LT-05 Micro Landing Strut explode on touchdown

[Serpens Solidus]

So this happened during my very first Mun landing in 1.1.2:

I tried to land in several different places, but it kept going boom.

Hi @Serpens Solidus, your Physics.cfg may be old, please move it out of the KSP folder so KSP makes a new one.

I have the Same problem, and the physics.cfg didn't change anything. Is there anything else that could be causing this issue?

I reinstalled the entire game, and the issue is gone. It's probably caused by the patcher. I tested the other legs and wheels as well, and almost all of them caused ridiculous phantom forces upon contact, ripping everything apart.

@Moppers, can you try installing KSP from the store zip or installer, if it worked for @Serpens Solidus it might work for you.

I'm getting this problem as well when updating using the patcher. It's annoying to have to redownload the whole game every time a patch is released (especially now that it's double the size it used to be) but it seems the patcher cannot be trusted to do the job properly. Alas. Will report back once I've downloaded off the Store.

Edit: Problem seems resolved after overwriting my install with a full download of KSP 1.1.2 off the store. Looks like the patcher was indeed to blame.
