Feedback #5162
Windows and Linux have different revisions with different behavior (1.0.3.859 vs. 1.0.3.0)
Description
KSP Version: 1.0.3.0/1.0.3.859
What Happens: Linux loads 1.0.3.0, Windows loads 1.0.3.859
Mods / Add-Ons:
(KER, maybe others. Most mods were obsoleted under Linux with 1.0.3)
Steps to Replicate:
Start steam, then start KSP.
Result:
Wildly different behavior of parachutes (and entry/supersonic effects, but that might be driver issues).
In the forums a moderator was suggesting a solution that works under Linux for a problem that exists under windows
(http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/126293-Career-Mode-Start-Impossible-as-of-1-0-3-drag)
Fixes/Workarounds:
Presumably games work fine individually. Testing and communication are the issues.

The definitive source of the version can be determined from the BuildID.txt file in the KSP install folder.
eg 1.0.4
Windows
build id = 00861 2015.06.23 at 17:19:17 CEST Branch: master
Linux
build id = 00861 2015-06-23_10-19-10 Branch: master
As for the apparent differences between the platform versions, we are aware of an issue where Steam has not been updating physics.cfg properly. The workaround is to delete this file and run "Verify integrity of game cache" under game properties in Steam. Do not delete the file and let it regenerate when launching KSP, this will restore the incorrect values. In other words, ensure that physics.cfg in use is the copy from Steam or the zip file from the store.
