Did your savegame break? That's expected in development. But fear not--you can go to Properties -> Betas and install the legacy version, which will always be the previous update!
Beta v8
Features:
- Redid all achievement icons to have a cohesive art style.
- New "Number of Passengers Waiting" mapmode that colors routes based off of how many passengers are waiting at both ends.
- Can now load savefiles in multiplayer.
- Significant late-game performance optimizations
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.
