Attention: To ensure that some changes take effect, I recommend starting a new game when updating to version 0.8.5.14. Save games made before this version of the patch may not load correctly, and while they might still work, they may result in unwanted glitches.

If you encounter any issues with save games made before this version, please note that I may not be able to provide support for them.

I always strive to make older saves still viable with each patch. However, depending on the changes, it is possible that older saves will stop working from time to time. I aim to keep these occasions as rare as possible.

To avoid confusion with older save files, I suggest going to

"C:\Users\ Your Username \AppData\LocalLow\InkDev Studios\Software Company"

and deleting any save games stored there (files that end with *.dat) before starting the game for the first time after the update.

#FIXES:

  • Fixed some camera problems when calling people from the contacts window.

  • Employees will now show up to work after being hired from a call made via the contacts window.

  • Fixed an issue where sales for a game would skyrocket again when the game should actually be taken off the market. This will make the game probably a lot more challenging, especially in the beginning.

  • Fixed an issue where values in a saved game for finished games would get messed up in some cases.

This hotfix concludes the ongoing work of fixing issues with save games. There might be small patches fixing minor errors in the upcoming weeks. Otherwise, I will now start working on the first content update, including the highly requested UI overhaul, scalable UI, and further localization.

Thank you all for your continued support.

Sincerely,

Sascha
