Description

Theory: Something was done to the steam side of things by Squad/Intercept Games in preparation of 1.12.4 in the last week or so.

Problem:

Some people have steam trying to start KSP.app when on PC instead of KSP_x64.exe

Details:

One person said their version was 1.11.1 and the other was 1.12.3

Work Arounds:

  1. 1 person fixed it by uninstalling steam and reinstalling however this is in my mind an extreme way to fix it.
  2. I gave them instructions on how to use a shortcut to directly access the executable bypassing steam entirely and it worked.

Screenshots:
These are from 2 people on KSP reddit discord who had the problem. There were three people in total that complained of this issue out of the blue within the same few days)

The link shows an update on the 24th and a screenshot of the update. This I suspect could be where the problem started.
