It's almost 3 AM and I just finished wrapping up the latest bug fixes for release 1.3, and there are many fixes you'll find "minor" but are somewhat important to the overall experience of the game.
A few days ago I released 1.3 but had to remove it almost immediately because of some issues it was giving to some players. We're talking about 10 people out of a few hundred, so the numbers are very few, nevertheless I put on a Beta branch and I'm still trying to figure out what caused the issue in the first place.
It was reported that, in very rare cases, saved games could behave erratically after applying this patch (i.e. right-clicking, hitting ESC not working properly).
I made a fix to try to overcome this issue, even though the error appears so randomly that it's almost impossible to understand its origin. Still, new games are not affected by it and you should be able to play the game by loading it without problems. To achieve that I had to reset any customized setting (i.e. fullscreen, skip options, vanilla mode etc.) upon loading a game saved before 1.3, sorry for any discomfort this might cause.
In case you are still affected by the issue after I release the patch:
- just try and reload an earlier saved game. The problem has been reported to disappear just like it appeared.
- Checking the game's integrity with the Steam's client is also recommended in case of any trouble.
While some of you might even laugh at a developer who can't find his own bugs, I assure you this is more slippery than it seems, because of the few people actually affected and because every game I tried, even after loading allegedly corrupted games was completely bug-free.
Of course I could also tell you that older saves are incompatible and that would be it. Many games actually do it after major releases (i.e. Stellaris, to name one) and I believe that's fine, but it wouldn't be true, because loading a game actually works for most people!
Since the issue wasn't reported for a while, I decided to release 1.3 tomorrow, as it brings so many new features I'm very excited to share with you.
Just tell me if you experience the bug by writing at bugs(at)brunimultimedia.com after trying the above solutions. Thank you for enjoying the game, I hope you'll have fun with it for a long time.
