Default GTW buy mode stuck new items glitch?
When going through buy/build mode to view new stuff, the yellow highlighted icons and the "new" message on the catalogue thumbnail entries are removed once the items have been viewed.

However, in the Skills & Activities section, the chessboard icon for "knowledge" items remains highlighted yellow, even after viewing the two new chemistry lab items.

Worse still, the card table icon for "recreation" items stays highlighted yellow, even though there are no new GTW items in that category.

Even after cache deletes and zero mods or CC, the icons are still fricking glowing yellow. They just won't quit. It's driving me batty, thinking my GTW download from Origin was glitched on install and I'm missing new items.

Is anyone else seeing this same stuck highlighted new item glitch?

Yeah, I'm having the same problem. I was actually wondering if there were objects in those categories that aren't showing up in the catalog for whatever reason.

Thanks for letting me know, Kaleva. It's not just me then. Is it the exact same categories, or are you seeing it in different buy/build mode categories? If enough people point to the exact same thing, I can take it up with EA over at the official forums.

At the least, it's just an annoying icon glitch. At worst, we could genuinely be missing important items that will scupper any advancement in the new careers.

I've been having the same problem. It's not a big deal if you're not primarily a builder, though. But if you're a builder, then, there's no option but to wait for a patch and meanwhile ignore those lights.
