Kerbal Space Program Quicksave – How to Undo Loading a Quicksave in KSP?

kerbal-space-program

I just reverted to a quicksave in KSP, but I had forgotten that I had not actually made a quicksave during this mission (or in the last few missions), and thus hours of work were deleted.

Is there any way to get it back?

I know this is an old post but it IS possible to "undo" a quickload because I've done it before more than once with 0.20 and 0.22.

The key is to react as soon as you realize what you've done. In Windows, just hit Alt-Ctrl-Del and bring up the task manager, select ksp.exe from the processes tab and click on "End Task", this will kill the game. Restart the game and load your mission, then you will be at the point where your game last autosaved, before you did the quickload.

This works only if you do it quick enough, because a short time after the quickload mistake, the game WILL autosave again which will overwrite the persistent file, but it doesn't do it right away, and a quickload does NOT overwrite the persistent save file.

Again, I have done this more than once because I've made the same mistake, and I can tell you that it works.
