- The Inbox button used to drop you into Properties or the Exchange and left you looking for the offer. It goes to the Inbox now

- The Offers card under the Properties list is gone, offers live in the Inbox

- Alerts about an offer or a proposed deal open that exact item in the Inbox

- Declining or withdrawing an offer asks once more before it is gone

- Route lines on the map are now a chain of arrows instead of a dashed band, in full, solid colours. Reads faster at a glance which way goods are moving. Paused routes shift towards grey but stay just as solid

- Every route gets its own colour from the palette automatically until you pick one, so twenty routes are no longer one yellow carpet

- Route arrows carry a black outline and grow and spread out as you zoom out. Before, the chain merged into a thick stripe from above and vanished on bright roofs

- Town and city names on the map are bigger and have an outline and a shadow, so they stay readable over bright fields, snow and water

- Building signs sit higher above the roof, are bigger and have a real outline instead of a doubled shadow copy, so they stop vanishing between roofs and markers

- The owner's name under a building sign is now written in that company's colour on a dark outline, and it is bigger. Before, the colour was the outline, and a pale company colour disappeared on a pale roof

- Main menu start page rearranged: the server status sits over the globe, the world panel on the right shows who is online with wealth and buildings, the top companies and the market pulse, and What's new plus the lobby chat share the strip under the globe

- Updates tab and What's new show how many changelog entries and news posts are new since your last visit

- Lobby chat shows the time of each message

- Building signs sit close above their own roof again and the two lines stay together. They used to float about five storeys up, with the owner's name so far below the shop name that it looked like a second sign lying on the roof. The distance now follows the text size, so it looks the same close up and far away

- Land labels, player names and the country and city names on the world map have an outline and a shadow now, like the building signs already had. The owner's name on a plot also used to be written in exactly the colour that plot is shaded in, so it was invisible on your own land

- Lobby chat puts the time in front of the name and the message right after it, instead of the name in a wide column with the time far off on the right

- Chat in the world and lobby chat are laid out the same now: time, name with a colon, message, all on one line, same colours for your own name and everyone else's. The chat in the world shows the time of each message too

- Text that is too long for its column scrolls past when you point at the row, instead of just ending in three dots. Works in the lists (contracts, auctions, rivals, licences, elections, levels, shares, research), in the inspector rows on the right, in the watchlist, in titles and dropdowns

- Loan interest is still charged every minute, but your books now show one line per loan and hour instead of one per minute

- Office with a big portfolio loads faster, and the game no longer reloads your whole portfolio after every single sale

- Server answers menus, map ownership and the exchange on several threads now, so the world stays smooth with hundreds of players online

- While you are away, rent, wear and occupancy of your units are settled every ten minutes instead of every minute. Same amounts to the cent, one rent line in your books instead of ten; while you are online nothing changes
