1.2 = stewards that can be taught much like the ones in Port Royale 2? As it stands that's pretty much a deal breaker here. I wouldn't even mind paying more for more programmable stewards vs the useless ones the current game offers, if its how effective that option from the previous game was is the issue.

Agree 100%. In addition, I think the second most pressing issue is to allow the trade screen and convoy load screen to be resized so that they all show at once without scrolling. Other than that I'm very pleased with the game, but that functionality is vital.

also, auto buy in the warehouses should be available. maybe do something about the naming; a warehouse is very confusing now.

No auto-buy is like having a car missing a wheel, sure thing, the car is in working condition, but try to do something with it....

The 1.1.0-24502 hotfix update which resolves the dual core CPU freezing issues is now released for the English retail/non-Steam download version via Kalypso Launcher.

In the top post it says there's a hotfix also available for the steam version re the the dual core freezing. Please tell me that's a typo and Kalypso acknowledge the steam launcher is rooted for most people.

That's not a typo. Steam is running the very latest version (1.1.0-24502) since release with the dual core freeze issue fixed. The Steam startup issue that some users are experiencing is unrelated and still under investigation, though. We are working closely with Steam in providing a solution as soon as possible.

I have heard that there is a steam update but do not know if I have it as I can't do anything after I click play (autoupdate is on in steam). I have heard that there is a different .exe file that you can replace and the game runs (where is that file?). Thank you for your assistance.
