I've read that there can be a bug about the contract not recognizing the location due to the altitude being mistakenly placed under the surface. Does this look like it?

please watch the Video.  im not sure it's on or under surface

How to fix this bug?

[mystik]

This is a recent bug due to poor programming and even worse QA testing with nobody actually checking the code before giving the OK.

 

Anyways, the problem is the contract and rover data not matching the id.

To correct this you will need to open the sfs file with a text editor. *Make a backup and blah blah blah, your own risk, I'm not your momma, life is hard disclaimer.*

Step 1: Save the game and make the save something obvious like stupid_bug_because_squad_cant_test_properly

Step 2: Go to the Tracking Station and write down the rover name (mine was QWD-C0) and the contract company just in case you have multiple contracts of the same type

Step 3: Close the game

Step 4: Open the save file with notepad or whatever editor you have

Step 5: Search for the rover name in the file

Step 6: Copy the value from "persistentid" (in my case it was 1995780567 but your value might be different)

Step 7: Search for "roverVslId" and replace the values (there are two entries) with the one you just copied (VERIFY THE COMPANY NAME IF YOU HAVE MORE OF THE SAME TYPE OF CONTRACT)

Step 8: Copy the value from "persistentid" (eg. 1995780567) over the existing values under "roverVslId" for both entries.

Step 9: Save

 

When you load the game, switch to the rover, the contract finishes provided that you are at the right coordinates.

The screenshots show the before and after values, so that it is easier to follow along because watching and searching endless rows of code is something devs get payed for and we shouldn't have to do to have a working product that we payed for, but then again look at the unsolved bugs in the bugtracker and you will see exactly the level of QA performed. None. If the QA level was a thruster it wouldn't even get off Gilly. Yeah, I said it, I stand by it. This isn't some weird bug that requires some specific steps to happen. No, this is a zero level bug, a out of the box, just play the game and you will see it. Which is why I am so annoyed after spending hours trying to fix something someone was payed to do but couldn't be bothered to do.

 

You can link this to the KSP Bugtracker. I gave up on submitting bugs there because they never check them. I had a bug submitted for a year an nobody touched it so I can't be bothered to waste time.

I had a similar issue with an "attach antenna to satellite" contract. Since I know a good SFS editor, the problem was easily fixed 

[Mythos]

I included a check and automatic repair for problems like this in my KML save editor.
