Game hangs up on loading

[Starman4308]

Hello,

KSP's been crashing, and I don't know why: I started it fine, quit by pressing the x-button (must've hit Z when entering something into KAC, causing engines to fire), and the next time I tried to boot, it's freezing up midway through loading. I think it might have to do with RealFuels or some mod using it, because I get error messages about that in the first lines of the log, but I did try uninstalling and reinstalling RF, the RF Stockalike config, and the associated TweakScale folder. I did at some point have two Module Manager DLLs (one got tucked away in a spot I didn't see), but I deleted the second copy, so that shouldn't be an issue.

I apologize about the mostly-raw dump of my Game Data folder; if anything crops up, I can provide version numbers, it's just a giant pain to manually do this for as many mods as I have.

OS: Linux x64

EDIT: Resolved. Probably due to a sloppy upgrade of Universal Storage core, compounded by mis-reinstallation of RealFuels. I'll be more careful extracting mods from now on.

Follow the instructions in the How to Get Support (READ FIRST) sticky to reinstall your mods. At a minimum, KAC and Universal Storage are installed incorrectly and in much the same way. It looks like US is causing the problem.

Might also poke NathanKell about adding another step to the mod installation instruction – US is one of the few that manages to break those rules, but only one mod (Module Manager) still has the version number visible when installed.

[NathanKell]

Poked.

What step should I add though? How does US break them?

[Master Tao]

When unzipped it gives a folder with the mod name (and version number), but no GameData folder anywhere inside. Everything that should be in GameData is one folder deep, not in the root of the zip, so it breaks rule 3:

If not, extract all the stuff in the root of the archive to (your KSP folder)/GameData/

[NathanKell]

Gotcha. Will tweak.

EDIT: Have tweaked.

Thanks for the help Master Tao. Probably was a borked mod installation.

I'm marking it as closed: while my career game is kinda messed up from having to re-install so many mods, that's not something which can be helped. Might as well start fresh with Paul Kingtiger's 64k distribution.

Hopefully I can salvage the .crafts for my Duna mission, though. I spent a crazy amount of time on those.
