Kraken on Eve

[SelectHalfling0]

Ugh. After multiple tries every rover I put on eve succumbs, after almost an hour of driving, to the kraken (black screen, no altitude). It only happens after doing science experiments (the whole point of my rovers going to eve). Does anyone have any suggestions on how to stop this?

 

Correction: the kraken strikes no matter what after loading the rover (give or take 20 seconds)

 

This is the log, where I assume the kraken attacks:

What mods do you have? If you have mods, then that's almost definitely the cause.

[SelectHalfling0]

I have kerbal alarm clock and waypoint manager... I've never had any problems with them and I don't think they change the game radically enough to cause problems.

I can confirm it is unrelated to mods. Looks like another bug strikes again in full release.

The full log and the save file would be required as an absolute minimum to reproduce this issue @SelectHalfling0, please upload them somewhere

Actually after doing a series of really complex guesswork, I seem to have avoided the kraken (I ran all the science experiments, quicksaved, kraken struck, reverted, then drove in 2 circles and the kraken was gone).

 

Gonna have to write that down somewhere as the kraken appeasement ritual.
