Did you make any manual changes to your game folder (i.e., not via CKAN)?

Multiple changes:

  • I have CKAN and KSP installed in two separate devices.
  • The GameData, CKAN, PluginData, Plugins, KSP_x64_Data, Ships and Saves folders are network shared from device A to device B
  • The files are shared to an account on device B, with read/write permissions given
  • All of the above files are setup as always available offline on device B
  • In device B's KSP root folder, there are a set of symlinks to the network shared files above, all named appropriately.
  • The idea is for me to be able to play on device A and B, with all changes syncing across devices.

Describe the bug

When starting CKAN, it runs through the first few steps and then stops at "Scanning for DLCs and manually installed modules..."

When running ksp, the window just stays blank with minimal resource usage.

Steps to reproduce

Share the Kerbal Space Program folder over network to a user on device B. Give read/write permissions.
on device B, KSP root folder, setup symlinks to the GameData, CKAN, PluginData, Plugins, KSP_x64_Data, Ships and Saves folders, replacing the actual folders that are in the KSP root
Run CKAN
Run KSP
