacaCaver775 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I am a long time KSP player but haven't picked up the game in a few years. I got the itch to play the game a few days ago and walked into the whole unable to download issue. Thankfully this has been fixed but I am running into a new issue. When I downloaded the game and DLCs and tried to install them the DLCs are throwing errors about them being the wrong version number. Either they say that the game is an older version and thus incompatible or they say that themselves are in fact the older version and so incompatible. The current error reads as follows, "You are running a version of KSP that its not compatible with the Breaking Ground Expansion, please go to the KSP Store and download the 1.12.0 or above. I am currently running 1.12.5 so I am very confused. Is this something that I can fix myself or do I have to wait on Private Division?

MacaCaver775 Posted January 8 Author Share Posted January 8 Yes it is both dlc are having the issue. The game boots but and plays. I just can't get the dlc loaded and I can't load up my old saves because of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anth Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Oh. You mean that the installer for the DLCs are coming up with a dialog box about incompatibility. I recommend sending a query to private division support via https://support.privatedivision.com/hc/en-us/requests/new I will contact them as well.

Go into the KSP folder and open the buildID64.txt file, and then change build id = 03190 and save (from 68 which is not correct) Then try to reinstall the DLCs. It should work.

MacaCaver775 Posted January 8 Author Share Posted January 8 Well turns out it only partially worked. The making history expansion and the breaking ground both installed but when I went to load up the game later this morning I got this error. "The following expansions failed to load: Breaking Ground: Expansion version [1.7.0] Isn't a valid version that can be loaded! Minimum [1.7.1] Maximum [1.7.1]." Do you have any idea what this error might mean. Thank you again for all the help with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand This is the name of the Making History install file: KSP-Making_History_Expansion-en-us-1.12.1.exe I only had access to KSP1 + Making History. What is the name of the Breaking Ground one? If its got 1.7.0 in it, then its the wrong version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacaCaver775 Posted January 8 Author Share Posted January 8 Then that means that Private division must have uploaded the wrong version. Great. Ill just have to wait for my ticket. Thank you for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shuggaloaf Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Also picking this back up after a few years and getting the same issue. So you're not alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunlitZelkova Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I had this same issue. Glad it got reported, hoping it is fixed soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anth Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 @MacaCaver775 @SunlitZelkova Can you do me a favor and redownload KSP1 + the DLCs, install and run to confirm they are working? KSP1 has been fixed. But I would like a confirmation that the DLC's still install and run in game, then I can do one more announcement of the fixes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunlitZelkova Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 @Anth Install worked just fine for both DLCs, and the main game did not have the build number error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abcmatteo Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Hi all, I am having an entirely different issue with the new downloads, my game doesn't even run anymore, when I launch it it has a black screen with the progress bar half full, but it stays there indefinitely, I may try to leave it overnight and see if it ever launches fully and it's just a loading screen issue but it doesn't seem to be. Im on OSX btw, I feel like it might be an issue with it being the portable download instead of the old installer but I deleted the installer file long ago. We'll see. If anyone knows or has heard of this issue before id appreciate any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
