Patch Notes 9

Patch Notes 9:

===NOTE===

There is a small chance this update will have to update an internal file when you try to start a new game. This is abnormal, but expected behavior in case your New Game state is corrupted/incompatible. 

Bug Fixes

    1. Music appears to be working as intended. Tracks will unlock based on player decision, the game will play the most recent track on loop. Removed option to change tracks.

    2. Fixed issue with dialogue box showing wrong character name.

    3. Hot Patch: fixed issue where the game would not respond after losing and returning to the Main Menu.

Updates

    1. New Game and Restart should now work.

    2. Loading now takes version control into consideration. You should receive and error if you try to load an incompatible file.

    3. Saves now contain your volume settings.

    4. Splash Screen implemented.

Identified issues

    1. Bug - Board of Directors mood/patience. BoD mood update not displayed properly. Also possible for their patience to get stuck.

    2. Issue - Since auto saves trigger on Quarter Submit, if you lose trying to load that save will automatically put you in a lose state.

    3.  "New Game" and "Restart" don't start a new game.

    4. When looping music weird things happen with the tracks.

    5. Music can cutout unexpectedly (may only be on Web export. Likely fixed by Patch 9)

    6. 1 of 8 Stock Price factors not fully integrated. 

    7. Population and Environmental Health have no gameplay effect.

    8. Board of Director cards don't close unless player clicks the "X" button, but should close when you click anywhere else.

    9. Board Members each only have one response tied to the Talk option.

    10. User can save at any time, but gets sent back to the Quarterly Roundup which can lead to some issues. Will likely make it so saves happen any time the quarter is submitted, as I believe that should lead to things being calculated correctly for the most part.

    11. Loading save files from old versions will not work. May be able to make 0.8 saves compatible, if it's worth it.

Dormant Bugs (Reported, but not seen in 2 or more patches)

    1. Bug - Unidentified bug causes game to crash (maybe due to research limits/getting more labs).

    2. Potential Bug, cost for Bribe/Praise may not always subtract correctly (need more testing).

    3. Potential Bug (hardware/OS related) Board interactions not resetting in between quarters.

Temporary Fixes (May be patched after release)

    1. Trying to go back a track while looping breaks the music. (Removed track cycling)

    2. Taking out more than 1 loan at a time breaks the math (current fix: applied limit of 1 loan)

Testing Only (Should be patched before release)

    1. Dev console: when opening doesn't display player funds correctly.

    2. Save File is currently in plain text rather than encrypted.

    3. There is no password on the Dev Console/Cheat Menu
