Kerbal Space Program

I have not been able to reproduce this.

We can only present reproducible bugs to the developers, or where they are ephemeral such as this, a reasoned and well documented case for investigation.

I have reviewed the logs and craft, and although there appears to be an overheat event, the cause is unclear. We are aware of some strange launchpad explosions, and these are being investigated. This report may fall into the same category.

See #5181 and #5174

I have experienced the same problem in an unmodded game in a very similar situation. This problem persisted over multiple quicksaves, though it was only on one ship so far. It appears that when I either leave warp and return to x1, or any other event that causes the ship to reload, there is a chance the ship will blow up. It consistently happens in the same place for this quicksave. But odder still, there seems to be either a delayed reaction or aftereffect on another part of the ship, occurring about 10 seconds after the first part overheated. I am attaching video of myself (repeatedly) loading a quicksave and having the ship explode.
I have attached links to 2 videos (as they exceed the 5 MB maximum size be about 100 mb), one just showing the explosions enough times to prove this is something that is consistently happening, and another showing the debug menus, heat distribution, etc.

Unfortunately your video recording software transport controls hide an important piece of information. The timer in the top left shows not only the time, but the status of the physics rendering system. Referring to the wiki entry for time warp the timer will change colour to indicate how well the physics is keeping up. Under warp conditions, this may place extra load on the system, so depending on system's current load, and capabilities, different results will be seen by different people. This seems to be a significant factor in this problem.

I have also attached the saves files for this account, and the rocket that is experiencing the problem. (persistent.sfs , quicksave.sfs , yay.sfs , Orbit Shot 1.craft)

Thank you for the comprehensive information. We can load these up and investigate the outcome (with the performance caveat above in mind)

Oh, and I found a folder with today's date. Maybe it is a crash report, save, IDK. I attached the files inside too, just in case they help. (crash.dmp, error.log, output_log.txt, report.ini)

That does indeed look like a crash dump, and may need review, but we would need to determine if it is related to this issue, or is something else. Could you also attach the log for a game session where the craft explodes? Again, this information might be important when comparing dissimilar hardware capabilities. By the way, that is in no way meant to demean your hardware which I believe to be more than sufficient for the task. I run a very similar rig with an FX8250, and do see differences in results depending on the number of background tasks including video recording.

After careful review, it would seem that the crash is unrelated to this issue, and the log does not contain any entries for overheating. There are some other error entries that might need investigation if it is a persistent problem, but that would need to be the subject of another issue report.

I have taken the liberty of removing the "crash files" attachments so as not to confuse this issue. On further review, they are from an unrelated game session.
