Full control over updates, and access to the previous version of the game. That's why I recommend to use the KSP store instead of Steam.
Therefore it's best to wait a few days after an update is released, and first check if other players are running into serious issues before updating oneself. Also, as we've seen with the game-breaking self-heating bug of 1.0.4, there are sometimes updates that are so broken, one cannot play them at all. Once you've opened a savegame in a newer version of KSP, it'll be a pain to make it loadable in an older version of the game again. It's not the question if an automatic update will break your savegame, it's more a question of when this will happen. This allows me to continue playing old modded versions until the mods are updated for the new version. Then I create the new Clean_ and Current_ copies (and other copies when appropriate mods are updated). When a new update is released I run steam, tell it to delete all game content and then reinstall it (this results in a full download rather than an update but it ensures you get a totally correct install). Then I copy that to create several different installs, Current_1.0.4 (my normal game), Dev_1.0.4 (an install specifically for mod development tweaked to allow debugging of mods in VS), RO_1.0.4 (an install for realism overhaul) etc. just after an update I create C:\KSP\Clean_1.0.4 (or whatever) which is a complete copy of the install. I copy the entire "Kerbal Space Program" folder from the steam folder into C:\KSP with a name that indicates the version number and purpose of the install, e.g. I bought the game via Steam but I haven't played it through steam for a long time (I originally bought 0.22 just before 0.23 was released and ran those via steam but once 0.23.5 was released I started running it separately). Haha ok its about even then, thanks for your input guys, ill probably use the direct one as i don’t always want to open steam or run it in offline mode, as it still interferes with the other comp if its running steam.Īs RIC said above, you don't have to run Steam at all in order to run KSP.
