0.25 absolutely unplayable - OSX 10.9.5

[progressiveMonkey]

Hi guys,

As the title says, my version of KSP is absolutely unplayable since I updated it. I removed all mods (physically removed their data) and it didn't change anything. A quick summary:

• VAB, missions etc work as far as I could see
  
• Unable to come back from tracking station, neither by clicking on the button nor by hitting "esc"
  
• Unable to launch a flight. I just get a screen with what may or may not be the curved outside surface of kerbin, an unidentified object in the center of the screen, and the whole view moving slowly to the right side. No buttons have an effect, esc brings the menu which allows for everything except going back to the space center
  

It is the same whether I start a new game or load a previous save.

Am I the only one with this problem?

Try re-intalling it. you likely deleted the Squad and NASAmission folders from gamedata. If not, a re-install will still probably fix it. Also, it's 0.25.

My bad, 0.25 and not 0.26. However no, I did not delete squad and nasamission, and I had already tried launching the game before removing the mods with the same results. Will try to re-install, but I'm still curious as to whether I'm the only one with this

I had it. The problem was in my mod's config file, I screwed up something. I just reset my mod's config file and then all parts came back and everything came back normal. Try reinstalling KSP. You probably tinkered with the part's config files.

Did a complete re-install: no changes. Here is what I see when I go to the launch pad.

As Steve Kerbin from Kicrosoft would say "log files, log files, log files,log files, log files,"

Okay.... waited for a couple of days, re-reinstalled, and it works. Still curious about what the bug was...

Here's your problem: .26 DOES NOT EXIST. Did you try to get the software from some other place than the main site/steam? Or was that a typo?

Either way, I would re-install.

Maybe try reading the thread before replying? That was already answered as being a typo.

From the sound of everything above, I'd say 99.9% likely not a KSP bug at all. My guess is either bad KSP installation, or a rare bug that I've encountered with OSX where the graphics subsystem half dies (a problem with the kernel's Quartz module, if memory serves), simple desktop stuff continues to work and the machine seems like it's running ok, but advanced graphics either fail to operate or have strange breakage. In the case of that obscure OSX bug, rebooting usually fixes it.

I fixed the thread title, so you can all stop getting mad at each other about it.
