can not recover vessel

[rkman]

Fresh install version 1.12.0 win64 (not Steam), no mods
Playing science sandbox, returned from Minmus with a lot of science.

Clicking recover vessel does nothing, same with go to space center.
Also cannot go to space center, tracking station or quit to main menu via menu. Save game produces no save game file.

When i loaded the 'persistent' save file, it put me at the vessel recovery screen, and it gave me much more science (about 1000) than i had gathered (150 or so). It's as though it gave me the amount that i had gathered for every time i had clicked 'recover vessel'.

This looks like the issue that was just patched by 1.12.1. looking at your screenshot there.

I'd suggest you download 1.12.1 and see if that fixes your issue.
