Could you send me your save game file?

You can find save game files of Capitalism Lab from:
C:\Users\<your user name>\Documents\My Games\Capitalism Lab Post-Release Beta\SAVE

And provide me with the details about why you think that the "Low Supply Tolerance" policy doesn't work - which firm you were deal with?

PM you

I found another one, if I try to start in survival mode the game crashes almost immediately:
Error on file: ilib\Box.cpp Line: 287

Should be easy to reproduce.
Again 4.4.11 Beta, with CES. No mods, no scripts
I couldn't trigger this bug.

1) Did the bug happen to you before or after showing the briefing window, as shown in the attached screenshot?

2) What screen resolution are you using? I have tried 1024x768 also but it worked well too.
Sorry, it was a false alarm. I downloaded a clean new install and now it works fine. A bit weird because I was sure I already tried that :oops:

Each AI person has a difference preference in how much they want to spend on advertising (different business management styles.)

If you are certain that it was over-spending on advertising, not the other reasons, that made the AI perform poorly, please send me your save game and I will ask the dev team to look into it.
In the screenshot above there is 84m lifetime ad spending with only 45m lifetime revenue. To be honest this is an extreme situation that happens in companies that produce Jewelry products. But on the other hand it really looks like all other AI companies exist just to provide media income. Every media company in every city has 2-3m monthly profit.

As a result the economy is not dying which is good but it still in stagnation which is bad.
Attached a screenshot from a test game I ran showing that there were far more years with economic growth in than those years in recessions. (You can click the [Lifetime] button to see the lifetime graph to get a better perspective about growth over a long period of time.)

Economic stagnation is very common in the real world for developed countries (e.g. Japan, most of the EU countries.) So the game's simulation looks fairly realistic to me.
David, I have to agree. Economy is ok. Could be better but still ok. The problem is AI Rivals who spend ridiculous amount of money on advertising. I really wish to see a game where 35-40 out of 45 rivals have profits and have stock price much higher than $10.
