Fixes:

1. Fixed issues with lighting effects being out of sync during boss fights.
2. Fixed Thokk's minions being spawned after he dies in boss rush mode.

Performance:

1. I disabled most of the lighting effects in the game :(
It looked cool but unfortunately was very expensive in terms of performance.
2. I optimized boss rush mode a bit.

This update introduces the Investigative Journalism passion - for those characters who like Authority and would prefer not to Mass Protest, but still want to influence government policies through non-corporate actions.



Successfully exposing Political Misconduct will give you a good chunk of influence points



while failing to expose Corporate Fraud could lead to a Defamation Lawsuit



So make sure to verify your evidence before writing up the investigation!



In other news, the Create Public Company screen now has a Company Quality indicator to make it clearer how you can expect your IPO to perform:

• Add Investigative Journalism passion and related activities
  
• Player business staff hours summary expanded to two rows
  
• Adjust algorithm for share price calculation (you shouldn't notice much difference)
  
• "Create Public Company" add display for Company Quality so player has some idea how the IPO will perform
  
• "Create Public Company" help button reworded management effect on performance
  
• Fix "Create Public Company" estimated earnings from real estate using slightly different calculation compared to value shown on UI
  
• Remove age restriction on Corporate Espionage and Mass Protest passions
  
• Fix some passion goal outcomes playing successful sound effect when result was a minor fail

P.S. I've made a new gameplay trailer! Show it some love and perhaps the Youtube algorithm will smile upon it:

Sorry I didn't get the bug report bugs fixed sooner, Google is so great at sending me automatic emails for everything it can besides the one time I really needed it. There might be a bug or crash with the Steam stats getter, but I'm not sure if it's a big deal or not, it seems to always send and receive the stats for me so just report if your speed/push trophies aren't being counted up (you get a stat update every 20 levels I think).

Double Rumble should actually work now and not crash on exits, and some other weird things I managed to fix by hacking together solutions that least breaks the 4 years of duct-taped game.

Made it to 10 reviews! 30 is the next stop I think? If you haven't reviewed yet, please leave one as I'm trying to prove to myself and the world of indie game devs that:

1. Yes, you can promote and market a game after it's released.
   
2. No, it doesn't matter if you do almost zero promotion and marketing before the release.

• fixed gap in doubler_2
  
• hacked in fixed crash when pressing any key during doubler stairwalk
  
• fixed black bars persisting when resizing window during intros/cutscenes
  
• fixed runner appearing unsubmerged from quicksand if triggering timer
  
• made runner timer elegantly appear/disappear
  
• pressing alt+f4 no longer triggers menu input

Quick Fix:
Corrected Color Replace Shader, Tip menu images should now display correctly.

Menu Update

I think we're live. This makes me very happy because it feels great to feel like you can accomplish things.
See you soon with more developments.

另外，针对近期各位道友遇到的一些闪退，崩溃，游戏进不去等问题。有以下可能的解决方案，请大家可以先自查一下，如果仍然无法解决可以进 bug 反馈群 1048937185 与我们交流。

这个可能是Steam的云存档服务器波动引起的，可以尝试开启/关闭加速器。或可能进入游戏了。


确保游戏安装盘和虚拟内存盘在同一个盘符下。
比如游戏是安装在C盘的，并且虚拟内存盘也是C盘。


方法一：升级显卡驱动到最新版本
方法二：如果有双显卡，需要确保切换到独立显卡


如果是游戏一启动就崩溃，或者是启动后几分钟就崩溃的问题，有以下可能的解决方案。
右键点击客户端内的游戏，点击【属性】
如下图显示位置，找到【已安装文件】，点击【验证游戏文件的完整性】



在Steam客户端中，点击左上角的【Steam】，在下拉菜单中选中【设置】
如下图显示位置找到【下载】标签，关闭【启用着色器预缓存】
