thank you so much Kerbart!. I will look into it: First bullet - I did that Second bullet - I did not even have rss on the docking ship - dum-me ;-( and knew it extra dumb. "COM of the ship?" what is this, sorry?! Third bullet - Navyfish Docking Port - I have not heard of this {navball?!} Either way, I don't want to dock this massive fuel container manually... I spent four hours --- maybe I am lame, or not enough something to get it right. this is what is causing me to put the game away for several months, and shelf-it, but KSP is always in the back of my mind to find a reasonable solution, that is not manual.

Hi, I am sure many Kerbonaughts asked this question, and I resisted posting after searching for a solutions here and on the web - Part question and part statement. I have "Flown" my own ships to to Min, Mun, Duna and it satellite (can't remember its name), several times on Stock. I built a Kerbin space station and I am tired after four hours of unsuccessfully docking the fuel.. well, I am a math teacher and I need to plan lessons, and would like the rather "mundane" Flying left to auto pilot to prepare for my real life job, and love KSP to the heart, sorry to the die hards...... ANYWAY, sorry for boring you, but MJ is not successfully docking to a station wo MJ, but the fuel has MJ part. It is an AWESOME mod! but it fails in the last few meters. Like the control from here to dock to here is ignored and it seems to want to dock to some center of mass, or something. I believe I have the correct updates, and I only run MJ and KER. Is there something I am missing (of course, i know our guys covered everything in the forums) sorry my question is mundane. But your expertise is welcomed :-) dorky smiley. \ Btw, I played for an entire summer wanting to get my Math students into this game but I think my pc was not up to the specs, but now my mac 15 is capable, and I want to introduce KSP in the classroom to my Chinese students as an alternative to the junk they play and as a Math/Sciecne/Learning tool. If you need my OS conditions I can provide. OR just point me to a link and I can read it first. Thanks for you time. thanks, spacejohn (teacherjohmath) PS. I admire this program immensely! An understatement. Keep up the great work. I read the lead programmer move on... No worries, I hope you guys are great. I am not blowing sunshine. But so many winners, and (maybe me too) but its a great undertaking none the less. :-) supper happy this game exists. Btw, I don't mind playing stock, but the mods are very intriguing. I did not not see a MAC install for CKAN, is there one?!

Hi Sal-vager, Rune, and Targa, The clean boot did not solve the issue. The game still crashed. It flies a simple orbiter, but not the Scott Manley Duna Rover, nor the Space plane, at least those two. The graphics settings at zero, the recommendations in the general support forms applied, and the clean boot. Still crashes. Load the ship, launch, revert to pad or VAB, and the game crashes. Game details - Logs, DxDiag, saves and ships: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/6d3sehdwtqmp68a/AAA0JD_-Jj4w71NYFXrFD1v9a?dl=0 @ Targa, I understand, you explained it well. Thank you. I only load Scott's ships, launch, revert and a crash. I have played the game for entire days (teacher holiday), for weeks with game crashes, and restarting. There comes a time when efficiency and frustration outweigh the fun and educational benefit, unfortunately. This is an awesome game - One last time, I may delete all KSP files, reinstall from steam and play a new game from scratch. If this does not work, I will not have any more time to introduce this to my Math students in a few weeks. I will be too busy, and dealing with game instability, on my end or KSP, or otherwise, won't matter, its all dark matter - unseen, but there, and indirectly detectable.

Hi Sal_vager, and Rune, First of all, I really appreciate all your time and effort to respond for help. I will try this. Although, note... I don't have an issue with crashing with other space ships either. Unless they have lots of parts or are a bit complicated. When it crashes, the screen sometimes makes it to the hanger, but the Kerbals inside are not moving, and then the crash. Note I have not had any crashes, all the way through Scott Manley's videos, until the Duna Rover, and Space Plane missions. I never had any crashes before this. Even now, I don't have crashes with simple ships. I can build a Kerbal orbiter now, and it does not crash either system on revert launch. I thought it was a ship problem because it was built on it and I transferred the saved files to the 64bit sys. Hence, I built a duplicate of the ship in the 64 bit sys, but it still crashed. Maybe its the ship? Complicated ships with many parts do crash. No crashes with simple ships. The only ship that is crashes for me, is the Scott Manley's Duna Rover, and Space Plane Mission Ships, from You Tube. I figured his were bullet proof designs. My new system is fresh, as it was just reformatted prior to the crashes, and only has Win8.1, Office, a VPN as I work in China, and Norton running. It was in the shop, at that time, the 32 bit sys was cashing Scott's Duna Rover. When the 64 bit came out of the shop it has higher specs - powerful - and would eliminate the crashes. I don't mind deleting KSP and reinstalling from scratch all the science if it would solve the problem. I am at a loss now, now I know, I don't know anything. It is all vague now. I will try a clean boot. Thank you for replying. Spacejohn

Hi, I previously posted the same issue. Adding to this thread because I have the same problem, and I am searching the forum for a solution. The game crashes when Revert to launch pad, or to KSC. I have made the recommended changes, and all the others in the forum. Have you found a solution yet? or has the issue disappeared? Please share. I have been grounded for weeks. Thanks https://www.dropbox.com/sh/6d3sehdwt...FXrFD1v9a?dl=0

Hi KSP Support, This is a new issue, but related to another current unresolved issue posted here in "unmodded" 28/07/15. The new issue: I uninstalled KSP, then re-downloaded it from Steam, working to resolve a crashing issue, which Sal_vager was working on. Anyway, after uninstall, all the game settings are preserved, including all the crash and ship files, everything. As if it didn't uninstall. It appears Steam kept everything. I may manually delete all KSP files, or uninstall/reinstall a second time. Despite all this, the primary underlying issue is: I can not revert back to the Launch Pad or KSC without the game crashing. I think I have made all the system modifications recommended by KSP Support and forums, but still the issue persists. I am bummed because I know there are others who are having a great time playing this game without issues. Is there something else I overlooked? The log files look like they indicate the same error. Please advise. I really miss playing this great game! And I want to recommend it to my Mathematics students. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Sal_vager, I appreciate all you help so far. One more thing... I have installed more RAM for 8GB total, installed updated driver, and minimum rendering and graphics on everything. It still, ONLY crashes on Reverting the launch/KSC - game play is fine. I am a high school Mathematics teacher at an international school in China. I would like to introduce KSP to all my students over her. KSP has some real Math and Science applications that we could use on certain lessons with my Chinese students. We only need to get it to figure out why it is only crashing on revert. I am overlooking something, but cant figure it out by myself. Would please take a closer look one last-time? I have sent updated dxdiag files. Or even remote access? https://www.dropbox.com/sh/6d3sehdwtqmp68a/AAA0JD_-Jj4w71NYFXrFD1v9a?dl=0 Note: the game plays perfectly fine all the way to landing on Duna, except when going reverting back to the space center with certain vehicles or planes, which are usually created on another PC then plllayed on another. But then, that may not be it because I re-created the Duna ship and rover again, from scratch on the same PC, which I have attached the new DxDiag files, and KSP saves - and it still crashes. The ship is Scott's Duna Rover or Ike core and rover save ships. I don't play any other games except Civilization V with over 3000 hours - Now my new possible new favorite is KSP! Only if.. Please help, if possible. Thank you, Teacher John

The driver update and texture quality have not prevented crashes. I am not sure, but could the same games saves, from my two different systems (32bit and 64bit) be an issue? It never used to crash on my 64bit. I am just searching for solution. I used to play for hours with the crashes and reloading the game on my 32bit, but now the 64bit crashes too. Hence I am calling out to anyone with an familiarity with this type of issue. Thanks again for getting back to me.

Hi Sal_vager, Thank you so much for getting back to me. I will update the driver now. I had already turned down the texture quality to a minimum as you had recommended to another poster. I am hoping the video driver is it. Will get back to you with the results shortly. Thanks again.

KSP Crashes on Reverting launch, or to tracking station, or space center. This issue appears frequently in the forums. Although I have not found a solution, or I am implementing the recommendations incorrectly, or missing something altogether. Thanks for reading the KSP Version: V1.0.4.861 build id = 00861 2015.06.23 at 17:19:17 CEST Branch: master Purchased via Steam Install is clean Attached: crash folder, save folder, and screen shots Details: KSP Crashes on reverting launch, or to tracking station, or space center. Both my PC’s one 32bit Win7, and another 64bit Win 8.1 OS, Nvida Geforce840M, i5 2.6GHz., are now having the same crashing issue. I have received an automated response from KSP Support on the 11th July. I have read and made the KSP support recommended changes at: https://kerbalspaceprogram.com/en/?page_id=19 http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/92228-Known-Issues-Self-Help 1) Made the changes to the 32bit PC dual core sys using the process affinity, although MS won’t allow me to make changes to DEP. I have put KSP in another drive away from C: programs. Actually it was never there. Changed the read only file (although it keeps re-checking itself when I go back to confirm the changes), even though the computer visually made some process change. 2) KSP is now crashing on my 64bit system, with one i5core. 4RAM, and graphics card. My 64bit sys has been reformatted, OS, and minimal programs reinstalled. 3) I am using and interchanging some of the old save files between the two pcs, maybe persistence files too, depending on which pc I use. 4) Note that it appears to only crash on more complicated designs, or something with the type of saved file being loaded. Not really sure, but I have read many posts in the KSP Forums to resolve this issue, looking for viable solution. Thanks for your time and help. spacejohn Crash details, save folder, Sys, jpg https://www.dropbox.com/sh/0pjh4ui6c9tushs/AACNoGAJoQMUuvcxm1gzdRa3a?dl=0
