Reproduction of bug: Launch of Korabl-Sputnik 2 mission
Result: Blackscreen or infinite countdown step (Follow from MC)

Hello Zurbaron,

Thanks for reporting this. Do you have a savefile at hand?

Cheers,

I had the same thing occur before updating to the new build. I forgot where the saves were stored, and when I came to the forum to look for that info I found that there was a new build, so I downloaded that instead. On the new build, I did not run into that error.

I found a bit of strangeness still remaining in the Voskhod missions. Currently looking at flying my first mission, and the game estimates that a manned orbital mission is lower risk than a manned suborbital mission. This appears to be because the suborbital mission penalizes me for failing to launch an unmanned test flight, but the manned orbital mission fails to penalize me for this.

Historically, the Soviets appear to have flown the Kosmos 47 mission, an unmanned orbital shortly before launching Voskhod 1, a 3 man orbital flight. Given this, I don't imagine unmanned or manned suborbital should be huge penalties when skipped.

Ran into the same bug, whenever I try to book the Soyuz - Soyuz Automated docking mission, no matter which rocket I try.
The screen for selecting mission controllers is messed up as well.

Heck, any mission I try to plan involving the N1 in that save (ie, Manned Lunar flights) exhibit the same problem with the mission controller screen.

Hello stratochief,

Yes, sorry about that. We found that bug yesterday while doing internal testing. It's because we have added new mission control layouts and I made a mistake when punching the values for the slots IDs.

I'll upload a new patch tomorrow, which will include the fix along with one of the new campaigns.

Cheers,

Which new campaign is included in the new patch?

The Soviet campaign is already there. In a few days I'll upload another patch with the other campaign and the last lunar program that we're going to include for release: Gemini EOR.

Cheers,
