Kerbal Space Program V1.12.4-gog · Must Read
So fire up that old save. Build that ridiculous Eve ascent vehicle with inflatable heat shields and anxiety. The Kraken is patient. And on GOG, it has no DRM to hide behind. Ready to lose another 300 hours? Your boosters are waiting.
Here’s why. Version 1.12.4 isn’t just another patch. It’s the last major release before KSP2’s troubled development stole the spotlight.
