New bugs, not especially improved – Bridge Baron Review

To begin with, you can't begin! The revised game will not reliably boot up. You press New Game or Load Game and nothing happens. Finally you press Help or Settings and it may boot up the game. Sometimes when East or West is the dealer, instead of the dealer bidding, it shows "???" like I am supposed to bid for the dealer, whose cards I can't even see. In the previous version, when you got a hand you didn't want to play, you could press a "+" or "-" sign and get a new hand. This convenient feature has been taken away. To get a new hand, you now have to go through the steps of loading a new game. When you press Hint, something turns gray, but this is not readily apparent. The Hint was more apparent in the previous version. The game is inconsistent in playing Jacoby Transfers. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. On defense, I generally want my partner to lead the suit I bid unless there is a good reason not to. The old version did NOT do this, and neither does the new one.
