First hotfix since KSP2 went early access. Congrats!

[Nicrose]

You’re welcome  haha thanks for the hot fix! 

[Strawberry]

So glad to see yall doing hotfixes! Here's to hoping we get one for soi changes

[TickleMyMary]

The patch shouldn't have released with these issues to be fair but I'll give you an up for releasing a hotfix... We don't mind waiting for a quality update, but, it has to be quality to justify that.

Now, squash those big release day bugs and we can start talking gaming again.

 

EDIT... Get rid of the launcher too, it's unnecessary, intrusive and is yet another thing (among many) that is stopping me launching the game. You've sold us the game, give us months of trouble and now you want to dictate how we launch the ruddy thing! Like, just stop it and focus on making the GAME everyone is here for instead of tweaking daisies and deciding to wholly rework how you present planets a few weeks after launch.

I will commit to ending the negative vibe if you just commit to focussing on the game dev.

[Davidian1024]

Both seem fixed to me. 

[PDCWolf]

Hotfixes and fast paced patching in general is how EA should go. Glad you've unlocked the former in the tech tree, and hope to see more of those.

First of many I hope. Quick patches for oneor two bugs is my preference over having to wait another quarter for the next megapatch. There's enough issues that, when fixed, would greatly improve the current state of the game.

[EvelynThe Dragon]

More hot fixes please, as you fix stuff.  Don't make us wait months for stuff that is fixed and tested while you work on something else. Get these out there.

Plus de correctifs s'il vous plaît, au fur et à mesure que vous corrigez des choses. Ne nous faites pas attendre des mois pour des choses qui sont réparées et testées pendant que vous travaillez sur autre chose. Obtenez-les là-bas. 

amen

[Stephensan]

i like the idea of a hotfix for the most important bugs.

[Ultimate Steve]

Granted, KSP 1 and KSP 2 isn't the fairest of comparisons, it is worth noting that not catching a simple and extremely disruptive bug is not something that is unique to KSP 2:

 

v0.8.2

Released 13 ^th July, 2011

This version is a hotfix for a couple of ugly bugs found with the 0.8.1 release.

Note: The 0.8.1 release introduced a few changes to the .craft file format, so it is possible that ships created with versions prior to 0.8.1 might not be compatible with the new version.

• Pod cannot be dropped if an Escape Tower (PunchOut addon) is attached

[SLS]

Excellent! Thank you so much. 

Can't wait to see plasma...

[LunarMetis]

Nice! Please make this a regular thing.

[herbal space program]

Good decision to issue a hotfix for that one! 

[Mitokandria]

Thank you so much!!!! Please more hotfixes for the majour issues in the future?

 

I'll give it a playthrough later after I've had my ksp1 fun for the day.

[MechBFP]

Much appreciated.

[RocketRockington]

Lol the one time a fix is applied in a reasonable amount of time...and they also use it to add DRM into the exe so you can't open the game without the launcher anymore.

I was all ready to light the fireworks and call for the ticker tape parade, eat some crow for doubting anything ever about this project wouldn't be persistently disappointing.

It was like after 4 years of highschool, always getting an F in every class, the school delinquent  turned in a paper for a C+. 

Except it turns out he also got chat gpt to write it.

Never change IG/ST/Uber/PD, never change.

Nicely done.

If there's one thing to take away from this experience devs... It's this.

[Matt Lowne]

Did this hotfix remove the ability to launch KSP 2 directly from the .exe file, forcing us to use the PD launcher? I can no longer launch the game via the .exe, it just loads the PD launcher instead.
