Hello! The holidays are over and we’ve tried to be a little less productive during the vacation week but… it’s difficult to stay AFK. So, 24.2 is now being released and contains little new except for some minor null reference exception handling and a responsive UI! No more forcing to 16:9 but all resolutions should be supported (21:9 does have a slight bug right now which causes some panels to not be fully visible).
We’re rolling this out now so that you who has an aspect ratio different than 16:9 can test how the UI adapts to your screen and, if it breaks something completely, roll back to the default branch and enjoy that sweet, sweet forced 16:9 (lol).
We’re happy to see any bug reports relating to this be accompanied by screenshots so that we can understand the issue and solve it. This is just the first part in the UI overhaul and we’re currently looking at a complete overhaul of the management panel and its aesthetics.
This is still being worked on, this update was only small UI adjustments to accommodate for other aspect ratios. Performance and the suspected memory leak will be looked at in January.
@Fredrik + @Olof I have not been able to play ACEO the past few weeks due to a bug that keeps me on a loading screen whenever I try to load or create a airport. I sent a bug report, but was wondering when this would be fixed, because right now I can’t play the game at all.
Thanks!
Hmm, strange, just tried it on my machine and I can’t get the same results. Does this occur every time you launch the game? Are you running you latest graphics cards drivers?
You got one when you submitted the bug but I understand that you wouldn’t save it, just PM me your e-mail and I can look it up. If you’re unable to play the game then it’s indeed a serious bug which we’ve not marked as “Critical” for some reason, probably misread the bug report.
Also, we updated this to Alpha 24.2-1 today for a fix for 21:9 aspect ratios. Got stuck in travel so couldn’t provide a change log until now, sorry for this! Here it is anyway:

Bug
[ACEO-3072] - Some panels not visisble in 21:9 screen aspects
To be honest Olof, I’ve only run it once, but I’ll have another few goes tomorrow and see what happens. As far as I know the drivers are all current (It’s a Mac, if that makes any difference to you)
Game map seems fine, but most menu options are cut off. Initial game menu trails off the sides of screen, setting menu has no option to exit game as its missing, probably off the side of screen.
Hmm, can you include a few screens? Either here or via a bug report.
We do not yet have a 21:9 display to test builds with so we’re currently limited to editor testing. Getting a new screen tomorrow so that we can run build tests as of next week.
Further to my original posting, I’ve tried a couple more times now and each time I still get the white bar on the side of the menu. The clouds and planes go over the top of it. It’s not a serious bug as everything works as well as it did before this appeared.
