0 Thin Eyes Yellow Dragon Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 This is also happening to me, I think it might be related to crafts that have been docked/undocked prior to deploying the parachutes since it never happened to me when I built simpler crafts for easier missions. But as I made more complicated crafts with landers and whatnot, parachutes have never deployed properly since. The only work around I've managed to find is to make a save, return to the main menu, and then reload the save. Reloading the save in game will not work, you have to quit to the main menu or quit the game entirely for this to be fixed via reloading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes OS: Windows 10 | CPU: Intel i7 | GPU: RTX 3050 | RAM: 16gb Parachute consistently failing during physics warp despite conditions being safe to deploy (as if the parachute thinks you're going to fast and it cuts on deploy). Landing in water during physics warp at terminal velocity (I found this out because my parachute broke) does not seem to destroy the vessel and instead I ended up deep in water and floated back to the surface. Though I'm grateful this saved Valentina I'm pretty sure this is unintended behavior. Included Attachments: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes OS: Windows 11 | CPU: i7 - 13700KF | GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 | RAM: 63.84 GB I was trying to achieve a precision landing as part of the tour mission, so I was dialing in the deorbit maneuver to try and get as close as possible. I made some successive saves and at some point the parachutes would no longer deploy when tried. There was one reentry where I got 2 of 4 drogues and 1 of 2 mains to deploy (after I first started noticing the issue) by manually toggling under parts (staging did not work). Thereafter nothing. I could have actually walked away from that landing, but because only one of the 2 mains deployed I ended up on my side and of course that was the side with the hatch. It now won't work at all in any of the saves I have regardless of what I do. I did not have time warp enabled at the time. Attached I have a copy of the craft and the save right where I would like to deploy chutes.

Yes OS: Windows 11 | CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7500F | GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT | RAM: 32GB DDR5 Coming back from the Mun, standard de-orbit trajectory. Despite everything I did (with settings below), my parachutes would not open, mashing spacebar included. I reloaded a previous save right before re-entry, and they worked flawlessly the second time. Not a major issue but still something to look into? - Rachel Included Attachments: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 WingC3 Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 Yeah, I've had a couple of parachutes deploy and a couple of parachutes not deploy even on the same stage. And even clicking the manual deploy button does not work. The only option is to reload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Major_Melon Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 (edited) Radial MK16 parachutes don't work for me. What's weird is I was able to get one deployed by just arming it, but the other one which was symmetrically placed wouldn't deploy even if I tried immediate, risky or adjusted the values to deploy at 5000m. In this instance I was on a return trajectory from the Mun, Kerbin Ap of about Munar distance and a Pe of 32000m, little to no inclination. Hope this helps! When checking I couldn't detect any damage to the parachutes, they both were fully functional and repacked. I'm really unsure where it went wrong. I can send my game save, not sure how to though.

0 jcheung9941 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 had some mk16-r's fail too. once allowing my capsule to impact the ocean at 80m/s and surviving, the next few times being death-loading earlier save sometimes knocks it free, and manual deploy worked asymetrically once. the second chute was still packed.

0 Jeq Posted January 5 Author Share Posted January 5 (edited) It seems that parachutes doesn't deploy for same reason as some stages needs double pressing to deploy. When you deploy parachute stage they doesn't deploy at first try but parachute stage is removed, if you make new stage now and move parachutes there, press staging again then parachutes deploys normally. Video clips out just when i am gonna press space again to stage it, but now parachutes deploys normally when i do this.

Unlike the double-tap staging, chutes not deploying is inconsistent. Also, the solution is different as “trying again” doesn't work—or at least entails something different (making a new stage). The problem occurs when staging (not when not registering staging at the first attempt). It's not the link with space bar/button --> stage, but it's the stage --> chute link that goes wrong.

This is solution when waiting bug is fixed and this info might help finding reason of bug. Edited January 5 by Jeq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Scarecrow71 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Reported Version: v0.2.0 (latest) | Mods: Flight Plan, Maneuver Node Controller, MapView Focus and Targeting, K2D2, Micro-Engineer | Can replicate without mods? Yes OS: Win11 | CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 3900 12 core | GPU: GeForce RTX 2060 Super | RAM: 32GB Ran into this yet again today. Had 2 pairs of radially set drogue chutes (4 total), and 2 pairs of radially set Mk16 chutes (4 total). Entered Duna's atmosphere, and went to stage...and nothing happened. Altitude was ~10km, and speed was ~300 m/s (both of which allow chutes to open on Kerbin, which has a far denser atmosphere). Brought up PAM/PAW and tried to manually click on the chutes to open them, and they did not open. Quicksave/Reload did not work; quicksave/restart did not work. Please fix this. ASAP. Chutes worked under previous versions of the game, but it seems that since the issue with having to hit the space bar multiple times to stage this is a problem. It is as if the command to deploy the chutes is either not created OR the variable isn't being accessed/processed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was able to revert to an autosave and deploy the parachute manually by right-clicking on it and selecting the corresponding settings. Note that I had flown a number of missions prior to this without having this problem. Included Attachments: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Navoan Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 New install of KSP2, returning from Kerbin orbit and experiencing this bug, MK16 parachute just will not deploy with staging, or manually trying to deploy. Tried reloading, same result. Reloaded again, staging wouldn't work, but was finally able to manually deploy the chute. Same entry profile etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
