Greetings everyone,

Another hotfix for 1.25.0.11. This one fixes a crash issue with loading .car files on non-standard encoded copies of Windows, primarily Swift-JIS. I also threw in a few bug fixes listed below.

Video tutorials are going well. I am about 60% complete. At this pace, I should finish them by the end of the year, and then I can start working on full release candidates and completing the manual. This hotfix includes all video tutorials to date. You can also find them on our youtube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1Qy-Pj_RIRvRkajKTI9bsut_ZXJ6eqWn or the tutorial page on our website: www.gearcity.info/tutorials

Hotfix includes:
GUI: Length about text in main menu.
GUI: Fixed city hover popup cutting off text.
Gameplay: Enabling autoproduction now enables auto-hire and auto-wage automatically. This is done to prevent player logic issues that can cause bad gameplay.

Gameplay: Purchasing a company with low morale will improve those employee's morale somewhat.
