When I try to exit the game, my firewall detects an outgoing attempt to reach some survey website. I'm not interested in having any games I play go on the net for anything, so I told it to always deny.

Now I can't get the game to shut down. It freezes on the menu and I have to ctrl+alt+dlt to shut the game down. Which wasn't so bad.

Last time I had the game on I made a lot of changes. Put my little guys on different jobs and found a few new collectibles. Turn the game on again, and everything I did on the last run is gone. I can only assume something isn't saving properly since I'm having to exit the game through the Windows Task Manager.

Any help would be appreciated. Is there something I can change or delete to prevent he game from trying to access the internet?
