Description

The game is unplayable if I don't set my system's LANG variable to the default value.

Environment:
  • Debian 3.10.1-1
  • LANG variable is set to de_DE.UTF-8
  • KSP 0.21
  • no Steam
  • no mods etc., fresh download
The following things happen:
  • Parts in the VAB can not be connected, the "green balls" are gone.
  • Predefined rockets can be opened in the VAB, but they are invisible.
  • Predefined rockets can be put on the launchpad, but they seem to be put somewhere in space.
  • The camera control is way too sensitive.
Workaround:
  • Launching the game with LANG=C
    If this doesn't happen on the first run, on the second "correct" run all settings are messed up (especially the camera control) and the mission timer is completely off.

Notes:
By digging around in the bugtracker I found the issues #427 and #504 which seem to describe a similar situation from version 0.19, but now there seem to be even more problems.

KSP no longer relies on the systems locale for floating point number delimiters in 1028.
