Strange thing with Stayputnik

[linuxgurugamer]

Hi,

I'm having a strange issue. I have a modded install, with about 60 different mods. I'll post the list of mods this evening when I get home.

Total memory usage after initial startup is about 2.6 gig.

I have my first space station, right now consisting of a zoology lab and a science lab docked together. This is in the save file.

I tried setting up a new mission, and things went screwy, so I restored from a backup and so far have isolated the problem to the following:

1. I reduced the new ship to a Stayputnik and an SRB, nothing else.

2. I go to the launch pad

The game will briefly show the ship on the launch pad, and then after 2-5 seconds, the screen goes blank. The normal toolbar is showing at the top right, and when I hit the escape key, the menu shows up in the center of the screen. However, it is unresponsive.

The really annoying thing is that the game saves a new save file, but my space station is deleted. I can restart the game, but the station is gone. The size of the save file is about 200k, while the size of the file with the space station is over 300k

If I replace the Stayputnik with a manned pod, it seems to work.

So, before I start doing a lot of digging, I'm wondering if anyone has experienced this before, and if so, are there any mods which might be causing this.

As I said, I'll be posting the list of mods this evening, but am kind of hoping that someone can make a suggestion in the meantime.

Thanks in advance.

Ok. I've traced this to the WernherChecker mod. When I removed it, everything worked.

I've posted a message in that forum thread for the author to see.

To the forum moderators, how can I mark this as solved?

By editing the thread. Just like this!

(Or get someone with a funny coloured nickname to do it for you... just like this!)

Thank you.

when I edited the thread, I didn't see any way to make that change
