Kerbal Space Program

Maybe he couldn't EVA yet. Isn't that a tech you have to unlock?

Also assuming they didn't change it so you can transfer the results without going out there.

 

[BenKenobi]

Stop cyberbullying me!

I had no idea what the science capsule was doing so I ignored it and flew my usual christmas tree lander with all the gadgets on it.

 

[BenKenobi]

New version is out and everything crashes. Lovely.

 

[Cyborg Eastern European]

Well, it's KSP.
Either you crash, or the game does.

 

[BenKenobi]

It crashes on launch. I am not even given a chance to crash myslef. Sad.

 

[Antoine de Saint-Exupéry]

You didn't forget to deactivate any mods did you?

Other than that, I guess that's just how KSP is

 

[Feragorn]

Also, KSP got acquired by Take Two Interactive, but most of original devs have since left and apparently got separately acquired by Valve. So we'll see how that goes.

Pretty much every employee at Squad is like third or fourth holder of the occupation at this point.

 

[BenKenobi]

You didn't forget to deactivate any mods did you?

Oh, that. How do I do that? Remove their files from the GameData folder? Won't it hinder my savegames also?

 

[Antoine de Saint-Exupéry]

Oh, time to make backup folders of my game versions >_>

Oh, that. How do I do that? Remove their files from the GameData folder? Won't it hinder my savegames also?

Remove from gamedata yes.

It will basically put your save file in a coma. When the mods get updated to work with the new version, you can put htem back into gamedata (and update them) and your save *should* be fine, but your save will not work without the mods active.

If I were you, I'd see if I could find a copy of the game version that you were on before upgrading (1.2.2, right?), and just continue playing that for the time being.

 

[BenKenobi]

Oh, I didn't think of that. It is actually possible to downgrade the game version on steam. So all is well.

 

[Antoine de Saint-Exupéry]

Ah, good then. I don't have it on steam so wouldn't know.

 

[Cyborg Eastern European]

Also, KSP got acquired by Take Two Interactive...

I wonder how that will affect the new add-on. Chiefly, Squad's accidental promise of free expansions that stirred up a fuss a few years back.

 

[Feragorn]

They still claim that on the subreddit, so hopefully they're sticking to it.

 

[Antoine de Saint-Exupéry]

If you bought april 2013 or before, expansion will continue to remain free.

(That's not an arbitrary new date, it's when they clarified that situation).

 

[Cyborg Eastern European]

(I forgot what year it happened.)

 

[BenKenobi]

This has to be the most Kerbal thing I have ever done  Ferrying two satellites and a large orbital station to Duna, I kinda screwed the intercept resulting in very insufficient dv on return. I established an orbit around Kerbin but had too little fuel to make it to the planet itself. Luckily, there is always a solution 

Spoiler: I had to ditch one engine pylon to increase remaining dv from 40 to 70

Spoiler: Burning, slowing and all that. The engine is running at minimum thrust to allow SAS to stabilise the ship

Spoiler: No fuel and the periapsis is still 160km

Spoiler: Oh, well - sometimes you just need to get out of the car and push. Also, decoupling gave me 5 dv

Spoiler: After 2 EVAs, periapsis is down to 60km

Spoiler: Third EVA fuel reserves burnt and we are heading home!

Spoiler: Oh, yes! Slow me down you lovely atmosphere you

Spoiler: And, touchdown
