Description

Hello everybody, this is my first bug, so I apologize if I do not include all required information at first, but I will do my best to include any additional requested information.

My system is Ubuntu GNOME and is fully updated with KSP being installed through Steam.

I can click the launch button from Steam, and it shows a black fullscreen window, but disappears after about 15 seconds. Any additional launches without a reboot will result in the same outcome, except it crashes faster. I started KSP.x86_64 through the terminal with the following output and the same black window that pops up when launching through Steam:

@cody@system ~/.s/s/c/Kerbal Space Program> ./KSP.x86_64
Set current directory to /home/cody/.steam/steamapps/common/Kerbal Space Program

I can attach any additional files and do any debugging needed if either are requested.

Hi codyswanson4, it's a known issue with AMD proprietary drivers on KSP 1.1, the workaround is to start KSP with the -force-gfx-direct Unity command line argument, in a terminal it would look like this.

~/path/to/your/KSP/install/KSP.x86_64 -force-gfx-direct
