Killer drag

I'm sure this was reported because the career is unplayable from the start with it (or may be I'm doing something terribly wrong?)

Conditions:

Stock game, x64 / x32, Version 1.1 build 1290. The very start of career. Vessel: mk1 command module, Rt-5 flea, a pair of winglets, stock chute.

What happened:

First launch. At 9000m out of fuel. Going down. Deploying the chute. Still gaining speed with predeployed chute. At 4000m it deploys fully but I'm still don't deccelerate and crash into water at 230 m/s.

Need to say that I've also reverted to launch a couple of times.

Screenshot. Note the altitude and the speed. The chute was fully deployed at 4000m and NOT from reentry but from a full stop at ~9000m.

Spoiler

May be I need more chutes? But there's nowhere to place them, unless I add a bunch of girders with chutes on them like apples on a tree.

Also I've experienced another bug: after splashing into water I EVAd Jeb and made EVA report while on the ladder. Then I've got in the pod but the spacesuit remained on the ladder and I couldn't do EVA again because of "The hatch is obstructed". But that was on modded game and I couldn't reproduce that in stock because of the above.

It sounds like you still have your Physics.cfg and Partdatabase.cfg from 1.0.5, there's a few differences.

If you delete these two files KSP will make new ones when you next start, this should  solve the issue.

Fully reinstaled the game and that solved the issues. Thanks.

One more question: on the game's start I've opted out of sending anonymous data and chose "Don't send my ip" but the game still wants to connect to kerbalspaceprogram.com via https every time. What is it?

I believe that is an update check (i.e. "is there an updated version of KSP").
