Capitalism 2 and Capitalism Lab Forum

not sure it matters much but when i launch the game the new splash screen isnt centred

Tested out the new 11.0.87 installer, and my symptoms are identical to before. No changes.
No "Enlight Software" logo appears when the application launches after login, and as soon as I click on anything that starts to load a game, I get the "decompress image error" crash.

I'm puzzled why I experience this, but others do not.
One guess is that it could be that I'm running in non-standard resolutions. I play the game scaled up to make sure the UI isn't too small, and I'm also running 150% UI scaling on my Windows 11 Desktop

I reverted the download link to the previous version 11.0.86 for the time being. We will release a new version in the coming week fixing this issue.

I can confirm that it works! The game loads up correctly with the new startup logo displaying, and I can load and start a new game with no trouble.

Since 11.0.92 any purchase unit doesn't show the demand bar...

tryed it with Real World 14.7

Don't know if I'm doing something wrong...

Actually the dev team has streamlined the display of the purchasing unit by only displaying the supply bar in v11.0.92. This makes it easier to understand at a glance. i.e. when the supply bar is full, it means that all the demand is met. When the supply bar is partially full, you know that the demand is not fully met. In the previous versions, new players found it a bit difficult to understand when both supply and demand bars are displayed.

If you have different opinions on this, please let me know and I will forward your comments to the dev team.

I also updated to the patch log to include this.

Thank you!

I didn't see it like this... i preffered the old way... I could immediately see that they are missing textiles to produce the jackets.

But you don't have to change it for me. I'll get used to it.

J'ai un problème pour jouer au jeu. Je ne suis pas capable d'aller plus loin que le menu de départ. L'application fige et le sablier apparaît et quand je clic ça apparaît la page de wondows pour demander si je veux faire fermer l'application ou attendre.

Please be informed that when games cannot be started from the Capitalism Lab main menu, it could be due to connection problems with the game server.

Are you using any anti-virus software that runs in background? If so, there is a possibility that the firewall of such anti-virus software or Windows Defender may be blocking the game’s communication with the game server. You may check your anti-virus software’s user manual for how to add Capitalism Lab to one of its approved apps to avoid being blocked by the firewall.

For example, if you are using Avast, you can add Capitalism Lab’s EXE file “CapMain.exe” into Avast’s exception list (white list) to prevent it from blocking the game.

For instructions about how to whitelist a file in Windows Defender, please see:
https://www.makeuseof.com/how-to-whitel ... -defender/

Please make sure that you add “CapMain.EXE” (the main program) instead of “CapStart.EXE” (the game launcher) to the exception list.
