For those of you with TotalGaming.net subscriptions (or pre-orders who downloaded the game) we have an updated 1.01 build.  This is probably not going to be the "official" 1.01 patch still but it has some changes in it that I think you'll like.

Fixes:

• The default stance problems have been fixed. Now you can’t create a character with 0 in a characteristic.
• Bush and Kerry’s experience and stamina are the same
• Spelling error in Withdrawal
• 2 Directors no longer provides 3 ads. The director effect will only happen once no matter the number in state.

Enhancements:

• Allow chatting during election sequence.
• Added Port# text to find game screen
• Added CTRL-D to dump state data from the active state

Big thanks to those of you who pushed on the "Why is Carter beating me" thread since it turned out that they were right - something had changed between the retail and 1.01 on the calculating.  This should be what the doctor ordered.
