Hello and good day!
We've got another small patch for our ambitious friends!
Mac Users
First up - if you're a Mac user that's been dealing with the issue of launching to a black/grey/green or flickering screen, we have a workaround! If not, then skip to the Changelog section!
The issue seems to be related to video memory while launching the game, and launching the game in windowed mode seems to fix it.
We're still looking into a more permanent solution, but this fix should get you into the game again! Please let us know if you're still having trouble after this or have any new information, so we can get things working for you!
Mac Workaround
- Right-click on Big Ambitions in Steam and go to "Properties"
- In the "General" tab, in the "Launch Options" section, type "-windowed" (picture above)
- Launch the game and it should launch in windowed mode, and not flicker!
Based on player reports, you should be able to resume fullscreen after launching!
- Go to the "Options" menu, in-game
- In the "Graphics" tab, click the toggle for fullscreen! (picture below)
Changelog
- Fixed issue causing some businesses to not recognize cash registers or shopping baskets
- Fixed memory leak while browsing blueprints, which could cause crashing
- Fixed MarketInsider showing a negative number of providers for products being sold
- Fixed issue making it impossible to recruit candidates
- Fixed issue causing rent and marketing to be $0 [list]
- Note: It might take a few days for them to start appearing again
Note: We're aware that rivals are still sometimes sending messages after being defeated. We're talking to them about that and will get them to quit soon!
And a quick tease on the status of EA 0.6: Early testing is going well and we're about to start polishing the update soon!
Stay tuned through July for more information on when we'll begin EA 0.6 Experimental Branch Testing!
