1.0.3 Catastrophe!

[PolybiusNightmare]

It was an epic albeit exceedingly ambitious mission. The top 3 most experienced Kerbals headed for Duna on a return mission utilizing resource drilling and harvesting. Alas, the Kerbin launch phase used more fuel than expected and the refueling stop at Minmus ended in a crash. The craft was a write off but our heroes survived. The rescue mission was a going smoothly. The heroes boarded the hitchiker pod headed home ready for another attempt, then suddenly 1.0.3 was released. When I went to load my game the craft was all glitched. I could not control the craft or access my crew. The command module is glitchy and offset from the rest of the craft. Please help! I need to rescue this crew!

Hi PolybiusNightmare, please see the support stickies and upload your game logs and save files to dropbox

Argh, again with the bugs. Try this.

Recon we could sticky this somewhere?

[PolybiusNightmare]

Thanks guys! I'll try those fixes when I get a chance. Sorry for the over-dramatized narrative!

Sounds like the bug that 1.0.4 fixes anyway, and drama is not a prob when it's entertaining

1.0.3 is giving me a huge sad because my Laythe-and-back spaceplane, of which I had a fleet of four half way to Jool via a crazy Eve-Kerbin-Kerbn multi-assist trajectory, is now totally broken in the new aero model. It flies like a brick, and other than invoking System Restore there's nothing I can do to get all that mind-boggling amount of productively wasted time back. WAAAHHHH!

....Also too I can't seem to make orbit now with anywhere near the same amount of fuel, even if I change the design to adapt to the new regime. In 1.0.2 I was getting a 30% payload fraction in just propellant on a really good ascent, and the best I've done so far in 1.0.3 is maybe 24%. Back to the #$%&! drawing Board....
