>when the fix for your discovered bug gets featured.
Again thanks to all devs for their quick work.

Fixed two crashes caused by (train) crashes.

Too bad there is now a research bug. Waiting for hotfix ... again.

The developers are fast, but there has more than a few hotfixes that could be avoided by just manually loading a save.

Any1 out there with one sciencepack cost per lategame endless research? Is it a mod causing this or the update?

@exi123 it has been reported here 60550.

I see, waiting for fix... so no research at the moment...

I suppose 16.40 gave them some debugging material for that bug

Thanks for the update!

Ahh, that's it!

Is this the setting where you can specify globally that you need less resources to make things?
I've never changed this myself, but why would this not be allowed lower than 1?

Has this version been deleted??

I was doing a playthrough on it but it's no longer an option in the betas menu.

It is still available on the website, but late game research is fundamentally broken so you should update anyway. For the steam install you should generally use the stable release if updating in between a playthrough would be a problem.
