Hello fellow tycoons!

Thank you to everyone who has played Rise of Industry 2 since its release. We’re really humbled by your positive comments and we’re excited to see more players begin their entrepreneurial journey! We are aware of some issues that players are facing and we are pleased to confirm that Update 1.02 is now live and includes several important fixes and improvements alongside yesterday’s hotfix.

Here’s what we have fixed since the game’s release:

• Fixed a bug where contracts could no longer be created or changed.
  
• Autosave's are now permanent, and will no longer be overwritten when changing scenarios.
  
• The default graphics setting is now "High" rather than "Highest" to help with performance on some older GPUs.
  
• Frank's mission in Cleveland now correctly grants you the sulfur deposit he mentions (NOTE: this will not work on saves made before the 1.02 update).
  
• Expanded lumber loading facility visuals have been updated to match the regular lumber loading.
  
• Highway and access road positions were incorrect in some expanded loading facilities and have now been corrected.
  
• The logo has been changed to display on utility facilities outside of the region border.
  
• A few environmental decoration changes were made in the deluxe edition Vaporville sandbox map.
  
• Some text changes and typos have been cleaned up.
  

We’re continuing to monitor feedback and are committed to making ongoing improvements. If you have any other bugs to report, please do so in the Discord server so the devs can address the issues as quickly as possible.

Your support, feedback and patience have been invaluable as we work to refine and improve the game post-launch, thank you.
