Silent Kraken....

[AlamoVampire]

I am beyond furious to the point I could CRY. I was working a mission to Jool. An atmospheric probe to do probe things at Jool.

Here it is nearing a deceleration burn to take it in even closer to Jool before making a deorbit burn into the atmosphere... at least that was the plan when this was taken.

SO, prior to this picture, I knew something was wrong, my quick save button had died on me. I did have a node set up for an aerobreak at Laythe I think it was Laythe, anyway, the aerobreak would have slowed me down into a tight orbit at Jool, hey free DV is free DV right? So, I went to quick save when I had that awesome node, and nothing. I decided that something was amiss, so, I tweaked my node to avoid the aerobreak, and ended up in the orbit that picture was taken in.

I decide, okay, this is risky as all heck, but, lets roll. Little did I know that this silent kraken was slowly eating functions in my game. The final blow came during deceleration into a tight Jool orbit. I noticed my rocket suddenly throttle down <yes I use mechjeb> and went to check my fuel status, and all values went to 0. I tried to go to map mode, and the ship vanished from screen, leaving me an edge on map view of the Jool system. i tried to go back into "normal' view and BAM game lock up.

I alt F4d out of the game, reloaded and to my abject horror the game had NOT ONCE AUTOSAVED after reaching ORBIT OF KERBIN!! I was in orbit of KERBIN. a FULL YEAR AND CHANGE of game time LOST to this new silent kraken. I reloaded the game, like I said, and all functions had returned, auto-save, quick save, all working again, but, I was in parking orbit at Kerbin

So... What do you want people to say?

Don't worry this has happened to me before. If it stops quick saving quit the game and hopw it was at its last save.

Yah I get lots of little bugs like this. I've had this specific one before, I've had one where Kerbin gravity turned off, which forced me to find a backup save that had the gravity functioning properly (it also broke the revert function and made parts of my ship randomly disappear while moving up from the launch pad). Had another where the lights in my ship flickered on and off (with full power) then they suddenly disappeared and the game crashed. There was another where my ship wouldn't launch *at all*. Couldn't even move stages around.

I dunno man, it's just a very buggy game at times. It'll knock you on your ass from time to time but you gotta roll with the punches.

Dude, thats just the game saying your sweet maneuvering was a fluke and calling BS on your ass

Besides, second time 'round is always a chance to improve upon the last.

Moss your rude response is beyond uncalled for. There is absolutely ZERO need to reply to this thread solely to be an unmitigated trogladite.

To the rest: with the above unpleasntness done im glad im not the only one to get this glitch. Upshot is 1 its in a safe parking orbit and 2 i can retry for a sweet aerobreak near jool
