Hotfix 44 Changelog

Bugfixes

• Let Me In!: Added a backstop for long "Final Calculations" that could get stuck in update 75. If that finalization runs for 10 seconds, then it will just proceed with the game and log a warning into the log, rather than blocking you permanently. This is the safety feature to keep anyone from getting softlocked on loading from one savegame to a different one, even if something goes wrong (and to provide information about what went wrong if it does happen).
• Don't Forget To Count: Fixed an issue where during the "Final Calculations" phase from update 75, where the buildings portion of it could legitimately refuse to start because of some internal cross-thread timing that it had negotiated, but then it wouldn't actually start after that. Now it restarts properly and quickly, within about a quarter of a second in most cases. This is the first example (and possibly only, but I'm not taking chances) of "one of the things that went wrong. [/expand]Full notes here.
