Build 2462: Patch Notes

Big Ambitions

Big Ambitions is a revolutionary role-playing business sim. Go from nothing to the biggest entrepreneur in New York by opening small businesses or slowly building huge corporations any way you like.

[h3][b]Hello and good day![/b][/h3] We've got another small patch for our ambitious friends! [h2]Mac Users[/h2] First up - if you're a Mac user that's been dealing with the issue of launching to a black/grey/green or flickering screen, we have a workaround! If not, then skip to the Changelog section! The issue seems to be related to video memory while launching the game, and launching the game in windowed mode seems to fix it. We're still looking into a more permanent solution, but this fix should get you into the game again! Please let us know if you're still having trouble after this or have any new information, so we can get things working for you!
