I can't fully say this is confirmed, however, I see the same behavior when just launching the game -- it's the version I'm using for development, so close to vanilla.

I see the same things described here, but from a different action.

  • Severity changed from Critical to Normal

I'm dropping the priority down to normal for this issue. Though it is clearly an issue for you, it is not widespread and so shouldn't be labelled as critical. It may be related to #1156.

As for jejacks0n, the bugtracker is only for bugs present in purely stock installs. Squad is unable to bugfix issues arising in any installs using any mods as the product in use is not that which was released. The issue needs to be reproduced in a pure stock install

#4 Updated by jejacks0n over 11 years ago

Confirmed in stock. Notice that we have the same system more or less.

I only really see it because I'm building/testing a plugin often, but it happens in complete stock install as well. I agree, I wouldn't consider this critical.

#5 Updated by sherkaner over 11 years ago

I'm a new user having precisely the same problem, reproducible in precisely the way described in the original bug report. Oddly even my system specifications are absolutely identical to those in the original report. I've only installed KSP a couple of days ago via Steam and I've installed no mods. I only had one save file, with virtually no activity in it. First, loading this file caused the total system freeze at the loading screen. I then tried deleting the save file and creating a new one, and again I experienced the freeze at the loading screen. Because this is such a fresh, unmodded install, I have to guess that this is a more widespread problem than you may think. I really hope the priority on this can be upgraded to critical.

Update: running KSP from terminal with the command

LC_ALL=C ~/Library/Application\ Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/Kerbal\ Space\ Program/KSP.app/Contents/MacOS/Kerbal\ Space\ Program

the game works without freezes.

LC_ALL=C is no longer required as KSP does not use locale specific delimiters anymore.

Please retest and let us know if this fixed loading for you.

Closing this report out for now. If you find it is still occuring in the latest version of KSP please open a new report (and this one can be linked to it.) For best results, the wiki contains really useful info for when creating a report http://bugs.kerbalspaceprogram.com/projects/ksp/wiki.

You can also ask questions about the bug cleanup in the forum here: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/143980-time-to-clean-up-the-bug-tracker/ and tag @TriggerAu to get my attention
