MMORPG Tycoon 2

MMORPG Tycoon 2 is a single-player world-builder game about creating the greatest MMORPG of all time – yours.

Hi folks! The update today is either really big or barely worth mentioning depending on your point of view. This build is almost identical to the last one, except that we've addressed the "multiple steam accounts on one computer login account" issue that I was talking about earlier in the week. We do this by putting each steam account's save files into separate directories, so that Cloud Sync won't get confused about which saves belong to which account. The first time you launch the game after getting this update, we now split your save files out into a separate subdirectory linked to your Steam account, and then launch the game normally. This should be entirely invisible to you; you likely wouldn't even notice if I hadn't told you about it in these patch notes. But doing it should make Steam Cloud Sync a lot happier in that "multiple-account" scenario. Thanks so much for your patience with this update, everyone! Even though it's a relatively small change, it involved moving everybody's save data around and so we wanted to take a little extra time to put it through a lot (*a lot*) of extra internal testing before rolling it out to everyone! Note for Mac users: Also in this build, we've raised our Mac minimum requirements from OSX 10.10 to OSX 10.15. OSX 10.15 is about five years old (and no longer supported by Apple), and it gave us access to the more modern C++ filesystem APIs which we've already been using on Windows and Linux, and which make moving the save files around easier and safer. We don't believe we actually have any players on OSX versions older than 10.15 anyway, so hopefully this doesn't cause issues for anyone, but it definitely simplified making this update! I'll be back again soon to talk about Creativity Spike updates, now that I can turn my focus back to those! -T
