Career Tanked on Update?

[TyroneAlfonso]

I booted up this morning to play my career.  All my saved ships had the "contains locked of invalid parts" message and nearly all of my parts list was greyed out.  They have been unlocked with science but suddenly all need be be researched again.  Not sure how many kerbucks it would cost since there is a lot of researching to do but my career is tanked if this doesn't get fixed.

Is this a problem with the update or is it just me?

Module manager requires an update. If your modded parts require MM then they will not work until you've updated Module Manager.

On a side note, never mod your "native" download. Always use that as a quarantine version. Instead, make a copy, mod that one and play career from there. That insulates you against updates that break things.

Me? You must have quoted the wrong dude!

I'll have to do that from now on (once I get this fixed).

I updated MM before playing via CKAN.  I was thinking this may have been the cause...

Eh, we all make mistakes.  Sometimes we quote the wrong person, sometimes we accidentally put wisdom into our posts

..................nvm.

For some reason, steam DIDN'T update the game, it just queued the download but didn't go through with it for whatever reason.  I'm running KSP 1.1 with MM 1.2.  I will have to see if it works post update but I'm sure it will be fine. 

Thanks for the replies though.  Glad it wasn't a widespread issue.

Make that copy while you have the chance!
