Hello Joel:
I did some googling on the problem and found a registry entry change, which I did prior to the update. Apparently, the problem has to do with a really exotic compatibility issue with Inkscape, which coincidentally I had installed, but didn't use (I think if it wasn't installed, I might not have had the issue). I'm retesting everything after the update. I thought I spotted one new bug which wasn't there prior to the update, but only caught a glimpse, and am not 100% sure, but I thought I saw while the Silicon mine was moving into position, it had pixel lines "bleeding" below it. Either I didn't see this before the update, or am mistaken, but will keep trying it. There's also a balancing issue I think you guys know about - i.e. at one point in the game, you will have accumulated too much of everything, and can just sell it all at once and buy out all of the other companies. Also balancing issue in terms of energy - geothermal power is rare, solar goes out every night, and wind power generates too little energy. You can also do some weird stuff like colonize as robotic, then drive water prices way up, even though robotic doesn't require water. I am hopeful more content will get added to the game - maybe even other planets. In the campaign, the AI players are too aggressive - in the final round, it was a knock-down, drag-out fight just to loose. But I think there should also be a different campaign mode - instead of an elimination, just have an odd number of locations, then whoever has the most locations wins. This makes the campaign longer and more enjoyable. To me, I like the tutorials better than the campaign, because they have specific achievements to get, rather than just fighting enemies. That might also be a suggestion for an easy-to-create new campaign (or even story) mode - i.e. maybe at a specific location, there is an aluminum shortage, and you have to maintain your settlement against natural disasters and things while trying to stockpile that amount of aluminum. Maybe you have to get more research done than others, etc.
