Version 2023.1.9 has been released!
This patch was pushed today because it fixes an issue with screen resolutions - sometimes the screen would spawn on the first game load way off the upper left part of the screen to the point of being unplayable. This patch SHOULD fix the issue - it's not replicated on any tester's machines, so cannot completely confirm, but the fix did work the way it was supposed to on at least one computer. If the game's still launching far to the upper left, please get in touch.
Unfortunately this means a player progression issue hasn't been completely tested - a bug in the code was preventing older players from declining at the expense of younger players, so younger players should start improving more. This could potentially mean player progression has become unbalanced again, but the upper left bug was too important of a fix to wait on, and the "Benjamin Button" bug was too important not to fix, so look for more player progression balancing in the next couple patches.
Full change log:
- Fixed: Shortlists weren't saving
- Fixed: Windowed resolutions should now default to the upper left part of a computer screen
- Fixed: League and team news wasn't deleting after a period of time
- Fixed: Benjamin Button code meant players didn't decline with age
- Fixed: Set hard age retirement cutoff at 45
- Fixed: Coaches were not retiring properly
