CommNet not working.

[raver20999]

In my game I set up 3 satellites with RA-100 antennas at geostationary orbit. One has line of sight to KSC and the remaining 2 have line of sight to the one pointed at KSC. No matter what antenna I put on a probe as soon as I engage the last stage of the spacecraft (with no kerbins onboard) the probe loses comms. Has anyone else had this issue?

Sorry just read the post about report bugs.

 

• KSP Version: 0.1.1.0.21572
• Operating System and version: Windows 11, Version 22H2
• PC Specs: 
  • CPU: Ryzen 7 5700X
  • GPU: EVGA RTX 2080
  • RAM: 32GB 3200 MHz
• Description of the bug:
  • CommNet connection maintaining after staging the last stage for probe only spacecraft.
  • CommNet connection lost after staging
• Steps to Replicate: (This is what I did in my game but whatever CommNet setup will do it.)
  • Have 3 satellites with RA-100 antennas in geostationary orbit. All three needs to have line of sight to each other and one needs to be line of sight to Kerbal Space Center.
  • When I create a rocket I have one stage for the 3400 m/s needed to get to orbit.
  • The second stage is the space stage which finalizes the orbit, maneuvers the probe (usually a section of a space station), docks the section, and deorbits itself to reduce space debris.
    •  This second stage has its own probe and antennas so it can stay connected.
  • As soon as I decouple the space stage from the station so I can deorbit it the space craft loses its CommNet Connection.
• Fixes / Workarounds: 
  • Closing/saving the game and restarting the game.
• A list of ALL mods: 
  • None
• Other Notes / Screenshots / Log Files (if possible..)
  • None

An alternative workaround to closing the game outright seems to be a quick save and a quick load, though it doesn't always seem to work if you have multiple probes in the same area of influence and you may have to quick save and reload each time you switch to another one.
