Working for me, for a certain definition of "working". Escape closes the game instantly and I can't figure out how to save. A lot of the menus seem to be inaccessible (War, Science, Emperor Data, etc), all I can see is Astrographic and Intel. I can't figure out how to turn any sort of profit - while many planets can make a minor profit on their own, lots of others are heavily in the negative and my treasury tanks within seven turns or so. I'm not sure that being able to issue only one order per month is enough. Maybe one order per system or something, but there's so many things that seem to need doing ASAP and I can't keep up.
So I'm completely lost, which is how I feel trying to play most of Paradox's titles
