Hello, thank you for the report. :) I just checked the stable version on Debian (a distro shouldn't be a problem here), and it seems like it working for me. If it is possible, could you try:
1. Download the stable version again. Maybe something was wrong during download?
2. If the above not works. Could you tell more details about your new game setting? Like faction, starting base, etc. If you change anything here. ;)
