Founder Caught in Animation Glitch

I’ve got a save where the founder appears to have been caught in an animation glitch. She’s constantly twitching back and forth, and can complete no work. This briefly stalled out a game’s development until I noticed. When I did notice, I set her to training, which isolated her impact on workflow and permitted the game to continue. Of course, the training isn’t completing either.

I could finish the game at this point, but I’m down a worker (and a vital one, at that!).

The glitch is in the save file. I saved, then loaded, and it was still there. I even tried closing the game and reopening the save. It’s still there. Is there anywhere I could upload the save?

EDIT: Since I’m doing pretty well, I’m going to make a backup copy of my save file, and then go ahead and see what score I can accomplish founderlessly.

Hey,
Have you updated to 1.3.13?

I read the changelogs and saw no indication that it included resolutions to the issues I’ve had.

I also see pinned topics for version 1.3.13 and also for 1.3.2, where timestamps and discussion indicate that the earlier-numbered update is actually the more recent one. A conflict like that raises the specter of inconsistent project state and makes me unwilling to update until I absolutely need to.

Updates can be a minefield to navigate and everyone has their own ideas on how important they are. However in this instance the bug you describe was included in the 1.3.13 patch :green_heart:

There is no 1.3.2 patch.
There was a 1.3.12 patch, which was posted shortly before the 1.3.13. We pulled 1.3.12 as soon as we realised there was a possibility of a bug which would not allow players to save their games. Shortly afterwards we fixed it and released the 1.3.13 patch. Our patches for the native version all follow this logical increment.
The Windows store version is assigned its own system. I think that has more to do with microsoft than us.

Game Dev Tycoon (for Mac, Windows and Linux) 1.3.2 is rolling out What about this? 1.3.2 proclaims that thread.

Lol epic fail :blush: Thats 1.3.02 (i’m guessing) I will ask patrick for clarification. Its dated v1.3.2 29 Apr. 2013.
After that i remember 1.3.3, and 1.3.9, i may have missed some, and then the jump to 1.3.12 so its logical Patrick didnt use the zero’s but i will check :green_heart:

With your reassurance, I’ve updated my install. It’s nice to no longer have employees getting hung up.
