  • Download fotw.msi from your distributor (Direct2Drive users will download fotw.exe instead)

  • Changed: Data telemetry redesigned to have an overview page instead of the overly-simplified key stats, to allow quicker access to region and global information. [#3064]
  • Added: Locked missions have a padlock icon displayed on them and the name of locking mission displayed in the mission details. [#3126]
  • Changed: Cards that stall silently now correctly show as "completed" on hand history, rather than indefinitely showing as paused. [#3006]

  • Changed: When starting a new game, the 'Projects' deck is no longer selected by default, thereby removing confusion about the limited number of cards available. [#2549]
  • Fixed: On Windows, trying to save a game with the same name but different case will not overwrite older games unless the player wishes to do so. [#3007]

  • Fixed: Dr Apocalypse HQ art no longer persists when loading a different mission. [#3134]
  • Fixed: Game win movies for Three Degrees and both Dr Apocalypse win scenarios correctly hooked up. [#2338]
  • Fixed: Large temperature increases now make the Amazon collapse more certain than previous logic. [#3009]
  • Fixed: Playing Tobin Tax in all twelve regions correctly triggers the 'Tax Man' achievement. [#3037]
  • Fixed: Some categories of wildfires could play both defended and undefended versions. [#3242]
  • Fixed: Some tidal impacts at different levels were triggering at the same time. [#3247]

Known issues:
  • Game crashes with a "Failed to DrawPrimitive" message. This most probably means that you do not have enough Video Memory to run the game (you need at least 512MB). Try setting "Texture Quality" to "Low" or "Medium" in the Options screen. [#2726]
  • Game occasionally crashes when alt-tabbing from fullscreen. [#2517]
  • Steam version of the game fails to start with Zone Alarm installed. Workaround: Uninstall Zone Alarm Toolbar. [#2738]
  • Game has been reported to quit to desktop after the 'Please Wait' message on Windows XP. [#2716]
  • Game UI can be extremely slow if you have ASUS gamingOSD or ASUS smartdoctor installed. [#2757]
  • Sometimes sound will fail to initialise; restarting generally fixes this but the sound will never recover without a restart. [#2169]
  • The game will crash when launching from steam if you have a Air Display's virtual graphics adapter running. As a work around you can disable this adapter. [#2780]
  • UI becomes sluggish after several hours of play [#2695]
  • Energy telemetry pane can sometimes show > 100% energy use under certain conditions (such as large renewable energy numbers) [#3002]
  • "Expand coal/oil/gas" can sometimes be played when there is no more of that resource available. [#3151]
  • Stacked graphs with negative components do not represent the totals properly. [#2468]
  • When updating to a new version of the game, any modified files owned by the game will not be updated. The workaround is to uninstall the game completely, then reinstall it. [#3237]
  • Height of stacked graph columns sometimes do not add up to the total for the stat. [#2591]
  • The game is not compatible with MaxiVista software - please turn off the software and/or any devices connected that way before running the game. [#2921]
  • The globe becomes stretched horizontally after the game has been left idle for a long period of time. [#1836]
  • Annual Emissions Summary tooltips and Temperature/Emission screen predictors react too strongly to changes in the previous turn. [#2721]

The "Chaos Pack" DLC for Post Apocalyptic Mayhem is now available on Steam and is 50% off during the Free Weekend

The Chaos Pack includes three new vehicles for the Apocalyptic Wasteland tracks in Post Apocalyptic Mayhem:

The Fuzz - Even though the world has been destroyed and the only law survivors know is; kill or be killed, the 5-0 is still cruising your neighborhood, but this cop is not here to serve and protect, it’s here to maim and destroy.

The TOW'er - This tow truck doesn’t talk with a southern drawl and is not friendly with any race cars. This truck is all about destruction and mayhem. If you’re stuck on the side of the road, this is the last truck you want to call for help.

Ice Scream - When you hear this ice cream truck’s bell ringing, you get as far away as possible. This truck may look nice and innocent from the outside, but at its core, there’s no sugary center, there’s nothing but sweet death for whoever gets close.
