With this hotfix we have addressed a few issues and tweaked the new resource preview panel's visuals a bit. Beyond that, a long-standing issue with the game not starting up for players of early versions should have been fixed.
Start-up Issue Fix
This affected anyone who had played the Demo Version 5 or earlier and wanted to try out the game in Version 6+. The simple solution to the game not starting was to remove the savegame folder, but the game did not do so automatically. It now should. So fingers crossed people coming back to check out the game again will not find it not starting up at all!
If you were playing the game just fine and you don't see your savegames anymore, they are safe and you can move them over to the new savegame folder to continue playing where you left off.
Your old saves are in: %LocalAppData%\\Cyclist\\legacy_saves
You new saves go here: %LocalAppData%\\Cyclist\\save_games
You can copy-paste that path with the % into your windows explorer path bar and hit enter to get there directly. Just copy over your savegames from legacy_saves to save_games if you know them to be working.
Note: We just hotfixed the hotfix with a little change to this startup fix. So if you still had problems, give it another go. :)
Demo Update 8.1 Hotfix

Cheers!
