Issue with Brett Howden

Hi there,

I run into a problem with Brett Howden.
The rangers hold his rights but he is contracted to TBL.
I was waiting till july 1st but the problem didn´t resolve
Since I´m playing challenge mode i cannot edit it myself.
Should i upload my save so you can fix it?

I can fix it, but if you'd like to get it done a little faster there's a quick workaround that can enable commissioner mode long enough to make the edit:

-start a new game, turn commissioner mode on, then save the game
-in your existing save folder (Blueshirtbanter.lg in this case), find the file gamesettings.dat and temporarily rename it to gamesettings.bak
-then go to the save folder of the new game you created, copy game_settings.dat from it into the other save
-then open that save, and you'll be in commissioner mode and can edit Howden. Do NOT attempt to continue the game at this point, just save as soon as you finish editing.
-exit the game and delete game_settings.dat (i.e. the one you copied in) from the save folder, and re-rename your old game_settings.dat back to game_settings.dat.

Restart the game, load the save, and you'll be back to Challenge mode with the edits saved.
