addedNew Game Mode"Margin Call" Hard Mode: We’ve introduced a new difficulty system! You can now choose between "Arcade" (default) and "Margin Call" at character creation. Margin Call turns up the heat with slower market growth, higher loan rates, harsher legal penalties, tighter victory thresholds, and more frequent black swan events.
fixedBug FixesProperty Sale Exploit: Patched an exploit where selling investment properties paid out the gross property value without deducting the outstanding mortgage. It now correctly calculates and pays out the net proceeds (sale price minus remaining mortgage principal).
fixedBug FixesDown Payment Display: Fixed an issue where 25% and 50% financing options appeared even if your credit score required a higher minimum down payment. These options are now properly hidden if the required credit percentage exceeds that tier.
fixedBug FixesLiquidation Screen Input: Fixed a bug where the liquidation popup wasn't blocking background input. It is now exclusive, preventing clicks from passing through and getting players stuck.
fixedBug FixesDating Hours Validation: Fixed an issue where [c]set_dating_plan()[/c] allowed negative free time. We've also added a live "Free hours: X hrs/month" label to the dating slider so you can easily track your available time.
changedUI UpdatesPause Menu Rewrite: Completely rebuilt the pause menu from scratch into a single exclusive Window. This replaces the old system of spawning child confirm dialogs and eliminates those frustrating z-ordering issues where prompts rendered behind the menu.
