Here's a tip for when stuff stops working


Recommended Posts

Tonight, I was going to wrap up a very long mission and when I advanced the throttle, nothing happened. If I could not get off Bop, I would have to transmit the science rather than recover it and lose a boatload of science. I had plenty of fuel and electrical power. The old "try turning it off and on again" worked. I exited to the tracking station and then went back to the probe and Bop and it worked. I believe doing that re-initializes stuff in the program and I have found if something stops working this will help a lot. :D

My big wtf bug is when staging completely gets stuck. The space bar just doesn't function. And I have no fix for it. The only way is to restart the game. By far THE most annoying bug in my game.

Yep, most annoying bug currently in the game. I've lost count of how many launches I've scrubbed because the stages just stop separating. No damage, plenty of power. Just no separation on staging.

Luckily, I fly mostly SSTOs and only launch station components on rockets. So this doesn't bite me that often. Now that my spacedocks are installed at both Kerbin and Laythe, I haven't launched a rocket in weeks.

Ps: Why's everyones text blue?

To annoy the poster that started annoying the rest of us with blue.

You can also post in white, but then, it would be invisible unless you had a different color background.

If staging, orienting your ship, or engines are not working, check that you are not in time acceleration and that you have battery power.

There is also the question of focus. If you are using MechJeb and one of those windows is the active window, other functions will not work until you left click the main screen to give it focus.

Since blue text is so annoying, I won't use it anymore.

Na I don't know what it is. When the bug occurs ( Something causes it, but idk what ). The only thing that works is restarting. Power? Check. Time warp? None and yes I click the main screen after messing with MJ.

It's only a big problem with ascents where you have to fire engines and a decoupler.
