Service firms gameplay balance improvements:

Improved the gameplay balance of different concerns of service products as follows: Price concern: 35%, Quality concern: 35%, Brand concern: 30%

Improved the AI at setting advertising budgets for service firms.

Local competitors’ ratings for service firm products are always lower than physical products, thus making it easier for service firms to make profits.

Hi David, I installed the Post release Beta Isntaller and after that I extracted this patch in the Capitalism Lab folder, but several errors happen.

One of them says "Error Buttonimage::create() Image name: LoadGame_n".

Could you please advise what to do?

It seems that you extracted the patch to the release version as opposite to the post-release Beta version.

Please extract the ZIP file to your post-release Beta version of Capitalism Lab program folder. You can open your Capitalism Lab program folder by right-clicking on the Capitalism Lab Post-release Beta game icon and select “Properties”, then select “Open File Location” to open the folder.

Thanks David, I haven´t seen that a new icon was created called "Post-Release". It was my fault, everything is all right.

I have found a minor bug/missfunction related with opening two windows at the same time. Open Products, Open Products detailed, and when triying to decrease prices using right-click to decrease at a higher rate closes the window. It seems that the game uses the default function of right click to close the window, instead of detecting that you are actually clicking on the second window. No problem when left-clicking.

Other than that, I love the new screen wide display and the 2 windows mode. Very good work and a real improvement of the gameplay experience.

Hi danymatrix!

You are using the spanish localisation, so i tested it in case the error was caused by the translation.

Everything is fine, so...i think that the error is caused by the Realism Mod.

Probably in this Post-Release Beta, the mod is not working properly.

A message window is blocking the game to continue.

Playing a game (Post-Release Beta 9.0.02 version) at 294% of difficulty using Spanish translation. On January 2001, just when I obtained computer technology 66, an AI corporation person (Leo Collins, CEO of United Array) made an offer to buy it. I have tried to reject it, to raise the price so that he rejects to pay that price, but the message window pops up again a few seconds after and it is not possible to keep on playing, as it pauses the game even if you minimize the message window. Tried to load a save two months before the event, and reboot my Pc, but no way.

Finally I tried to sell the technology to see if it was only a one-time issue. But a year after, when I reached technology level 94 the same happened. The same company. And few time after I decided to sell it again, to allow the game to keep on running, another offer to buy my printer technology level 115, by the same company. This AI person has expertise in Computers.
