Restaurant Empire II Version 1.21 now available

Restaurant Empire II · published 8 days ago

All eventsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

This update, along with the recent ones, ensures this classic restaurant simulation runs smoothly on the latest version of Windows and introduces several quality‑of‑life enhancements.

New function: Delete copied recipes

Copied recipes can now be permanently deleted. A Delete button in the Recipe Menu removes the selected copy. Note that the Delete button appears only when the selected recipe is a copied recipe.

Borderless fullscreen mode

Fullscreen now runs in borderless mode instead of exclusive mode. Alt‑Tab responds instantly, with no black screens or delays.

Larger text and interface

In borderless fullscreen mode, selecting a lower game resolution enlarges the whole interface while the picture still fills the screen. On a 1920×1080 desktop, 1600×900 gives about 20% larger text, 1366×768 about 40% and 1280×720 about 50%.

New option: Edge panning can be turned off

The map scrolls automatically when the mouse pointer reaches the edge of the screen. You can disable this by turning off Edge Panning in the Interface/Input tab of the Options menu.

The following bugs have been fixed:

  • The buy-item panel at 1920×1080 drew more columns than fit inside its frame, leaving the last items unclickable.

  • "Actual food quality" in the Customer panel's Detail tab was blank unless you clicked a customer while they were eating. It now stays visible for the rest of that customer's visit.

  • The windowed resolutions 1200×900 and 1720×720 ran the game at 1024×768 instead of the size selected.

  • The game window could open at the wrong position and size, and the screen could stay black for several seconds before the loading screen appeared.

Key change: Screenshot key moved to Ctrl+F12

Windows and the Steam overlay both use the PrintScreen key, so the game frequently never received it. Screenshots now use Ctrl+F12. Files are saved as RE00.BMP onward in a Screenshot folder inside the game directory.
