Seems like an audio bug on PC when the short selling tutorial starts. Another sound track abruptly starts and is at a louder volume than usual.

Edit: further along the game I'm starting to receive multiple pictures of a living room. Not sure if that's intentional lol

I also bought a house and invited the co-workers but the cut scene still mentioned apartment

Cutscene for reaching Associate level talks about the option of celebrating the promotion, but I already closed the computer session and didn't plan anything.

It seems that if I'll get to the goal sooner than the alloted number of days, the game goes haywire with storyline. I've made the money for first competition in 2 days, and got the promotion. Still, she was fired two days after, when I was getting close to the next promotion. Similar - when I was in contest for the VP (with the lady in white suit?) I've allready got call from the boss about no-holds barred competition with him (public opinion not mattering for 2 days). Also being on the never ending competition with him, I was getting everyday a call from IT guy about the virus, database and intern (which was already resolved many days ago).

Hello, we've had a few reports of a strange save issue affecting a small number of people. We're looking into it and will work on a fix asap. If you experience it, sharing the following info would be very useful to be able to identify a fix.

What is the install path of the game?

Does it contain a "Saves" folder containing numbered folders? If yes, it'd be great if you can share the details

Please also send the .log files that are situated here:

C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\LocalLow\Power Struggle Games\The Invisible Hand

To retest the saving feature, use the Finish Career button and the first save will happen at the beginning of first day at FERIOS, after the interview. After that, the games saves at the end of every day.

Thank you in advance :)

High bids are processed very slow.
E.g. when I long Aqua stocks with 50M transaction is processed for several hours. In the end I can't react fast enough when market changes and I have to sell it quickly. I can cancel buy option to press sell, but sell will also take a long time to finish.

Not sure if this is a bug.

The 2nd trader you go against teaches you shorting a stock.

So on my second play through I shorted early and saw a chance to make some money. Then I sold that short and waited a few hours knowing the Oil jump was coming later. Well I ended up Long buy a ton of Oil early thinking that was the rock bottom price but over the next hour it dropped losing me 100k.

But I still knew the jump was coming so I held my Long. Price dropped and then immediately started to jump and the conversation with the 2nd trader starts where she says she helped you sell your short. Funny part was I didn't have a short I had a Long and she actually sold the Long.

I realized after the phone call my long was sold right when it started to skyrocket by the 2nd trader. So overall..... she lost me 115k selling my Long instead of my Short.

Hey guys! I have a bug, when i start the game, it shows the dev and publisher logos, but then it shows some kind of Unity Particle System test and it stays right there. I didnt have any chance of really playing the game yet cause of this!

In general we'll work on scenario bugs and performance first, then on a balancing patch, coming in the next weeks thanks for the helpful reports everyone!

Same here, it just takes way too long to sell

Strange bugs with the item inventory. When clicking on certificates that are in residences when sorted by category will make the inventory list jump to a different item (seems like it's going to it's spot in the all category)

Switching between categories after a couple of times and the bottom half of my inventory list was highlighted.

Screen keeps shaking/jumping when sitting in the interrogation room with the agent.

I just managed to reach the MD target by overachieving the VP target at same time. No promotion to MD happened so far.

I posted a public screenshot of that achievement.

In a post-story save, I end up getting >1,000,000,000 Billion at the end of the day. The evaluation ends of giving me managing director and then puts another managing director milestone at 5 million which is then achieved and repeats this until seemingly it counts to the Total (I say seemingly since increments by 5 million was going to take awhile to reach 1,000,000,000 Billion). Anything I do after that, be it selecting "Go home" early, "Organize party", etc., just loads to the next day were I have no control and the screen stays black. It saves for the next day, but trying to exit the game and re-loading the save just turns the screen black while presumingly keeps me the in menu office (I can tell I can move in this case since the menu office's clock rings at different volumes as I try to walk around).

Edit: If I let the game just count the money in 5 millions, the time reaches 24:00 and automatically starts the next day. Even when it does this, the game goes black again, but the audio for counting the money and reaching the next milestone continues to play over the rest of the office ambient noise.
