Major Game Running Speed Improvement

Image

After months of intensive work by our programmers on optimizing game based on the feedback in this post: viewtopic.php?f=14&t=7197, we are pleased to announce that this version features Major Game Speed Improvements.

Our programmers have painstakingly reviewed and optimized key areas of the programming code and have even gone to great lengths to achieve the performance targets by rewriting the code when necessary. The result is a performance increase of over 50% on average, and possibly up to 100% faster in late games with numerous firms.

We believe that this version would resolve most of the game slowdown issues that have been reported.

New Interfaces
1) The toolbar at the left of the screen and the bottom menu bar have been completely redesigned, giving them a modern look.

Image

2) Added [+][-] buttons at the left and right ends of each slider, for increasing and decreasing the value more precisely.

New Feature for Banking and Finance DLC
Venture Capitalists
Venture Capitalists with billions of net worth will join the game when this feature is enabled.

Venture Capitalists only invest in companies in pre-IPO rounds. They are committed to long-term investments and do not actively trade stocks.

For details, please see: https://www.capitalismlab.com/banking-d ... pitalists/

New Scenarios for Digital Age DLC
3 New scenarios for Digital Age DLC. (2 more are planned in the next major version 6.7.00.)

Image

Modding Improvement
The upper limit of product types has been increased from 820 to 900.

Layout Plan Library
New feature: Separate Layout Plan Libraries for MODs

Since a Mod may have a vastly different set of products than the standard game, the game now uses a file structure that maintains a separate Layout Plan Library for each Mod that you have played. The way layout plans are now organized allows for much easier search and management of layout plans when playing Mod-enabled games.

For details, please see: https://www.capitalismlab.com/improveme ... ries-mods/

Image

Audio Improvements
1) Improved sound effects for the event trackers.
2) Additional music tracks and improved music playback quality.
3) The ability to play custom music files. For details, please read readme.txt in “Music” subfolder under the game folder or read this post: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=7768

Manager’s Guide Improvement
The Manager’s Guide now has two categories of content: 1) the information about business functional units in the 3x3 layout as in the previous version and 2) a new category called “Tips”. Currently it only has a couple topics. We will be adding more topics to it in future updates.

New Script Variable
A new script variable:
Brand Strategy=<Corporate Brand/Range Brand/Unique Brand>

Use this line to set the player corporation’s brand strategy to a specified strategy in the beginning of the game.

AI Improvements
After an AI corporation has been in operation for a few years, the AI will stop using pre-defined layout plans with multiple products in factories and solely use wild-card layout plans with settings of only one product per factory.
The idea was discussed in this post: viewtopic.php?f=14&t=7483

Thanks for the update :)

The music similar to the video of the intro of Capitalism 2 brings back memories :)

经过了前期测试和等待,〖金融帝国实验室〗(Capitalism Lab)官方重大版本更新——V6.6.00终于如期发布!

首先对Enlight Software游戏开发商及制作团队近一段时间以来辛勤测试与优化改进所付出的努力表示由衷的感谢!

同时,也特别感谢尊敬的大卫先生,一直以来在官方论坛给予玩家所提出的各种意见建议的积极回应与重视吸纳,并使之融合进游戏当中,充分尊重了玩家的合理选择!

V6.6.00是继V6.5.00(2020.06.05发布)后,两个半月时间里,官方又一次重大版本更新。此次更新“重点突出、内容丰富、操作性强”,使得CapLab的游戏性得到进一步增强!也使得CapLab作为“第一商科经模PC游戏”的地位更加稳固!

高度拟合经济、金融、产业、企业管理及资本市场等现实要素——“寓教于乐,启迪财商”始终是CapLab不断追求的目标! :D

Confirmed: the file generated by the software goes like a charm.


Unfortunately I have a problem with "King of Capitalism".

I "pass" these goals when I start a game without activated DLC, with Subsidiary, but I don't have the rewards

Why does the game need 2 shortcuts to the goals screen ?

One on the top left Menu
One to the right of the cash figure


Also - is there any way to make the UI bigger, i struggle to read it now, especially the game speed setting.
