Mission button missing

[Cochise17]

Hi! I installed the latest version of the game today. Had to delete the old Mechjeb 2 folder, and reinstalled it (the mod didn't work until I reinstalled it).

Now the button which shows what missions I'm working on is missing.

Was the button removed in the last update, or did I press a button without knowing which conseals it?

On the last version, I could choose (accept) a mission, and then go to Vehicle Assembly Building. Here I could see what the mission was, and build my rocket accordingly.

I could also see the mission button ingame (during a mission).

Needed more input

A screenshot would probably be useful here. I assume you mean the button to display the contracts? Are you sure you are doing a career mode game, and not science or sandbox mode?

[Cochise17]

Thank you for answering, bewing.

Yes, I mean the button to display the contracts.

This is what I see on my screen during a mission:

I even started a new Career to see if anything changed. It didn't.

I have not heard of anything like that to hide that button except non-career mode. My guess is you might have some bad mods, especially you mentioned "Old MJ" - so potentially there might be some "Old other things" that would have caused the problem.

This happened to me once, but a restart cleared it up. Haven't had the problem since.

Finally - I solved it!

I tried restarting my pc (laptop). Didn't help. Installed CKAN. Didn't help either. Tried reinstalling MechJeb 2 after checking which version I had downloaded, thinking maybe this was a version made before the last KSP update. I'm using last version MJ2. No joy.

I then copied my save files, and opened Steam to reinstall KSP.

In Steam I found that I have two possibilities when launching the game: The standard Launch game procedure, or -by pressing RMB I was able to choose the "Launch KSP (64-bit)".

So, by launching the 64-bit version of the game everything works! Yey! Happy Kerbal here!

Thanks for the help, guys!

Huh. Never saw that bug in Steam. I always run the KSP_64.exe out of my directory. During beta, there were several bugs that would sometimes happen if you launched via Steam, rather than direct -- so I got in the habit of never using the Steam launcher.

[bewing]

Come to think of it -- would you do us all a favor? Try running the 32 bit version out of your directory (KSP.exe) -- and see if it has the same contract button bug?

[Cochise17]

Good idea!

The KSP.exe has the contract button bug.

When I use the KSP_x64 everything works fine.

I can also launch the game using Launcher in my directory - and everything is in working order.

Now we just need to get somebody who can confirm it, and then post it in the bugtracker.

I'm playing x64 and have this bug.

Please only report the bug if you can reproduce it in a stock install with stock saves, thank you.

If you can only reproduce this with mods please try to find which mod is causing it and contact the modder.
