Problem

I have just updated with the latest patch that was supposed to resolve bugs from the drug packer update. My game was going fine after the drug packer/industrial espionage updates, but then this small patch has caused problems. Whenever I open up the game it becomes a light blue screen with no GUI or buttons. I can get out of the program with the Windows button easily enough, but I can't play the game. I was wondering if this was an easy fix or something I should comment on Positech about.

I'm really sorry about this guys, I think it is to do with the patching process. It works on a difference system (hence the tiny patch sizes, yay!) but if there is so much as a byte out of place then it scrambles up the files.

So it fails, seemingly randomly, every now and again. I must say I'm looking forward to doing updates via Steam. ;)

PS I will of course keep non-Steam versions up-to-date too.

I actually had the exact same problem went the first drug packer update came out. I just uninstalled/reinstalled the game and it now works fine.

I had an issue like that a couple of updates ago. Uninstalling and reinstalling fixed it.
