Launching rocket crashes the game

I have exactly the same bug!!

HAve the Tes Test Test!, then press launch button, it keeps idle for a bit, then crash!

I loaded your save game and interestingly to me the text on the platform was normal (Begin launch sequence) but as soon as the dupe got onto the driver seat, the game crashed

same here. 

Tried both platform and pilot module launch options. Both are crashing the game when the launch button is pressed. 

The text behaves very strangely. It is alternating when I mouse over to two DIFFERENT messages. 

One is "Tes Test Test!" and another message is "begin launch sequence". 

 

CO2 engine - the first rocker start. The platform was built on teleporting asteroid.

I have to restart after the  new update as my old save was crashing every time I start or land rockets (some of them were in flight when the update came).

 

I used mods but removed them completely in the test file - the same problem persists.

Same here too

I will try to rebuilt the rocket

Changed Status to Fixed

This should be fixed in the next hotfix. Thanks for the report.

In the interim rebuilding the rocket will likely allow you to recover from the error. The launch pad rocket relationship needs to be repaired.

Workaround method till the patch arrives.

I actually made it working (great that it is fixed in the next patch). 

I rebuild the rocket platform (without touching the rocket itself) and the crashes stopped so I could continue with the game as it is (and with all mods).
