<ul><li><strong>Platform</strong> <i>Windows</i> added</li></ul><p>Happens on Windows too. And it has nothing to do with the interstage nodes, the main one does the same.</p>
<p>Directly related to <a class="issue tracker-1 status-3 priority-2 priority-low3" title="Bug: Interstage fairings now hold on to decoupled parts (Resolved)" href="https://bugs.kerbalspaceprogram.com/issues/21915">#21915</a>, as it contains the same workaround. If the root part <strong>ISN'T ON THE SAME STAGE AS THE FAIRING</strong> - the bug will not occur.</p> Kerbal Space Program - Bug #25925: A fairing closed on the part attached to its top node or an interstage node breaks the node connection when deployedhttps://bugs.kerbalspaceprogram.com/issues/25925?journal_id=1505222020-08-08T23:22:14Zarctangent
<ul></ul><p>Yep, you're right. I did see <a class="issue tracker-1 status-3 priority-2 priority-low3" title="Bug: Interstage fairings now hold on to decoupled parts (Resolved)" href="https://bugs.kerbalspaceprogram.com/issues/21915">#21915</a> but I filed this as a separate bug because there are no decouplers involved, though it may well be another manifestation of the same underlying issue. Sure enough, if the root part is on the "stage" above the fairing rather than below it, the issue doesn't occur.</p> Kerbal Space Program - Bug #25925: A fairing closed on the part attached to its top node or an interstage node breaks the node connection when deployedhttps://bugs.kerbalspaceprogram.com/issues/25925?journal_id=1505232020-08-08T23:24:25Zarctangent

<ul></ul><p>It needs to be a separate issue because it is a separate issue, it just has some things in common with the old ones. It might as well just be a byproduct of the old ones. I suspect that the new features unfortunately were coded on top of already bugged code, which is not great at all. It will be considerably more difficult to "untangle" if that's the case.</p> Kerbal Space Program - Bug #25925: A fairing closed on the part attached to its top node or an interstage node breaks the node connection when deployedhttps://bugs.kerbalspaceprogram.com/issues/25925?journal_id=1505272020-08-09T20:18:02Zarctangent
<ul></ul><p>This bug appears to have been introduced in 1.10.0 - I checked a copy of 1.9.1 that I still have and the issue doesn't occur there.</p>
<p>I wonder if this one was caused by the attempted fix that's mentioned in the 1.10.0 changelog?</p> Kerbal Space Program - Bug #25925: A fairing closed on the part attached to its top node or an interstage node breaks the node connection when deployedhttps://bugs.kerbalspaceprogram.com/issues/25925?journal_id=1505832020-08-11T17:11:38Zdok_377
<ul></ul><p>Most likely. They've changed quite a bit with the fairings in 1.10 release, so no wonder some stuff snuck in unnoticed.</p> Kerbal Space Program - Bug #25925: A fairing closed on the part attached to its top node or an interstage node breaks the node connection when deployedhttps://bugs.kerbalspaceprogram.com/issues/25925?journal_id=1532132020-10-19T06:48:18ZXanatosX
<ul></ul><p>I think I did find the problem as well and did take a Video of it: <a class="external" href="https://www.reddit.com/r/KerbalSpaceProgram/comments/jdcm04/question_is_this_a_bug/">https://www.reddit.com/r/KerbalSpaceProgram/comments/jdcm04/question_is_this_a_bug/</a></p>
<p>I did some testing and seems like this problem only appears if you fully close the fairing. If you leave a small space empty and close ith with alt + left click it is working, this is not really a solution or a good workaround but maybe it helps to detect the problem.</p>
