As happens every so often, a crash on startup that affects a significant portion of players went undetected during the unstable phase.
It is related to GLFW 3.3 so we're rolling back to the previous version, which means a rare bug with multiple monitors setups is reintroduced.
Please note that the save format has changed significantly, and while old saves should convert flawlessly, please report anything unusual such as missing objects.
Patch Notes
0.26.3
Changed: Rolled back to GLFW 3.2.1 (fixes a crash).
Changed: The save format in preparation for upcoming modding options.
Fixed: You can now move objects over themselves.
Fixed: When moving shelves/displays they will keep the assigned product (but not the stock).
If you have bugs to report, please post in the appropriate Discussions: http://steamcommunity.com/app/521150/discussions/1/
