The update broke my game: Kebral turn inactive when EVA

[Edited] Apparently only devs can change the bug priority now.

They dont do anything with your report because they are working with this report. As i said before; opening more reports for the same issue wont help. But even on the report their are working with the priority is on low...

Huh. Your definition of "working" must be different to mine, I don't see any developer commentary on there at all.
None on the other report either, but that's about what I've come to expect.

The duplicate was meant so I could report the bug with a higher priority. In my understanding, low priority would be something like small graphical or sound problems, not a gameplay gamestopping problem like this. But apparently, one can't set the priority while reporting the bug anymore, and I also can't delete my duplicate.
Another problem about this report you linked is that it specifies the PS4 version and also seems to report 3 different problems. While they might be linked to one another, I've only come to experience the latter one (EVA on ladder). I haven't had the edit parts in VAB problem.

Frankly, both those bug reports suck. They read like personal anecdotes rather than technical reports, and if there is a set of reproduction steps buried somewhere in there it's not exactly obvious.
#19511 is especially appalling - If you want people to read your stuff, at least use linebreaks and proper capitalisation. The return key exists for a reason.

There is a heap of information on the 'net WRT writing useful bug reports, and duplication is the least of concerns here...
But I don't have a console, so I'm not about to clean them up.

I guess it is, that the report is at 10% done seems to me that at least someone noticed that there is something wrong.

Ok, i understand. I didnt wanted to be rude i just looked up the bugtracker, all the reports for the same issue and then noticed your post here

It's odd that they set as low priority. I wonder if something is making Squad think it can be cured via the usual cache clearing trick?

 

Do they have a help desk email?

Perhaps it's because there isn't a clear reproduction step besides getting on the ladder which should be clear enough already?

No one seems to have any clear idea of what excatly leads to the problem, it just suddently happens. They might as well do personal anecdotes telling what's happening and what they were doing instead of nothing.

If a company is expecting high quality bug reports from the public they are barking up the wrong rocket. 

 

Software testing is a skill, not a common one either, compiling high quality reports is part of this

Mozilla started this trend 20 years ago.

Initially it kind of worked. The Internet was young, and usually 'populated' by higher skilled people due the costs. I used to pay 1usd per hour on a dial up connection at 5kb/s of Bandwidth (If it's not raining). Not exactly affordable, and not useful for the common Joe.

However, things changed. The Internet is now a commodity, available at low cost for anyone. This make things difficult as you can't rely on using internet access as a threshold for 'hiring' people.

On the other hand, you can reach a hell of more people, and a hell of more exposure than before.

It's still possible to accomplish such stunt. But you need new ways to do so.

Software Development is too. And I'm both by trade and by formation.

It's possible to get good results from the wild. But it's not cheaper neither easier. But can be good if you know how to do it.

Hint: Mozilla doesn't.

I found what is causing the problem:
The EVA error is caused when you transmit data wile in EVA mode. (Example: If you are in EVA, use the cursor and select an experiment, then pres transmit data). Your Kebral will switch to inactive. You will still abalible to control its ligh, and even to pilot your craft, but you could not control your EVA Kebral, or any other that you try to EVA after the glitch.

Have they fixed this yet? There has been 3 months already and the progress is still at 10%.

They are working on ee version with an unity upgrade 

 

I dont know if that also means a higher ksp version than1,2 but i wont expect any patches to the current ee version.

I think they mean the progress on the bug report that they filed, not on the actual KSP enhanced edition itself

If u look in the bugtracker, even issues that have been solved for ee havent been closed. and as i said i wont expect any updates/patches for the current version with the eva bug

I believe that most of, if not all, the bugs will be fixed in the upcoming version. Because a wait that's been like 6 months long is bound to have mega hype, and if they don't deliver then EE could become ruined
