Version 12.0.10
This update features a redesigned New Game Settings menu that gives the game a more modern look.
Additions of several new display modes: 1280×800, 1470×956, 1512×982, 1680×1050, and 2560×1080. Now the game supports the majority of monitor resolutions available today.
A couple of bugs related to the Industry Expertise Only option have been fixed, including an issue with unit levels and an incorrect help message.
The Persons Report now includes two new tabs on the Wealth page, showing each person’s Bonds and Properties.
New financial metrics have been added:
• Debt to Equity Ratio
• Interest Coverage Ratio
The Corporate Details - Rankings report now shows the leader’s name for each ranking.
Added the following hotkeys for changing the “skip frames when the mouse is idle” setting:
[ - decrease by 1
] - increse by 1
{ - reset to zero
} - set to maximum (30)
Sorting for letters with accents has been refined for localized versions.
A new [Random] option has been added to the Years Between New City Emergence setting in the Experimental DLC.
When enabled, the number of years before a new city appears will be chosen randomly between the value set in “Years Between New City Emergence” and half of that value.
About Save Game Compatibility:
In the first month following the release of version 12.0, we anticipate that minor updates (e.g., v12.0.01, v12.0.02, etc.) will introduce incompatible save game formats. This means save files from an earlier minor version will not work with a later one (for example, saves from v12.0.00 will be incompatible with v12.0.01).
If save game compatibility is important to you, we recommend waiting for a more stable minor version of 12.0, typically available about one month after the initial release (expected in late January 2026).
Phasing Out the DirectDraw Option:
Several new display modes have been added, including 1280×800, 1470×956, 1512×982, 1680×1050, 1720×800, and 2560×1080. With these additions, the game now supports the vast majority of modern monitor resolutions.
In earlier versions, some players depended on DirectDraw because their native screen resolution was unavailable or the in‑game text appeared too small.
Version 12.0 also adds display scaling options for 2560×1080 and 3440×1440, ensuring that all ultra‑high‑resolution modes now offer adjustable scaling.
As a result, the DirectDraw option has been removed from the Capitalism Lab launcher in version 12.0. With improved resolution coverage and built‑in scaling, the previous limitations can now be resolved without relying on DirectDraw.
