KSP stuck loading [FIXED]

[Vesuvius]

Issue has been fixed, thanks to everyone who helped and/or gave suggestions, issue was one of the planet mods.


KSP keeps getting stuck at the very end of the loading with the black screen and the planets orbiting Kerbol.
Version is 1.12.5
Every time I validate the files, I get: "1 files failed to validate and will be reacquired"
Heres a link of what it looks like:

The planets do still orbit.

Try to start the game directly from the x_64 file in the folder.

This will bypass steam and the launcher and let you know if the issue is with that or not.

[GunsForBucks]

Also check video drivers for updates. Game will pause there while it finishes loading up.

[DEAD MEAT]

For me, it's because I gotta make stuff with 80 million parts on em. Eventually if I can't jam up the game like that it seems to be because I have 44 thousand files accosted with the creation editor especially the sub-assembly feature.
I found out the hard way, if you have some game saves that won't load or are failing to reliably reload craft without "loosing" parts BEFORE you give up and delete and redo ...
Try doing some house cleaning within the editor, then validate within STEAM, and retry.

[Vesuvius]

Thank you @DEAD MEAT and @GunsForBucks but neither worked, if you have other ideas, please tell me. Thank you!

If you are hearing music, the game has loaded to the start menu. (Even though you *MAY* not see it)

If you have the LOADING image in the lower right of the screen the game has made it through loading assets, it's now trying to run the main menu.

The problem is that the game uses a 3D view (just like when the game is playing) for the background of the menu and it may be having problems loading any graphics mods that you are installing.

Try <ALT> F12 and see if the debug menu shows, check for errors.

There are some mods that modify the graphics of the start menu.
Most planet packs replace the start menu with their planets graphics.
If you also have KAS/KIS installed it will try to add backpacks and stuff to the backs of the start menus Kerbals.

KAS/KIS and some other mod trying to change the start menus graphics usually ends up giving me a black screen with music.

If you wait for more then 15 minutes, it's died (*SOME* mods do take up to 15 minutes to allow access to the main menu because of crap they are doing in the background.)

Try unloading/uninstalling any graphics mods (Planet packs, clouds, planet shine & Kis/Kas) and testing a load to main menu.

If you get there then try reinstalling mods one at a time until it crashes again, to find the bad one.

Also run task manager and make sure that you are not running out of ram.

No more so than anything else on your computer.

[Manwith Noname]

If you have problems with lots of files regularly becoming corrupt (as in actually corrupt and non functioning) then you need to look in to that. It's not normal for it to happen with any regularity. The verify function in Steam isn't strictly finding corrupt files, it's finding files that do not match those on the server and that can also be because they have been changed intentionally. It doesn't mean they are corrupt.

[Manwith Noname]

I didn't say people should not check things, I'm just saying corruption has a specfic meaning that is misleading in this case. Mostly people have problems with compatibility and failing to follow correct (un)install procedures.

.....anywho...

All these mods look suspiciously like "planet packs" and unless there has been significant changes to Kopernicus and the handling of multiple star systems having all these installed alongside each other could cause serious problems if they are not designed to do so.

Edit: Additionally, go to the KSP install folder and read the KSP.log file. What was the game doing when it stopped?
