• I've replaced the font rendering system in the game, so texts will be clearer everywhere. I also changed the map fonts at the same time. You've asked for dark fonts with white borders for better readablity, so you've gut it.
  
• I've implemented a piechart mouse hover over the pop-up window, which helps you to read the piechart. So now you know the exact values behind the charts.
  
• On the Site Manager screen, the department update buttons are color-coded.
  
• Sometimes huge false numbers appeared on the Computer Release Tab and on the Market Info Screen. Fixed
  
• You've got a profit from yesterday field on the Release tab, telling you how much profit this computer made yesterday (remember that a single profitable computer, doesn't mean that your whole company is profitable, because not all costs are included there - but i definiely helps you to see if a computer is profitable or not.)
  
• When you set a discount so low tha taccording to the average costs you make a loss on it, then the parciular profit field on the pricing screen will turn into red.
  
• I've put buttons on the map screen to zoom in and out. Not really because they are so useful, but this way people will realize that actually they CAN zoom in and out (and will see the hint for the shortcuts, too).
  
• Since the last update, the tech tree did not add all the required techs automatically to the tech queue when you added one manually from a later point of the tech tree – only the first requirement. Fixed.
  
• I've added a new line on the Loan screen showing the “Incremented Capital Dept”, so players won't misunderstand what happens when they increase their current loan.
  
• There were visual issues on the Computer Release Tab's data showing under given circumstances huge numbers.
  
• You can archive hardware parts by pressing the DEL button on the Hardware List.
  
• I've fixed an issue around automatic loan repayment (sometimes the installments never stopped)
  
• When your loan was paid back down automatically (so not manually by you), then you couldn't get another loan again. Fixed
  
• Fan and Economy Statistics piecharts were slightly inaccurate. Fixed
  
• Research tree navigation can be done using WASD
  
• I've set default discount percent values (the ones from the tutorial), so players won't miss actually setting them. But of course, you can change them freely to your values.
  
• When you polished a computer there will be only one sound notification about it, after that you get only messages about it in the notification window.
  
• There is a new tech which adds premium lighting to given hardware parts.
  
• The accessories list has got a NONE/ALL button
  
• I've increased the size of the research window, so it has a bigger description panel for better readability.
  
• I've updated the tutorial with a few recommendations from the community.
  
• The notification balls are now animated, so people will more likely notice them.
  
  
  
  
  

• I've created an extra little window that you can use to compare hardware pieces. On the hardware list, you can click on “Compare” to put 3 hardware on that window showing the data you can see in the list. So when you design new hardware, you can compare its values to these.
  
• There was a serious issue that I couldn't solve for a long time now. Unity has a design problem with async scene loading and activation, so I had to build my own incremental loading system for the game – so the loading time is faster and more importantly, it will never become unresponsive, so from now on Windows won't think that the game is frozen, while in reality, it is not, it is just loading. Earlier those who were impatient on the blue loading screen and started to click around could have thought that the game is frozen. I'm happy to tell you that it is not a problem anymore.
  
• There was a serious and tricky error around market data. The bug appeared on player's computers whose language was set to Turkish (so we are talking about Turkish players obviously). They could see countries with zero population or other issues. Fixed
  
• Unity games have a hard time with malfunctioning and poorly calibrated gamepads connected to your computers – because they can interfere with the game without you realizing that they are plugged in and they have problems. I've managed to create a workaround, so from now on Computer Tycoon doesn't have a problem with this anymore.
  
• Country border changes slowed down the game too much earlier, also when the USSR collapsed there was a map color issue. Now the changes are much faster, and there is no problem with map coloring after the USSR collapses.
  
• There is a counter (0/2) on the accessories button so that you can quickly see whether you have something there to add or not.
  
• I've decreased the sales coming from the Fans (and increased the sales coming from other groups) for the computers too (earlier I've done that for hardware parts) – the balance was not right.
  
• I've reduced the importance of low heat for workers by 70%.
  
• From now on you cannot click on the CREATE button until you don't have all the necessary techs to create that given hardware type. If you hover over the hardware adding a field on the Computer Designer Screen, the game also notifies you, and the illustration is dark red.
  
• After you used the TAB button to move between discount fields, the speed buttons were activated by pressing 1,2,3. Fixed
  
• On the Computer Customers Screen the percent values were inaccurate, also I've altered how the cheapskate's computer preference works. It is a combination of value for the money and the lowest price tag (per economy level), and I've altered it to focus less on the lowest price tag and more on value for the money).
  
• “Sometimes when you check the hardware of the opponent, and then you create your own, it gets the name of the opponent's hardware.” Fixed.
  
• “You can attach density techs to a hardware that already has a bigger capacity (than the tech).” Fixed
  
• There was a bug that you could abuse to get SSD density tech sizes for HDD prices. Fixed
  
• From now on when you don't have a factory yet the manufacturing cost indicator will show a question mark.
  
• “The "show outdated technology" checkbox can be inconsistent when I'm going through and upgrading a bunch of parts at once. Sometimes it'll be on, sometimes off.” Fixed
  
• I've improved the scrolling sprite on the hardware tech list.
  
• “Whenever I have any hardware window open, and I see "No research in the queue!" and click the message to pop open the research queue, it shows up underneath the windows I'm looking at and I have to close them to go over to research.” Fixed
  
• The small icons on the research queue got tooltips, too.
  
• “If I'm moving a technology up and down through the research list, and hit spacebar to unpause the game, it also automatically pushes that button and tries to move the tech one more space.” Fixed
  
• Some people were confused that given sliders were shown, but they were not interactive until you've got the necessary techs. For example the CPU cache or MEMORY multiplier etc. From now on, these sliders won't even appear until you have the necessary techs. This way people won't think that they are not working only because of a bug.
  
• “On the Research Tree Screen, if you click on the "Market List" button, the side menus (Research Details and Compatibility) disappear even tho they shouldn't.” Fixed
  
• On motherboards the "ISA Bus" to "MCA Bus" technologies reacted to each other inconsistently. Fixed
  
• The date format didn't match on the Computer List and on the top left Main Menu. Fixed
  
• PCI-Express didn't give its speed value to Mobos as Feature (just like the other parts do). Fixed
  
• There were small issues around what techs appear on the hardware tech list while you design new hardware parts. For example, there is no reason behind magnetic stuff or HDD density to appear, when you are already designing an SSD, or Floppy bay sizes when you are working on a Pendrive, etc. So I've tried to improve on that aspect.
  
• I've increased the sizes of those fields which were showing DPP and PP values at various places because they didn't have enough.
  
• When you changed between your and your opponents' computers it could have happened that you couldn't check the tabs after the Pricing TAB. Fixed
  
• When a market became communist, the map and the market list could show you or other earlier sellers from the market still being active there (with their color). Fixed
  
• The flag of Yugoslavia was incorrect. Fixed
  
• Sometimes, on some windows if you pressed Space, the window closed itself. Not anymore.
  
• 3DPrinters won't be researched too early by the AI IF the player hasn't researched it too.
  
• I've increased the cost of the battery and power tech lines.
  
• The Wall Of Gratitude won't open again when you just go back to load a game again. It will appear only when you start the game.
  
• Some didn't realize that on the Avatar Chooser Screen you actually have to click
  
• From now on if you press the ESC button, it will close the most upper active window – just like it works in Paradox games.
  
• The Space key does not only stop the game but if you press it again, it will set the speed back to the previous speed.
  
  

• Now you can archive Hardware parts by selecting them and hitting DEL. This makes archiving much faster than before
  
• You can leave the PC Hardware Price field on 0. If you do so, then this Hardware Part won't be sold separately.
  
• I've decreased how much fans buy in general, and I've increased the overall interest in hardware parts. Interestingly nobody reported it, but the numbers coming from the fans (we talk about hardware sales), was the source of that extreme amount of buyers. By decreasing it, I actually had to increase the general interest in hardware parts.
  
  
• There was a bug that caused huge DPP fluctuation coming from Hardware parts. The fluctuation was as big as jumping from 7m DPP to 300m DPP (in combination with other circumstances). A steady increase or decrease is okay, or even bigger drops, but this was indeed a nasty bug. Fixed. Thanks, Emran for your saved game, it helped a lot!
  
• The CompDeals Magazine gave too low scores, even when you offered the cheapest products. The algorithm was fixed behind it. I also lowered the weight of having the "cheapest" product - for cheapskates.
  
• The ordering function was not working on the Research Queue properly. Fixed.
  
• You reported that sometimes given late-game techs (such as EFI) appeared at the AI players. While it is possible to get techs earlier than they were invented IRL, it was indeed a bug. Fixed.
  
• When you switched from the Tech Tree screen to the World Map the Research Details window didn't disappear, it was just covered by another window. Fixed.
  
• The Market-share History window appeared at the bottom of the screen - instead of at its place. Fixed.
  
• The RDRAM tech had way too overpowered stats. It is true that RDRAM should have been the next big thing, but eventually wasn't. Its values wanted to reflect this, but something just went wrong. Fixed.
  
• You were able to select both SSD and HDD density techs for Storage at the same time. And there were other problems here, too. Fixed.
  
• The connection between sites and markets (where you build and where you sell) has changed, therefore I had to change the filters on the market list, too.

How much time does it require?

But again how much time do you need?

Mod Support

• There was a bug that caused your right upper indicators to stop working (while the date was still counting). It could have happened to you when you deleted a personal computer. Also, for some, during that frozen period the money went into the negative because you couldn't see what's going on. Fixed.
  
• Sometimes multiple lines were highlighted when you opened the hardware list, most often when you've just created new hardware or when you changed the filters. Fixed.
  
• There was a tricky bug... when you created a given type of computer and then you copied another type of computer, then when you wanted to replace the parts of this new (copied) computer's parts, the filters were auto-selected to the previous computer's design type, and you couldn't change it. Fixed.
  
• Fixed typos and text corrections (all that I've found in on the forums)
  

Game Difficulty

New Technologies

• New hardware technologies for OS, STORAGE, and POWER SUPPLY
  
• Updated AI
  
• You can delete saved games inside the game
  
• The LP window was changed to use button "A" instead of "ENTER" to set 1LP and autoclose
  
• The Market List's buttons were adjusted so that a double click opens the LP window instead of the site-building window. etc.
  
• You can remove hardware parts from your Computer Design (before you start testing it)
  
• The red line graphics glitch between elements is removed
  
• There was a bug showing incorrect user-group percent numbers on the market survey screen - fixed, too.
  
• There was a but concerning research prices between multiple game loads - fixed.
  

• I've replaced the background of the research tree and I've replaced the status icons with color-coding. It gives a clearer look.
  
• I've decreased the overall generated DPP and also the demand for Hardware parts. (it might not be enough, but it is the first step)
  
• I've made AI opponents stronger on Normal, Hard, and Very Hard. Obviously, it is the strongest on Very Hard. (yet again, it might be not enough against the best players... but it is the first step)
  
• I've decreased the maximum Loan you can get to 10+20 from 20+50, On the other hand, I've increased the starting money.
  

• I've corrected many typos. Please keep them coming! (special thanks to Trifler again!)
  
• Sometimes you were able to move out panels from their place on the Computer Designer screens. Fixed.
  
• The marketing department had a text floating out from a window. Fixed.
  
• On Ultra Wide resolution the starting screen had a black part on the right side. Fixed.
