Why is KSP 1 Getting updated now???
Are these jerks trying to break mod support or something? After a year plus of no updates why now? I'm not giving these jerks another dime.

KSP 1 is made by a different developer, has nothing to do with KSP 2.

WRONG, why comment when you don't know what you are talking about? It appears you even don't play KSP1? If you did you would see the Private Division launcher...

Appears to be literally just a launcher update.

But you know, anything or nothing proves supervillainy once you've already decided that's where you stand.

Private Division are a publisher, not a developer. KSP 1 was made by Squad, KSP 2 was made by Intercept Games (previously Star Theory).

Well, you know... a launcher is usually a publisher thing, while actual game development is done by different team. In this case KSP1 and KSP2 do not have the same team working on the game.
Private Division only bought the rights to KSP to cash in on KSP2 hype. Then they put a dev team that is clearly over their head in place.

Firstly, KSP was made by Squad, they sold it.
Squad (the developer) is gone, they no longer develop games. The asset is now owned by Take Two / Private Division and there is no other developer involved.

Secondly, Intercept Games was not previously Star Theory. This is a bit more confusing story, but suffice to say, Star Theory was a different company and is now defunct.

Look at the patch notes, it's just a launcher update.

If KSP1 is still version 1.12.5 then there was no update. :KOh:

there was an update although it seems to be entirely about the launcher, i'm guessing not enough people signed up to a Private Division account through KSP2 so now they are trying to push it through KSP1

Cant really speak much towards the previous statements besides I have played KSP1 for years by grabbing the download/update directly from their website (Early buyer) have 1000s of hours on it that didnt get carried over to steam. disclaimer, I havent grabbed an update for KSP1 outside of steam for a bit.. Did purchase it for steam to help donate tho. Once apon a time, I downloaded the files for standalone install (Zip file). Could literally put it on a flash drive and execute it on any system. Was nice. No launcher

That patch came out two months ago before KSP2 launched, and it didn't break any mods.

Also in case you're not aware, KSP1 is DRM free (you can run it from the .exe without Steam) and you can play any old version from the beta's in game properties. So mod support has never been and never will be broken.

I'm curious, did KSP2 take the same approach? Can it be run without Steam?

Oh cool, it's rare for any game dev to allow that these days. That certainly deserves praise.

You can also use Ckan not only is it a very nice mod manager but also launches the game directly
