Big Ambitions EA 0.7 Patch 2850 Fixes Movement and Retail Bugs

Big Ambitions build 2850 fixes critical movement bugs using WASD or the mouse, while build 2849 resolves retail queues, cash register errors, and scheduler crashes.

Hovgaard Games has released two hotfixes for Big Ambitions Early Access 0.7, culminating in Build 2850. The updates target movement failures, retail bottlenecks, and automation scheduler crashes.

Controls and Core Movement

Build 2850 fixes an issue that prevented players from moving their character using the mouse or WASD keys. Build 2849 resolves an error that occurred when entering a residential building while holding a cash register.

Retail and Customer Management

Customer AI has been adjusted so patrons no longer ignore available seats. Retail businesses experience shorter queues, spawned customer issues are resolved, and missing items are restored for purchase at IKA.

Automation and Business Management

Bizman Schedulers and Purchasing Agents no longer break unexpectedly. Gym trainers now properly assert their demands, alerts and todo tasks function correctly, and the minus button now allows textboxes to transition from a value of 1 to 0.

Why this patch matters

These hotfixes directly address input and automation roadblocks that hindered management loops in Early Access 0.7.
