Known Bugs / FAQ / Pricing Cheat Sheet

[David Estes Creations]

Hello fellow virtual entrepreneurs.

Build 1867 Known Issues:

• If you change any settings before starting a new game, it can cause the game to lock up. This will be fixed in the next update, but for now, start a new game prior to changing settings like volume or language control!
  
• If your new/saved games won't launch after this update, delete this file from the game folders, and it should still work until we get a proper patch out:
  lib_burst_generated.dll
  
• Audio can cut out for Mac users - seems like a known Mac system issue. Restarting the game seems to fix it.
  
  Here is a reddit thread with more information and possible solutions:
  https://www.reddit.com/r/macgaming/comments/vrzuvl/mac_mini_m1_some_games_dont_have_sound_solved/

COMMON ISSUES:

• To check for localization updates: "Options" > "Others" > Refresh Icon next to "Open Localizor"
  
• If you're stuck in person "Options" > "Others" > "Unstuck"
  
• If you're stuck in a vehicle - Call the tow Truck
  
• To use WASD "Options" > "Control" > "Controller Type" > "Controller"
  
• Right-Click to move things after placing them
  
• When ordering a pallet delivery - don't stand on the delivery location, or the delivery will fail!
  
• Every employee that is assigned to a business must be wearing a uniform - even cleaners or employees who aren't scheduled for that day
  
• Interior Designer
  
  • If you can't see "Interior Designer": "Options" > "Graphics" > "Reset Windows"
    
  • Click on Register to set Customer Queue Line
    
  • Right-Click an object to recolor it
    
  • Walls & Floors: Select a design, then "paint" it on.
• Purchasing Agent
  
  • If you set a repeating delivery, the number becomes a "target". So if you put "1000", but currently have 800 in the warehouse, it will only attempt to order 200.
    
  • Orders still need to clear the minimum purchase amount or else they won't go through
• Logistics Manager
  
  • Your Logistics Manager also delivers up to a target number (which includes any items already in the store, in storage or in display cases).
    
  • Your deliveries only happen once per day at midnight
    
  • If you don't have enough shelf space at your store, you won't get the full delivery

I was requested to Pin this for more visibility, so here it is! This steam guide I have linked has currently known bugs (and if there is a known solution) as well as some frequently asked questions and possible fixes for launch issues.

There is also a "cheat sheet" guide at the bottom with inventory location and pricing and best marketing setups, etc, if you want quick answers instead!

I ran into a savegame issue. My last save randomly deleted furniture. I went into my appartment a lot of furniture was deleted including my bed and on midnight I got messages about not beeing able to store my palletts due to storage vanishing as well. It vanishes very randomly. The last rescue save was fine so all is good. I was saving inside AJ shop.

Did you possibly miss paying your taxes? If so, they will start taking your stuff

Bug Report:
i have already sent this as an F2-ingame-report. But at that time i did not know yet, how the bug appeared.
Now i know it exactly. Here the step by step to recreate the bug:

- I have an open business
- I assigned myself to a free cash-register. So i worked toghether with one of my "worker-drones" ^^
- I skipped my shift
- The shift ended in the moment as my busines has closed at 19:00 on clock (7 PM).
- My character has left the cash register ...but... for now on she was not longer able to sprint.
My character was stuck in walking mode. The speed with that workers move.

This happens sometimes, for now if you run outside, it seems to fix it until there is a full fix!

One of my programmers, who requires a Multipurpose chair, is complaining that he doesn't have one. He does.

Hard to see what's wrong with just this text, but if the employee has the correct seat, there should be a checkmark by their demand. If you don't see it, it's possible that employee is seated at the wrong desk or something.

You could always try saving and reloading - sometimes that fixes weird UI issues. If it's still messed up, you could hit F2 and submit a bug report so we can check it out.

speaking of this, wouldn't it be better to have demands like "Executive Office Desk" or "Multipurpose Chair" be met by just having enough of them for everyone who needs them? why do we have to seat them at the right desk when it's not even possible to see which one is which?

On the Bizman > Schedule page, if you hover your mouse over the word "Computer", you can see the "attached items", which will tell you which desk and chair are there. And if you hover over the Employee's name, you can see their demands.

That's a COMPLETELY secret feature that should be shouted out somewhere besides this Steam discussion thread.

In the Main Menu, click on Load. Then toggle the dial for "Recovery Saves". Your autosaves will appear below the manual saves.

Oh like to directly load a game without returning to the main menu? That could be interesting - I don't think I've seen that one asked yet!

Hello, great game. I noticed that there is no shop in town that sells donuts, although there are plenty of cafes. Is it because the fryer can also make fries? Also, if I'm the only place in town that sells donuts, sales should be significantly higher than mine (1,000 donuts per week).
Then I have another problem with the statement of income. Actual profit is higher than shown here. Example: Profit €400 per day. In fact, I end up with €750 more in my account.

I look forward to future updates.

Glad you're enjoying the game! This is true - donuts are undergoing some changes, so I'll mention that needs to be fixed as well!

That's a common confusion - the "profit" takes into account the inventory you previously purchased so you can see how well your business is doing. But since you bought it previously, you actually made more money today, than your "profit" shows.

I find this rather annoying. "How well your business is doing?" and "Profit" are two different things usually.

What do you mean? Please explain.

The "Profitability" of your business needs to take into account the expenses. The cost of goods needs to be subtracted from the sale price in order to determine the profit that was earned from that sale.

However, since you already paid for those items previously, it is not deducted again from the money that goes into your bank. That's why the money added to your bank is more than the "profit" earned from the sale.
