Create a banner for your MOD.

• The banner image should be in PNG file format.

10) Added shortcut CTRL-S key to quick-save the current game into “QuickSave.SAV” file.

Good job, dev team.

I find a new problem about the localization file: <game_root>/Translate/t_game.txt can't be load.
Should I move all translate content to translate/translate.txt ?

Congrats on 2.7 David & Team.

The bug has been fixed. Please download the patch from http://www.capitalismlab.com/forum/view ... =10&t=2541

Thank you for keep updating this game!

I'm having a problem. There is no Mod folder within the installed 2.7 Where do we place the MOD files in order to load them for the game?

Please create a MOD folder on your own on Windows Explorer.

p.s. The latest v2.7.02 installer has this problem fixed and it will create the MOD folder.

Ok, so i tried to download the most recent version and google chrome marked it as a malicious software. Could you guys verify if it is a false alarm?

I paid the game, registered my account, downloaded and installed the the newest version 2.7.11 but the SHIFT + 6789 ingame cheat isn't working.
I'm playing it on a laptop.

Please try typing these 4 special characters in a row "^&*(" for activating the cheat mode.
