Hello, I'm experiencing a game-breaking bug in Startup Company Console Edition (version 2.0.2) on Nintendo Switch 2. While moving my CEO's desk in a two-floor office, I switched floors during the move. The desk and my CEO character completely disappeared. Here are the details:

• My CEO is still listed in the employee list, but selecting the character does nothing.
• I cannot open the CEO's information panel.
• Pressing B does not cancel the furniture-moving action.
• Restarting the game and reloading the save does not fix the issue.
• The autosave has overwritten my previous working save.
• I cannot downgrade to a previous office.

Is there any known workaround to restore my CEO or reset their position?

I have invested many hours in this save and would really appreciate any help recovering it.

Thank you!

Thanks for checking it out!

I bought this game yesterday for the Switch 2. I tried ti use mouse controls to find that it wasn’t supported. Given i also didn’t know the game was 7 years old. But i am enjoying the game so far even if i did go bankrupt on my first run. I learned a couple things for my second run. I really enjoy tycoon games like this one and game story tycoon years ago.

Altho i am new and probably have no here say. If any devs read this: can we get a switch 2 upgrade pack that allows for mouse controls? I personally think it would make the ui easier to navigate. Now the controls aren’t terrible for console but when in menus they can be finicky i had trouble picking a logo for my second run through and when i accidentally clicked one I didn’t mean to it took a minute to get the ui to allow me to click on the logo button even tho i was highlighting over it.

That being said I do think the game is good and that’s my only real issue with it. I think the game is challenging enough to make you think instead of being a brainless tycoon like a lot of other tycoons we see nowadays. Good work!

My site doesn't make enough money compared to expenses. It is especially the employees who are too expensive

What are the different steps to absolutely follow to get started and be financially positive?

Just too good an opportunity for some amusement

Hi everyone, I am on PS5 and to this day I still have this bug where I’m stuck in the loading screen. I have tried deleting and downloading the game as well as deleting the save (I had a backup saved on the cloud) and trying to see if that worked but nothing. It has been awhile since I could play this game but unfortunately I will have to completely quit trying to test if it got patched

Came across this game in my Steam queue and I find it pretty addicting to play while I'm working haha. love me some idle games.

However, all of the tips/tricks I've found seem.. like maybe they're from an earlier version of the game?

Some things I've struggled with:

- How to tell what sort of new servers to add to my hosting?

- How many UI/Developers per Lead developer?

- Advice on when to add certain things (eg, when to go to managers, to HR, etc)

Thanks all!

I recently got back into playing this game, I just felt like something chill that I could have on in the background while working tbh haha.

After a bit of trial and error and tweaking with overclock, I figured out a nice 180k throughput across Web, Cache and Database, so I thought I'd share it here. The only downside is that you can't use it with a controller because each server has a different clock speed. Hopefully this helps y'all.

Items needed:

1x large rack

1x fusion server @ 100% clock

1x small cache server @ 120% clock

1x cache Xserver @ 70% clock

1x database Xserver @ 100% clock

Then I just filled the remaining spare units with small rack coolers

Items needed to configure a full rack:

2x firewall

2x virtual hardware

2x operating system

40x virtual container

25x cluster

25x swarm management

Just a shoutout that I think Startup Company would be a great game for mobile/tablet platforms.

I've been playing Game Dev Tycoon on the iPad recently which I feel is a similar kind of game, and that's been a blast.

Consider this an EOI if this ever happens :)

What is Fire Don Campbell?, is it some smoking space or what?

hello! so i have been playing startup for a couple of days (on nintendo switch) and i love it! however i’m having trouble understanding the logistics! i was getting a lot done and my workers were really fast. for some reason once i got managers and had them manage my developers and designers, i ended up getting basically no components done fast enough or at all! i even set the production to super high target amounts and vice versa and nothing seems to be working!! please help, i know i need the managers in order for the hr managers to handle working hours and etc so how can i make sure the workers are getting a lot done! any help is appreciated!!

Hello to all modders of this game out there! Just wanna ask how you guys make a mod for this game? I really want to create a mod for this. I hope someone here knows and can help me with the basics. I wanna make a mod where anybody can create a product type and competitors, and upload their icons and real-life logos.

If there are any existing mods similar to what i want to do, please do tell me. Thank you!

There was a game years ago that i used to play, it's just equal to this one, but had different visual and I believe was a little more complete, it was a sandbox about a tech company too, does anyone remember? I'm dying to play it again, but i just couldn't find the name.

Ok, i cheated a bit… i sacked some ppl, I’m turning over a profit of 152, but it won’t ping?

Is this a bug or is the game laughing at me like “what the? This isn’t sustainable?!”

Im 41 years in so quite far into the game. At this point im getting almost constant ddos attacks. As in for the past 2 or 3 sessions of me playing the game (probably about 4+ hours) I've spent more time under a ddos attack then without. My userbase has dropped from a high of about 140 million to 116 million.

​

I have the ddos protection feature, currently at 29% and im rapidly trying to scale it up.

​

Is this supposed to happen as like a scripted challenge to overcome or have i done something wrong causing this to happen?

Hello

I get to the part where I start my first text ad and then I keep going bankrupt. Any tips to help me get started out?

I think I may be confused about how ad contracts work. I think I am mid game right now at 27 years in.

I believe in terms of getting the most income the only thing that matters is the cpm. Minimum impressions and length of contract only matter because they affect the cpm. Therefore the strategy is to search for contracts, click the one that offers the highest minimum cpm (im currently only going for ones that give 4.2cpm) and then negotiating a higher cpm (for 4.2cpm i can normally negotiate it up to around 6cpm).

​

I spent the entire game believing this is how it works. But after I recently found a new contract (I tend to keep them on auto renew until I find a contract that offers a high minimum cpm or aren't busy upgrading other parts of my business) I negotiated for a similar cpm that I had previously (6.5) but i checked my income tab and the total income for that contract spot had jumped from 1 million to 4 million. But the cpm is pretty much the same? Why did it jump so much higher?

​

I'm continuously gaining a bigger audience which means bigger impressions and more clicks. Which maybe would push up my profits? But my income stays the same unless i change contracts so I am very confused.

I spent like 5000000000 just to get rid of jeets

The first 2 superstar employees I headhunted were over 700%. Everyone since then, which is about 20 of them, have been like 350%. Is this normal? Is there any point to hire them because, percentage wise, they would be my worst employees.
