A quick update to fix some bugs.

• Fixed a bug that sometimes caused the gold requirement for a building to not display.
  
• Fixed a bug that caused a save to fail to load if you placed a farm after getting the Cursed Farms quest.

I'm also working on some bigger things, including some more optimizations for both framerate and memory use along with some tools to help the folks at Soedesco record game footage and help test things.

Some players reported that there were a few places in level 8 that were not translated, so it was slightly updated.

Hi Everyone,

Hello Everyone!

The first update of the new year lacks bells and whistles to be direct and up front. However, this update is essential to the upcoming updates throughout the rest of the year. We have refactored some code and game processes underneath the hood to help us progress a bit more aggressively for the remainder of the year.

In this update, we did fix some bugs as well.

• Fixed a bug where running marketing campaigns did not finish its internal process internally. This manifests in the game in that the effects of marketing weren't realized on some marketing runs.
  
• Code refactor that improves the implementation of some upcoming features
  
• Code refactor that resolves a number of issues impacting game-play performance.

Outbreak: Lost Hope v1.51 has been released! This update includes:

• Additional minor buffs to Handgun, SMG and Shotgun ammo across the title. The effect is more pronounced on lower difficulties, but Biohazard has been balanced a bit more.

Here's another update. I fixed the AI for Chinese dice, a crash bug when getting fried by lightning in the ocean, and added some more respawns.

SOURCE CODE:
-If music and sound is turned off in settings, they will no longer be loaded into the game.
-Fixed bug with Chinese dice AI where opponent would sometimes guess #0 dice.
-Fixed crash when player is electrocuted by lightning in the ocean.

SCRIPTS:
-Lowered Software requirement for Polyphonic storage from 10 to 5.
-Added more Kalfu Pirate respawns in Loma Larga.
-(PANAMA) Added more baddie respawns in the Rekindled Tunnels.

STORY FILES: (requires starting a new game)
-(PANAMA) Made walls thicker on farm house so player can't use bed through the wall.

Players, maintenance is complete as of 2/3 @22:27. You are now able to log into the game.
Thanks for your patience.
