Steam & Steel Railway Tycoon

Sorry for the waitThis patch took far too long.The "time doesn't progress" bug was reported months ago, and I couldn't get a fix out until now. Thanks to everyone who described the issue in detail in the comments. Without those clues — especially the accounting period and the train crash — I would never have found the cause.Here it is.The game freezingFixed the main issue: when a modifier round came up, the game paused while waiting for a card selection window that was never shown.

The icon bar remains accessible while a window is open.A top bar keeps your cash, reputation, resources, and time controls visible at all times, with the minimap available from a dropdown.The map legend and active events have been moved to a corner so they no longer cover your railway network.Trains and performanceTrains are now rendered at your screen's native resolution. They previously looked pixelated onc...
