It seems that you’re having fun with the Mainlining experience but it hasn’t gone unnoticed that some of you are encountering a few issues. These are being addressed as quickly as we can get to them with new builds being posted onto Steam on a regular basis. So far the following issues have been fixed.
The game options now save correctly.
Fixed crash when reopening the map
Fixed crash downloading a file from Phil Stern’s machine.
Corrected a crash when logging into skybox
Addressed a crash when using the arrest window
Corrected one of Phil Stern’s text files that appears on philhippic.bp.
Repaired a story prompt the failed to go off in the third case.
Fixed an issue that saw some players being able to jump to an OSs early if they clicked the far-right pixel.
Stopped players being able to access the eight case early.
Updated newspaper text that was grabbing wrong the incorrect string.
The following issues have also been reported and are currently being worked on. Updates will be pushed as they are addressed and fixed.
The scroll bars in the messaging windows of the Peyotex OS work incorrectly and users need to use their mouse-wheel to be able to scroll and read the text (this seems to occur mainly with laptop users).
Some windows have depth issues causing the user to be able to click through them.
Tabbing out and back into the game causes an intermittent screen glitch (white flashing) for some users.
Thanks for your patience.
