Resaving of game
Status: Looking into this

Adding a subsidiary makes the game crash
Status: Identified the issue to be related to threading

Invisible runways and destinations on airport page
Status: Identified the issue still missing a fix

Resaving of game has to do with game variables, sometimes when a variable changes without the game consent it crashes otherwise it saves just fine.

I will create a fix pack as soon as I have ensured that the fix where some users can't start the game is ok

i suggest for the next two releases you guys focus on patching bugs
new features can wait
this way the game has a guaranteed takeoff

As far as I know, alpha versions are usually for creating all the major new features for the game, while fixing major bugs.
Beta phase is for minor features, bug fixing, and performance improvements.

I guess we can split into a stable release and an experimental version.

i gave this suggestion because actual bugs are making it a bit impossible to spend even a day on a save before it goes corrupt

Let us see after the next patch release if we still have a lot of bugs, but for now I will not implement new features for the next 2 weeks
