with regards to mouse sensitivity adjustment...

It seems that while the sensitivity slider does work, on the full left position my mouse is super slow, all the way to the right position and it's unbearably fast, somewhere in the middle seems about right *except* that there seems to be some strange mouse pointer acceleration going on.

I can find a position that makes it comfortable to use the mouse and it makes it feel more like it does in windows but the more that I move the mouse the faster it starts to move, it's like turning up the pointer acceleration options in the mouse control panel for Windows. So I start to move the mouse and it's okay, but then all of a sudden it starts moving much faster which of course makes it very imprecise.

The option "Support private companies and the ability to stage a turnaround after the player's company is taken over by AI."
Similar. Earlier, I hadnt thought it to be as important, but with the more recent changes, to the game, its become more important to me
I have just finished posting the suggestion

Although I can see why this was done, to stop the exploits, Ive always liked to buy all the shares back at the beginning.

I would like to suggest (The suggestion has been made before) that at the beginning, when setting up your game, that the "Starting Capital" influences how much the players starts off with. The player can then decide when to start their company (Or they could invest it instead before starting a company) and how much outside investment they want, up to either x4 or x5 of their contributed capital.

I will create a thread in the suggestions forum about this and in more detail

Kudos for the adjustment. The hard "never" setting is too extreme.

at 1.981

there is 3 very signification change catch my eyes!!

1. the updated is more encourage manufacturing and farming compare with the previous edition

2. Media firm super profit is dead , or i can said media industry is the industry burning your cash and profit, dont try to open any media firm !!i spend on a tv station at Chicago (4m population)it lose $$ at least 20 years. because the 1.981 edition to encourage all the computer have some radio or newspaper , it take the fact is oversupply .

it turns out all media firm ai holding is losing money . and ai company never cut lose!!

3. PB ratio is extreme high , when economic state is "BOOM" , everyone should catch up this chance to either issues shares or sell some of stock ! for me as an example . my company trade at PB ratio 2.98 , i have 5 billions at stock hold at other company and contain 12 farm and 33 retail store( all is livesstock product ---meat and egg only ). the farm and retail business can bring me 48m profit per year

so the calculation is my company now is worth 15.1 b now, so it means now in the stock market , there is investor valued my operation worth 10 billions dollars!

10 b to buy a business which can bring you 48m per year!! so if you were me, what you will do ? ? ? ^_^

of course , catch up to sell the shares !

after 3 years from the "boom" states, my business is making 91m per year but the market value of my business unit only worth for 400 m ( my company worth 2.8b now, with 1.7b stock holding, and 700m cash)
