As someone else mentioned, why not roll back to an earlier version of the game until OOTP Dev is able to resolve your particular issue?
You can find an older version of the game here:

Many of are loyal not because Markus is without flaws. He's certainly made some poor decisions at times in the past. They clearly made a mistake with this patch. There are features in OOTP that don't work the way I'd like, certainly. And I give my feedback and tell Markus about bugs and get annoyed when they don't get fixed as quickly as I'd like.
We're loyal because Markus has long showed, more than many many companies out there, that he wants to make a great game, he listens to feedback, and he works his butt off every year to put out a great game for his customers.
That's worth supporting even when there are snafus like this one. |
And I would add that I waited and searched for a game just like this for 20+ years. Abandoning it now because of a glitch that may require a little legwork on my part isn't even an option.
