Big Ambitions Builds 2449 and 2450 Fix Mouse Input and Localization Bugs

Big Ambitions builds 2449 and 2450 arrive with fixes for mouse click registration, employee poaching loops, and savegame compatibility. The update also resolves localization display errors in Chinese and Japanese.

Following the public EA 0.5 release of Big Ambitions, developer Hovgaard Games has deployed builds 2449 and 2450. This small patch addresses early bug reports gathered from the preview branch and public launch.

Mouse Input Fix

Mouse clicking behavior is adjusted. Previously, holding down the click for more than 0.14 seconds registered as a click-and-drag action instead of selecting an item. Items now respond correctly to standard clicks.

Progression and Save Fixes

A bug allowing players to repeatedly recruit or poach the same employee is resolved. An issue causing the Uncle Fred tutorial to revert to an old objective is fixed, along with specific cases where old saves failed to adapt to rivals properly. General compatibility issues with older savegames are also ironed out.

UI and Localization Corrections

Incorrect localized keys inside the Casino are corrected. Several areas failing to display Chinese and Japanese localization properly are updated to show text accurately.

Why this patch matters

Builds 2449 and 2450 provide essential quality-of-life fixes for mouse inputs and save compatibility following the EA 0.5 milestone.
