Thanks to a few reports, I tracked down a bug where ESC would stop opening the main menu after a while. Everything else kept working, so the game looked perfectly fine, but the menu itself was unreachable and closing the game was the only way out.
It is fixed now, and I added a safety net so it can never trap you again.
New Features
- Hold ESC to force the menu open. If anything ever blocks the menu again, hold ESC for about a second and it opens anyway.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed the main menu not opening with ESC. A few different action combinations could trigger it, the easiest being going into placement mode with an item and opening the map before putting the item down. All of them are patched now.
- Fixed the menu staying broken after returning to the main menu and loading another save. That used to need a full game restart.
Thanks to everyone who reported this one. It took a handful of different descriptions before the pattern became clear.
Stay profitable!
