New Impulse patch is up. It fixes your issues.
THANK YOU!!!! I verified all 3 bugs have been fixed and the game is playable again. Again, I apologize for my OP tone,
it was just a triple whammy of frustration vented here with no time in between.
Maybe

, no,
certainly(!), you frustration was coming from the fact the game is sooo addictive, awesome, great, ... ,
... you can't resist to have the big wish to play further & further

!
I can understand your frustations !
Have FUN with the game and hopefully you DON'T meet any (gamebreaking) bugs anymore
