# Kerbal Space Program

Since version 0.19, Kerbal Space Program includes a native Linux version. However, only Ubuntu 12.04 is officialy supported, so it may not work on Arch Linux out of the box.

## Known issues

### Game never progresses past initial loading

To fix this, set:

    LC_ALL=C

This is also relevant if you rocket's parts do not connect.

### No text display

The game requires Arial and Arial Black fonts, provided in the ttf-ms-fonts AUR package.

### Graphics flickering when using primusrun

Run with PRIMUS_SYNC=2 (but you will get reduced frame rate this way)

### Game crashes when accessing settings or saves on 64 bit systems on Steam

In the properties for Kerbal Space program, set a launch option of:

    LC_ALL=C %command%_64

### Game has garbled graphics when running on x86_64 with all lib32 drivers installed

Steam launches the KSP.x86 executable vs the KSP.x86_64 executable. Navigate to

    /home/$USER/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Kerbal\ Space\ Program/

Launch with

    ./KSP.x86_64

Alternatively, to launch it from steam, set the following launch option:

     %command%_64

### No audio on 64-bit systems

Run the 64-bit Executable.

Steam launches the KSP.x86 executable vs the KSP.x86_64 executable. Navigate to

    /home/$USER/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Kerbal\ Space\ Program/

Launch with

    ./KSP.x86_64

Or you can simply right click on Kerbal Space Program on your game list, click on Properties, click on SET LAUNCH OPTIONS, then add this:

    LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" LC_ALL=C %command%_64
