I had a bit of difficulty getting the Linux build to work for me, so here's some info on that, in case others have the same sort of issue: When running the client, I got a black screen, and then a hang at 0% CPU utilization. The window didn't respond to the "close" button, but it did respond to kill signals (including ctrl-c when run from command line). I was able to fix the issue by adding the '-force-glcore33' command line option. It might also be worth trying '-force-glcore' (which didn't work for me). Note that it's a *single* leading dash; that tripped me up at first. The client did take a few seconds to do anything visually, but CPU utilization spiked immediately. More details might be found in the following Reddit thread about Kerbal Space Program (which is where I got the -force-glcore33 flag from): https://www.reddit.com/r/KerbalSpaceProgram/comments/4h4doo/the_state_of_ksp_11_on_linux/ System details: 64-bit client, 64-bit Ubuntu 14.04 install, AMD discrete GPU and an integrated GPU.
