Around 2am at a guess?
Aha, thats why I got an error
… reload still errors out, thought you had fixed bug reporting on internal?
Good evening,
Alpha 29.7-0 is on its way out right now, mainly targeting the weird CPU load issues we’ve had including a fix for the main menu, a fix for zoomed out viewing (caused by a GPU bottleneck) but most likely not yet the overall load when starting a new world. We’re still looking into this problem and are testing viable solutions.
As for this update, it partially targets some improvements to passenger behavior and a few initial bug fixes for agents transitioning remote stands (several performance improvements caused checks relating to remote stand shuttles to break). We will continue to test remote stands during the next week to make sure we’ll flush out all bugs but to also try and adjust some operational values.
Important: Remote stand bugs previously introduced (i.e. displaced passengers and ramp agents) might not get automatically fixed with this update and we’ll mainly be targeting prevention of thos bugs rather than post-release fixes. However, if we discover that a lot of saves share common issues we might implement additional fixes (as we’ve already done for some identified common problems).
And also… in this update @Alexander has already made a dent! … two new desks have been implemented along with visual improvements of others including seats and sitting work animations for employees. Alexander will continue to practically familiarize himself with the code base by implementing new items we have in the backlog throughout the coming weeks (we have quite a few!!!).
This version will soak on the experimental branch during the night and most likely get transitioned to the default branch tomorrow, unless any new more critical bugs have been introduced or if we discover something else during tomorrow’s testing.
Here’s the change log:
Release notes - Airport CEO - Version Alpha 29.7-0
Improvement
- [ACEO-9775] - Enable passengers to find seating if no check-in desk has been booked for a certain flight
- [ACEO-9776] - Enable passengers to walk around aimlessly within a certain distance as a wait activity if no other desired activity is executable
- [ACEO-9806] - Enable passengers to interact with information desks
New Feature
Bug
- [ACEO-8808] - Ramp agents in many cases can get stuck on remote stands or service car stops
- [ACEO-9134] - Terrain texture shader rendering GPU bottleneck causes high CPU load
- [ACEO-9613] - Passengers in many cases can get stuck on remote stands or airside shuttle bus stops
- [ACEO-9616] - Passengers can in some cases fail to claim baggage and stall at baggage claim areas
- [ACEO-9665] - Passengers not able to complete a certain activity can in rare cases get teleported to airside shuttle bus stops
- [ACEO-9800] - Persons can not utilize benches

The seats already have a bug, my seats are not used by arriving PAX or staff in non secure staff rooms.
You’re on an old version, wait for the new one…

Enable passengers to find seating if no check-in desk has been booked for a certain flight
this one was already in? prior to this update - if check in is closed - pax would sit down nearby seats
Not in all cases, there were a few situations where they did not execute that behavior properly. Also, since they’re now trying to claim seats as close to the check-in desk as possible, if there are none available, they now also attempt to claim seats within a certain distance originating from their own position (that is again not too far away from a related check-in desk). Welcome to the many, many, many, many headaches of teaching passengers to do what’s in their best interest… 
I like the new check in desks though , just weird they are 3 blocks wide

Well if the medium one is five it’s only fitting that the small one is three… … we’ll see if we can adjust the dimensions in a future update.

Does anyone just have a large amount of people in the bottom left hand corner of the map?
That’s most likely caused by the bugs in the earlier versions, those passengers should over time eventually clear themselves out.
I am loaded into 29.7-0 exp, and all staff/PAX seems frozen in time.
Tried to free them up by forcing secure zone under them, did not work.
And the high CPU load, with the very short interval of the autosave is getting on my nerves.
Same, I have soms stuck waiting outside
Please do a bug report.
How large is the airport? How many passengers? As I mentioned in the above text we’re not yet done looking into that issue.
@Olof i have about 1.5k passengers randomly standing around, with all flights canceled and none waiting at bus stops or trains… this is kinda laggy lol

A bug report is the best way to have me look at it! 
I have 10 small stands atm, on a new level, 5 GA / 5 commercial.
Please set the AutoSave interfal on 15 real minutes instead of ingame time.
