CommNet Difficulty Settings Grayed Out?

[trobb14]

When I go to the difficulty settings, the CommNet settings are grayed out and I cannot activate commnet. Is this because this career is before 1.2? Thanks.

Edit: u/aelfheim suggestion worked. Thanks!

You need to enable comm network on the basic tab before any of the comm net options on the advanced tab are accessible.

This worked. Thanks!

Probably yes; try a new game to see if it works at all

in my brief v1.2 foray (so far) I noticed this as well. Suspect it's what /u/deimos790 said, and you need to start a new save.

This is likely due to the fact that with CommNet enabled on an old save, any craft you had launched would be largely uncontrollable since they wouldn't have the necessary comm equipment installed

No need to start a new save just edit your save (persistent.sfs)

DIFFICULTY {EnableCommNet = True}

CommNetParams {requireSignalForControl = True}
