The development continues and we are focusing on more „Quality of life“ improvements. Until now you were not able to change the size of windows inside the game. Soon you will be able to scale their height.
If you still can't decide to buy "Soviet Republic" - try a free demo! The Demo includes all game features and it's limited only by the amount of vehicles and buildings.
Enter the game page and click "Download WR:SR demo".

Fixed issue with forklift not send sometime to transport resources, in case you will have this issue, you will need to sell all forklifts from garages connected to problematic buildings, it was caused by schedule for forklift not get sometime reset, causing forklift is not send and also other forklift, because forklift with struck schedule is intend to transport resources, so other forklift thinks they don't need to start.
In case game seems completely broken best is to do this test with temporary disabled antivirus, or at least check if your antivirus not hold some files while testing integrity.
If this not helps, let us know in forum your problem. Best is to start the new thread. You should say if the new game is problematic, or only any specific save. Let us know if game crashed always at same stage, or after loading latest autosave you can normally continue, so crash is random..
