New front page post today. Sad it's not .17.1

[Corbald]

Another week without KSP. Damn launch bug is gonna kill me, I swear! Since it looks like it might be a bit, can someone get up on making a balloon mod so I can fling my Kerbals Redbull style?

[mustwinfull]

What do you mean by a front page post?

Also, just be patient, SQUAD have a lot of work in fixing bugs so I hope you understand that.

Also, I'm not sure about a balloon mod, but I think someone is making one.

Thanks.

Not trying to rush SQUAD. I'd rather have a quality patch than anything. Just expressing my sadness that I can't enjoy the game I love. Que sera. I have XCom EU to tide me over! Also, I was reffering to today's news on kerbalspaceprogram.com/.

What launch bug? I haven't had much issues with KSP other than direct high warp to 1x transitions causing things to fall off spacecraft (which is worked around by going to 5x first then stepping to 1x) and the game randomly locking up on me.

Some see the bugs, some don't. It seems the reproduction can be somewhat elusive.

There is a balloon mod named ludodyne. Someone is working on JP Aerospace balloon to orbit style balloons at the moment.

The 'Launch' or 'Tracking Station' bug has to do with SQUAD having removed an art asset, which the game is still trying to load. When I click launch from the VAB or Hanger, or when I try to switch to the tracking station, the game CTDs. It's not EVERY time, but it's often enough to make it almost impossible to create a functional rocket (we all know how often we need a bit of extra space-duct-tape). Also, with the extra resources being used up, my framerate, as of .17, is so bad that I can't launch anything that has even the slightest wobble or drift during takeoff.

Have you tried doing a fresh install to c:/games/ksp_win with no mods and trying to do a few launches and builds to see if the problem persists?

I run a mostly vanilla install (except for protractor and kerbal engineer redux) and i've never had the game crash on launch or going to tracking.. If it's mod related, that might be why some see it and some don't.

For me the main annoyance is it'll just randomly lock solid and no particular place.. most of the time it happens in flight, but once or twice it's been in the VAB or SPH.

Most annoying bug is time warp bug, capsule falling apart during reducing warp, it happens when mechjeb reducing time warp during mid-correction burn.

It's fixed in the latest version of Mechjeb. It only happens when you go from max warp to 1x. Try bringing it down more gradually, go from max warp to 5x and then 1x.

When I did not was control the time warp factor but mechjeb.

You tell me that is update to mechjeb, that fixing time warp problem?

[John F. Kerman]

If it's a missing file causing the crash, you could try downloading 0.16 and updating to 0.17 via the updater program.. might keep the old 0.16 files that way (that said, doing this deleted all my old screenshots )

Yes. A new version came out a few days ago.
