I did too, I didn’t have any problems. Must have been a fluke. Thanks!

This was a standard “Rail World” start with 0.17.0. I didn’t delete any files or modify the save at all.

I just launched a rocket on my first 0.17 map and I never got the "Game Finished" screen. The technology queue also wasn't unlocked, which I assume is related. I launched with no satellite, and used no mods during my game. I've attached my save game with a ready-to-launch rocket.

I should also add ...
