Evil Genius 1.01 Patch

fuck me. i'm in a love hate relationship with this game. right when i was about to get on the 2nd island last night something screwed up all my save games. everytime i load them up my evil genius starts choking and dies. and then game over. Every load game.

Do we know if this makes any changes to henchmen special abilities? I know that in particular Lord Kane's Smooth Operator ability is way overpowered. When you use it on an agent, the agent stops what he/she is doing and doesn't react to anything, even fights, until the animation is complete... even if Lord Kane has to run from the other side of the island.

Now, don't get me wrong, I enjoy rendering agents helpless for the time it takes Lord Kane to run over there, and I've exploited it to power-level my other henchmen. I just wonder if they changed the behavior so that agents don't freeze and ignore everything until Lord Kane gets in range, instead of from the moment you click on them.

Grrrrrrrr they should really provide some way to convert old save games to the new version.
