Overly long loading time.

[Wyld Karde]

So to celebrate the release of 0.90 I decided to start fresh. I uninstalled the game through Steam and deleted it's folder to make sure all mod files were cleared out, then reinstalled the game. Upon launch it's taking forever to load. Looking at the loading screen and my hard drive activity it seems as though the game is loading a single file, pausing for a second or so, then loading the next file, and so on. Anyone have any ideas why this is happening or how to fix it?

I'm running 32-bit KSP 0.90 on an Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 under Windows 7 64 with 6GB of RAM and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 650.

If you're talking about more than 3-5 minutes to load the game it may be worth checking to see if you have any virtual network adapters installed, the most common one is called Hamachi. If you do have them, disable them before launching KSP.

It's usually what KasperVld said. But if you deleted everything, you might want to check your antivirus whitelist (or exceptions list) also.

No virtual network that I can find, and I've whitelisted ksp.exe. Still taking an age to load. Do you have any further suggestions?

[Supernovy]

As far as I know, the long loading times can occur with any unused network adapter, not just Hamachi.

If there's an ethernet (or anything else) adapter that's not currently being used for your internet connection, try disabling those too.

After a closer look, it turns out it was Hamachi. Slippery li'l pain in the main thruster was hiding away until I ran a full uninstall on the program. KSP's loading fine now. So thanks everyone, and sorry I didn't catch it when it was first suggested.
