Just tried the new update and it didnt fix the R&D layout plan for me. When I select say plan 4, then double click and select research on the middle section, only that section changes it does not apply the research to all others connected. Tried a new game to rule out any saved game issue.

My saved games from 2.3.05B (I think) loaded hmm....

The development team must be on some good cocoa beans.

CapLab Post-Release Beta version 2.3.06 patch is now available via auto patch.

You may also download the patch manually from: http://www.capitalismlab.com/capserver/caplab/patch/CL23062300.zip
Then extract the ZIP file to your Capitalism Lab program folder. You can open your Capitalism Lab program folder by right-clicking on the Capitalism Lab game icon and select “Properties”, then select “Open File Location” to open the Capitalism Lab program folder.

Please note that this is a patch for the post-release version and you should only apply this patch manually if you are currently using version 2.3.00 or above.

(Layout plan files from older versions are not compatible with this new version.)
