But fear not--you can go to Properties -> Betas and install the legacy version, which will always be the previous update![/b] Beta v8 Features: - [b]Redid all achievement icons[/b] to have a cohesive art style. - [b]New "Number of Passengers Waiting" mapmode[/b] that colors routes based off of how many passengers are waiting at both ends. - [b]Can now load savefiles in multiplayer.[/b] - [b]Significant late-game performance optimizations[/b] Changes: - Added some more bird names. - Can now control movement and zoom speed. Thanks avalanche! - Increased the role that distance+nationality plays on passenger spawning. For example, passengers from the EU will now mostly travel within the EU, rather than a large portion of them wanting to go to the Congo. - Increased the base passenger spawn rate by 37.5%. This should boost starts in poorer regions of the world and lead to a more balanced early-game. Thanks avalanche and Bearwolf! - Returning to Main Menu will now prompt you to confirm if you have not saved the game. Thanks Bearwolf! - Reduced bandwidth usage by 14% - Reputation now affects the type of events you get. Positive reputation will make positive events more likely, while negative reputation will increase the frequency of negative events. - Airport icons on map now display region and country. - Unlock City Popup now displays country. - Inflation is slightly reduced across the board, but especially for High inflation rate. - Game will now start paused when loading multiplayer games. - A lot of refactoring happened behind the scenes. This helps make sure that the game is in a good place for future features and additions. - Nerfed the range of the Sawtelle Micro. - Rebalanced Unlock City and Well-served Routes quarter goals. - Faraway cities now unlock more often. - Made Expand to Region Quarter Goal more common. Bugfixes: - Portugal is now in Southern Europe, rather than Western Europe. - Fixed a bug where unlocked airports would carry over between games. - Fixed a bug where windows would open in weird places if you changed the UI scale mid-game. - Fixed a bug where you cannot play Singleplayer after playing Multiplayer, or vice versa, without restarting the game. - Fixed being able to click on Perk Badges to upgrade perks even when perks were already at maximum level or when you did not have any Puffin Tokens. - Fixed issue where Airplane Marketplace would sometimes not open. Thanks avalanche! - Fixed bug where the number of cities you have already unlocked in a region would not be taken into account when deciding which region to target for a Expand to Region quarter goal. - Will no longer develop airports in cities literally right next to your existing cities (min. dist is now 175km) - The amount of money you get on new quarters is now adjusted for inflation.
