[Daveroski]

Nul Ref Exptn. when Right clicking on Large Docking Ring and selecting the option to activate staging.

It also makes the DV not work.

I cannot replicate this, so this requires a few more informations:

• Which game version?
• Is it an updated game from a previous game version, downgraded to a previous version or a clean install?
• Did you use any mods at any time on this install?
• Does it happen just on one craft or can you replicate it everytime?
• What does the craft looks like? Can you add a screenshot or a craft file?

It's the latest Steam update for my vanilla linux version. Standard game.

I verified the files with steam.

The DV details are there until I try to set that part for staging then it throws the exception and the DV detail for the vessel are no more.

If I had been using mods, I would have been posting in the wrong forum.

It happened on one craft. The Part was selected as the 'start' piece of the craft and so that made it the root.

I used to chase down bugs to find the absolute cause and then report my findings on the bug-tracker. Screen-shots, saved games et-al but not any more.

But it is possible that you had some mods installed and removed all of them, which can cause some issues with the partdatabase

This is the important part and now I can replicate it:

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

UnityEngine.MonoBehaviour:StartCoroutine(IEnumerator)

Looks like it is related to the dV calculations...

I'm going to put in on the bug tracker

Re-rooting the craft to another part will do the trick so far.

edit: #20933 on the bugtracker
