Bug Report: ArgumentException: An element with the same key already exists in the dictionary

[James3838]

Not sure if this is from KSP or MOD (most mods I use log with tag so guessing KSP):

I have a similar error on my KSP.log when I load a 1.1.2 game in my 1.1.3 installation.

The games loads almost fine but all my past contracts (finished and active) are removed.

I really don't know which mod is causing this, but this is a tough one: if I start removing mods to find out which is causing this I will also start losing ships that require those mods.

Anyone else had this problem?

Eventually I will have to remove mods and start my game again and again, but I prefer to ask first in case someone else has done this already and can help me narrowing the problem (I'm talking of about 200 mods running)

I just encountered this today with 1.2, and have started to diagnose it.

 

In a totally stock game it's fine, but adding in my mods breaks it - the weird thing is that it was working fine this morning, and all of a sudden it broke on me.

I can go into the admin building, or the cheat menu and accept a contract, but when I enter the VAB or load a new game - poof.  Gone.  I have not checked all of the buildings.

I have done some further digging, and like the UI flickering issue, I've seen in game and referenced in the forums, this appears to be something related to the stock game, but triggered by mods, most likely volume of parts.

Scenario:

1.2 with the following mods installed, all mods are up to date relative to themselves.

*If* I load the game (1.2 x64), with said mod list, but with the KSP 1.1.3 compatible release of the @Nertea suite, things function as expected.

*If* I load the game (1.2 x64), with said mod list, but without the 1.2 compatible release of the Nertea suite, things function as expected.

*If* load the game (1.2 x64), with *only* the 1.2 compatible release of the Nertea suite, and it’s requirements, things function as expected.

*If* load the game (1.2 x64), with all mods listed above, but with the 1.2 compatible release of the Nertea suite, things do not function as expected.

I observe the following issues:

When you load a game, all active, offered, and your completed contract history reset.

When you enter the VAB, all active, offered, and your completed contract history reset.

This is the error message logged when the contract history is reset:

We’d have to see what nertea changed in this release, but having parsed his files, I’m guessing a lot more tags or some such – resulting in an overload of something somewhere.

The bug tracker appears down at the moment otherwise this would be in there.

Edit: Figures that now I go and throw all the mods back together, fire things up and it's behaving normally.  SMH.  I'll play around with it some more if no one else sees anything related to this, or if it crops up some more.

 

Edit 2: There it is again.  It's definitely a function of how many parts are displayed in the VAB.  Toppled tech tree = sorry.  Fresh, super low tech game, no issues.

[Blastard]

can confirm, this happened to my save after i installed nertea's mods

[lokodehortaleza]

Edit: In my case it's a bug with Cryogenic Tanks mod, followed the modder's instructions, deleted some plugins, and now contracts are working 100%.

 

 

Confirm, it's happening to me too. In my case, it's when I install Cryogenic Tanks & Kerbal Atomics. No need to have many parts unlocked in the tech tree, if I install these mods and start a new Career, accepted contracts will immediately dissappear when going into VAB, SPH, or launch pad.

I remove these two mods and contracts are fine again. I don't get disappeared contracts back, but new ones I accept no longer disappear.
