Hey all, A frustrating one for you. My 1.3.1 Career save has suddenly started misbehaving. KSP loads to the menu as usual but the persistent and renamed quicksaves do not load when 'resume' is selected, instead crashing the game. Even more frustratingly, there are no crash logs to try and narrow down the problem. KSP: 1.3.1 Windows 64bit Problem: Career save crashes on load. KSP initializes as normal, when selecting resume career save, the screen goes black, the gray animated loading tab in the bottom right appears and the planets rotate a little, then a windows error pops up ("something caused KSP_64 to stop working") and it crashes to desktop. Mods installed: Lots! But it has been working reliably for at least 2-3 weeks on an offline Laptop, nothing has been updated and steam is in offline mode. There are some outdated mods on the install but I've been using them with 1.3.1 since it came out with no issues. Reproduction steps: Reverting to a backup save works, but any saves made after this point refuse to load. The game works fine for as long as i want, but the saves made after the initial loading become dysfunctional. I have tried re-naming quicksaves to persistent and this also does not work. Removing all ship and sub-assembly files (not the folders themselves) doesnt seem to make any difference. Log: None generated So, my questions are - firstly is there any way to get it to generate a output log to try and track down the issue? Or any other tips or hints to track down the gremlins? Secondly, is there something on the last craft I was using that's causing the issue (a simple satellite round Ike, mostly stock with some Scansat, Karbonite, RLA and ProbePlus parts)? A mod causing chaos (I am going to start removing them one by one, but I'm not sure I'll have many crafts left after!)? Or, more depressingly, is their something deeper wrong with the savefile itself and I'm just going to have to start again? *cries* Anyhow, sorry that's not particularly illuminating. Thanks in advance for your attention. BF

Good morning, Firstly, thanks Blackrack, and everyone else who has contributed to this mod, it is simply amazing and you should be proud of how much better you have made the game look. However, I have a couple of minor graphics glitches that I have chased back to Scatterer I think. I don't think any of them are a problem with Scatterer itself, but could both be fixed by changing some settings in the Scatterer config menu... however, I am not sure which ones Firstly, I have a thin darker line alongside the right side of all my craft in Kerbins atmosphere, it looks like there is a band a couple of pixels wide where the Scatterer effects aren't implemented and un-modded Kerbin is showing through. This seems particularly noticeable over water, and seems to fade away by the time my crafts are in space. Frustratingly, it is not present in screenshots so my vague description is all I have. Secondly, the whitecap effect only shows when there is something behind it. If i have a Kerbal floating in the ocean, the whitecaps only appear overlaid on the parts of his body that are refracted and don't appear on water with nothing behind it. Neither of these glitches is game breaking for me and are more likely a result of my creaky old laptop. If you think they are worth looking into and not issues that can be solved with the right settings tweaks, I can sort out a fresh install and submit logs, but don't worry about it if you are busy, have bigger problems to solve or cant be bothered! Thanks again and happy xmas for those who celebrate it BF
