Patch 1.03 is now officially out.
Gamersgate was the first, the others will be ready soon.
Gamersgate Link to 1.03
Known Issues with the patch:
Logistics are calculated each hour instead of each day, so users may experience lower performance than 1.02. (according to tests thats about 30% slower speed)
We are working on releasing 1.04 as fast as possible with a totally new logistical calculation method.(much faster than 1.02/1.03)
