Sorry to be this quick with an error :(

Got the error as shown in the picture below.
Just started teh new challenge game, setup a farm, a HQ, a factory and a shop. Issued more shares and took a loan in between.
The shop is already selling leather wallets.

Went to stockmarket, wanted to buy up own corporation stock, i hit the buy button and upon clicking the "ok" button i got the error.

I restarted the game, loaded the challenge, buying right away stock... same error.
Started a new custom game, then same error when buying stock.

Just a fyi (if important) my caplab installation is not on d:\ but on f:\

Its best to delete everything including the config/gameset files too, not just the saves as sometimes the settings have changes and old settings can crash the game.

The programmer also just found the bug and has fixed it:

Here is the updated v1.951 with the bug fix:

On a separate note:

What are the differences between this challenge game and previous challenge games?

-It is no longer possible to play the same game more than once in an attempt to achieve a higher score. You only have one chance. We think this will make the challenge game system fairer, as not all people have time to play the game more than once.

-Scores are uploaded to the server every year as opposite to every 5 years.

-It is more difficult to speculate on the stock market and make a huge profit. Supposedly, it would be a fairer game for those who do not trade stock so often.
