And again the DLC has issues!

So.. they "fixed" the Absolute Power DLC... but not really.

1. after install the game would crash
2. per other users, I did a verify cache
a. on the main game - 33 bad files. .fixed
b. on the DLC 2 bad files - fixed
c. had to kill and restart Steam because I kept getting "cannot find the key server"

3. restarted, ran the game, all appeared to work until I went in to play
a. my buildings don't let me manage them (hire workers, block slots, change wages, see the tenants, etc)
b. saved and quit - and quit.. and quit (it never exited once I told it I was done .. never went back to main menu so I could quit).

C'mon Steam - TEST THIS STUFF!

Blame the Developer, not Steam

I blame steam because it's their deployment system that pushed the game to me earlier today - I didn't do an install request. They should've tested the game and had it tested before pushing it to me - especially after the array of problems before.

Yes - the developer might've screwed something up - but the deployment was on Steam...

Okay - solved the final piece. Loading a saved game is where the final bug comes in, so in order to get past it what I did was loaded my save (or do continue) which gets you back to the correct "island" status. However, you then must "restart" that mission (let's hope you weren't a step from done?). Now the bldgs all work as they should.!

(oh . and to get it to quit. after doing step 1 2 and 3. go back and check for cache issues a couple more times apparently. that's what solved that one!

I had exact the same problemen, even the number of bad files were the same. Nothing helped. The only solution was re-install Tropico 3. When u start it, it automatically download Absolute Power. Whatever u start, Tropico or Tropico: Absolute Power, it always start Absolute Power.

That's nice, because U can play the original campaign, with the new buildings and improvements. As well, U can do the Absolute Power campaign. So just install Tropico once again, I'm pretty sure it will work.

I noticed u did some things, that worked for u.
But oke, maybe it's more simple to just re install.

Ugh, how much more are we going to have to keep screwing with this...
