icon Machine upgrades don't save correctly if you save in the same room after upgrading. (+1)  
I'm using the Windows version, tried on both v1.0.1.47 and v1.0.2.48. I'm running into the bug using these steps:

1) Purchase an upgrade at one of the upgrade machines.
2) Save the game while still in the same room.
3) Reload the save.

I've seen two different things happen as a result of this:

1) My stats (including greckles) revert to their state before purchasing the upgrade, but the cost to purchase the next upgrade will still have increased as though I kept the upgrade.
For example, the first upgrade normally costs 20 greckles, and the second upgrade 40 greckles -- if this was my first upgrade it will cost 40 greckles to upgrade again even though I did not keep the stats from the first upgrade.

OR

2) I retain the stats, but the upgrade machine increases its prices another notch.
For example, it will cost 80 greckles to purchase the second upgrade, instead of 40.


Also, in some cases I'll hear a windows system beep when I click on one of these save files in the Restore Game screen.


Edit: I just checked the drodrpg.err file, and it seems to be outputting this whenever I hear the above-mentioned system beep:
Assertion error in line 2115 of .\CurrentGame.cpp: "!bIsComplexCommand(nCommand)"

Thanks for reporting this. Game saving was buggy in this fashion for any scripted hold vars that were altered earlier in the current room play session. I've fixed this for the next build (it won't fix previously saved games hit by this bug, unfortunately).
