Federal Reserve Localization update And Scoring Optimization

Hi Chairs,

A new update just went live. We’ve improved scoring, stability, and localization based on your feedback.

We’ve also migrated more in-game text into our translation system, improving the localization experience across most areas of the game. We’re still working on improving the Simplified Chinese translation for the Kevin Warsh content, and we’ll continue refining that in a future update.

Main Fixes

Fairer End-Game Scoring

Players noted that ending your term with mild, slightly-below-target inflation — around a 0.5% to 1.0% undershoot — was being graded too harshly, sometimes similarly to runaway inflation.

That’s now fixed. A small inflation undershoot now earns partial credit instead of a zero, so steering the economy to just under 2% will no longer tank your final grade.

Better Localization Experience

A lot of rendered in-game text that was previously hard coded has now been migrated into our in-game translation system.

There is still some English text in the Kevin Warsh update, but we’re actively working to translate and improve that section as well.

Stability Improvements

Restart stability — Fixed an issue where restarting through “Try Again” or “Main Menu” could cause duplicate news headlines to stack up over repeated restarts.

Save system — Optimized the save system to be more efficient and fixed an edge-case bug related to lingering signals after restarting or reloading.

Keep It Coming

Every one of these changes came from a player — whether through a review, bug report, discussion post, or suggestion.

If the game is missing something, or if something feels off, please tell us in the Discussions or leave a review. Your feedback genuinely shapes what we work on next.

Thanks for playing, and good luck out there.

The economy won’t run itself.
