Trying to get started

[thu]

Hi!

I just grabbed a copy of KSP for Linux and so far had no luck whatsoever getting it to do anything.

I did get contracts (in fact I got them twice, active contracts are apparently not saved while the money they provide is;-), but whenever I try to build a rocket I can not make any two parts stick together:-/ Any idea what I might be doing wrong?

Best Regards,

Tobias

Hi Thu and welcome to the community

Try starting KSP from the command line with "LC_ALL=C ./KSP.x86" or "LC_ALL=C ./KSP.x86_64", and delete your settings file, there's an issue with Unity/KSP and some system languages.

*THANKS* sal_vager!

That was indeed the issue. It would be great if that could somehow get set by the steam client when starting kerbal space program... I am sure I won't be the last non-US person bitten by this.
