Unable to recover vessels in 0.25.0

[Tomski]

Hello all, i updated to 0.25.0 yesterday and started a new career profile. After launching a number of flights I noticed I was unable to recover any of them regardless of how far they landed from the space center. I tried clicking on the Recover button above the altimeter, tried clicking on the icon in the KSC screen, and tried recovering the vessel in the Flight Tracking Station. Nothing works. I have the Recovery Transponder Fitting strategy active too, but it doesn't make a difference. Even when I leave a vehicle on the launch pad, I can't recover from there either so I know distance isn't the issue. They only time I actually did manage to recover a vessel (and get the pilot back as well as the science points from the flight) was when I tried to launch a new flight which prompted me to recover the vessel that was still on the pad.

Unless I get this sorted out, the only way I can get science points is by beaming science back. All other science as well as the pilot remains with ship wherever it landed on the surface or in the oceans of Kerbin.

Any help?

While I don't see VOID in your list, that one gave me issues. The usual routine applies: uninstall all your mods and it should work fine. Add mods one by one until the issue happens again.

[Tomski]

So I've reverted to a vanilla KSP folder that I keep on backup, and it seems to work. So apparently it is one of the mods. Now I face the long and tedious chore of isolating which mod it is exactly. Hopefully it's not one that I consider essential.

I might start testing tonight, but if anyone knows for sure which one(s) it might be or if its 64 related, please post!

Looks like between the two of you ProcFairings and DMagic are in common. Try those first.

[ComradeAlex]

I'm leaning towards ProcFairings myself as something just don't feel right about it, just reinstalling KSP but its taking foooooooooooooooooooooorever.

[ComradeAlex]

Well works fine with all my other mods while leaving out ProcFairings and DMagic, I'm going to slap DMagic back in and see what happens.

It is quite likely that there is information in the output_log.txt/player.log file that will point the finger at the cause. Please follow the instructions in the sticky thread about how to get support, particularly the part about uploading a complete log file...

Edit: Also, it is a good idea, after doing a completely clean install, to take a copy of the whole program folder as a backup. This makes reinstalling much quicker and easier...

Guessing it's DMagic, since I'm having the same issue. In the Alt-F2 log, I see "MissingMethodException: Method not found: 'ResearchAndDevelopment.set_Science'," which also tends to implicate it.

Had the same issue, only mod the same was DMagic, removed and that fixed it. It was definitely something to do with the science gathering. Hopefully it gets fixed.

strange, i removed DMagic but now clicking on the buildings in the space center does nothing... when i reload a save, i can't switch to another vehicle...

[Capt. Hunt]

I'm using both DMagic and ProcFairings, and they work fine, although I had a similar issue with DebRefund.

Guys, just found out that all issues are solved when DMagic is updated to its latest version (10/20/14)

I had a similar issue, but no DMagic mod.

Thanks to the Alt+F2 Log i found that the ramdisk i run KSP from was simply full and it could not quicksave or switch to the space center or recover a vessel. When i removed a few bytes KSP started to work normal again.

I noticed the same behavior before when the KSP folder was suddenly write protected (after a crash?).
