Hello, friends!
We're ready with the first patch for EA 0.7 (out of experimental). Thank you for all your bug reports. Keep them coming! ????
The drop in sales
Unfortunately, a lot of players experienced up to 50% fewer customers/sales in their businesses after switching to 0.7. The reason for this is while we worked on 0.7, we found a bug in the way we calculate customers per hour which effectively ignored the building's limitation.
This led to unrealistically high incomes for those businesses, so it had to be fixed. The mistake was really that we introduced this change to existing savegames, instead of only new savegames. This patch will fix that, so all of you, existing players, will continue having the same high volume of customers.
Moving forward, we'll start increasing the time the update spent in "experimental" so we hopefully catch things like this in the future before releasing it to the public branch.
Changelog:
- Fixed sudden drop in sales for some existing savegames
- Reduced energy consumption by gym equipment by 50%
- Fixed various font/text issues
- Fixed lighting issues in IKA
- Fixed issue causing players to get stuck when doing various activities
- Fixed bug causing some players not being able to access Factory Supply Depot
- Fixed bug with overlays not updating after exiting a vehicle
- Allow using AutoTow while indoor
- Fixed issue causing some players not to advance in time
- Rescued vehicles stuck after new IKA parking
- Fixed inaccessible pull-up bar in IKA
- Fixed customer queues pointing the wrong direction
- Fixed issue causing some players to get stuck/unable to move
Thanks again for the feedback and encouragement, we'll keep improving!
