The seventh and final supplemental patch for version 1.24 has been released. This update focused on cleaning up some minor issues with the GUI. It also fixed several reported bugs over the last month, and a couple minor gameplay tweaks and features. I will now transition to updating the game engine. There has been some confusion in the community over this. We are not changing engines. I am merely updating some of the third party programs that make up the engine. Similar to you updating your web-browser, updating Steam, or updating the game. Many parts of GearCity's engine (Beardgine) are over 10 years old. I will be updating components of the engine, and replacing parts to allow for better long term support of the game on OSX and Linux. If all goes as planned, we'll be getting an OpenGL 3 renderer, an updated web browser, 64-bit support. Etc. The bare minimum goal is to get the OSX build up to Apple current standards. Otherwise, the OSX build will be dropped when Apple drops Carbon and 32 bit support. My goal is not to change the minimum requirements. We should still be able to support XP and up. 32 bit OSX and up, and Linux 32bit systems. Speaking of which. January 1st Steam will stop supporting XP, Vista, and OSX 10.10 and older. I would like to remind users of these operating systems that GearCity is DRM-free. While you may lose the ability to update the game from these operating system, you will still have the ability to play the game after Steam drops your support. I highly recommend users of these operating systems to switch to Linux if you are unable to upgrade. But either way, you'll still be able to play GearCity. So here is the change log: -GUI: Fixed text overlapping issues in several locations. -GUI: Fixed resize issues in several locations. -Artwork: Added more user made predesigns! Thanks everyone who submitted! -GUI: If music player is open and the song changes, the new song will be selected in the list. -Gameplay: Buying AI companies with outsourced components will now discontinue any designs with bending outsourced contracts. This will prevent orphaned designs. -Engine: Added placeholders for SaveGames and SavedCars folders so Steam will make sure you have them if you verify files. -GUI: Components now have a total production report located in the Showroom. In the future I may break this down into vehicles. -GUI: Up and Down Arrow Keys will now select the next item in lists if the list was the last item clicked. -GUI: List should no longer return to the top after doing an action on a selected item. -Bugfix: Fixed issue that was allowing players to license in development components. -Gameplay: Increased the frequency of a dividend stripping lawsuit. -Gameplay: Reduced the maximum amount of dividends to prevent financing the dividend. -GUI: Adjust dividend based on EPS is checked by default now. -GUI: Bottom bar now refreshes after purchasing a company. -GUI: Fixed a place or two where vehicle names were missing the year. -Engine: Updated OpenAL in Linux.
