Airport CEO Alpha 36 released (The Emergency Update)

New gameplay settings (for speed and desk connections) are listed in the trello as deployed but are not in the gameplay settings menu, did the version not get released or am i missing something?

It’s delayed, read @Olof’s post 21hrs ago above.

Yes, I struggle with that one too. Decorations and better seating I’ve been reading help that one.

Good evening! We’re finally back with another update and a first fix for the crashes in relation to quitting the application. There is still an issue with the “quit to main menu” on Windows (cause by a Steam connection issue) but this will hopefully be patched tomorrow, an alternative workaround is to launch the game directly (i.e. not using Steam).

Here’s the change log for this update:

    Release notes - Airport CEO - Version Alpha 36.2-5

Is this enough plants for you?

EDIT: Apparently not. Maybe I need better seating. Screen Shot 2020-08-25 at 5.42.57 PM

EDIT: Added bar stools about the same size as the plants. Rating increased to 36%. Maybe this rating needs some balancing. The CFO is going to have a field day with the amount of money I spent on this. Just found out I spent three million on plants and chairs. Thank you CFO!

Well, alpha 36.2-5 messed-up Contractor Deployment thoroughly. Although now allowing all contractors to be dismissed with one click (good), it removed the ability to deploy/dismiss by 10 (bad). Want to deploy/dismiss 100 contractors of your 146? You need to click the +1 button 100 times.

Please provide the +/-10 option again as well as the MAX. If we can’t have both, I vote for +/- 10

I agree both would be useful. I lightly amended your choice of word too.

And all my Security Personnel have abandoned their posts. All Checkpoints are unmanned.
So, where are they all? In the toilet. Together. And they refuse to come out. Same for the employees manning the stores and restaurant.

Does CTRL clicking no longer increase it by 10?

I’m guessing your staff are not on strike? Sounds like great bug report candidate otherwise.

@OKChris Ohhhhh, I never thought of that…

@OKChris, thank you for that. Gave you a kudos there as well.
As far as I’m concerned, that resolves the issue. No changes suggested.

Not officially on strike. That is, there is no STRIKE banner on their images. However, save/reload got them back to work.

@Alexander Perhaps a hover tool tip for beta about the Ctrl for plus 10?

I started using the update today but it seems like in all instances (except planes on a stand at launch of game) where a stair truck is required, if it is on the stand or not, it claims no stair truck is available and the passengers never get deplaned. It ends up breaking the entire game as far as I can tell. I’ve tried restarting my save a few times, and it usually fixes it on the planes that are on a stand, but afterwards the next plane has the error again. Anyone else experiencing this?

@neverforget98, I am experiencing that as well with the new update.

BUG: Contract negotiation points are reset to 0 when loading game. I had 8 when I saved, I now have 0. I noticed this when I had 3, reset to 0. gonna bug report this. FYI This happened with 2-3 and now 2-5 again.

I get this too. Unplayable until fixed. Did you bug report it in-game?

Summary

My airport has a huge hang on this point. It resolves though, but it is on each load.

Maybe its due this specific safe. But I dont have time to build a new airport up now. Will start a new one later.

Power surge incident does not resolve correctly after duration time has passed

Seems this is not purging existing instances of the bug.


What I wonder, could the airline rating is dropping due to the Large Runway?

I am back to a medium stands only airport, and ratings are up.

When you boot into Large Stands, do you have to build like 5 or 6 to keep all airlines happy? Who can afford that?

And my airport suddenly has issues recognizing Stair Trucks, 31788


How about 13 broken planes on the same time? with 9 in hangers?

All full
