OpenTTD, an open source simulation game based on the popular Microprose title "Transport Tycoon Deluxe" written by Chris Sawyer, is now at version 1.4.0 Beta 3.

OpenTTD has improved the original game in many areas, starting with the maps, which are now 64 times bigger than they were in Transport Tycoon Deluxe.

According to the changelog, several small performance improvements with the SSE blitters have been implemented, StringCodes 9A 1B, 9A 1C, and 9A 1D have been added to display the amounts of cargo, and an infinite recursion when getting next stopping station has been fixed.

Also, the smallmap overlay has been undated if the player joins a different company, the custom currency is no longer reset on game start, and possible out of bounds reads with the SSE blitters have been fixed.

Check out the changelog for a complete list of updates and fixes. Download OpenTTD 1.3.1 Beta 3 right now from Softpedia. Keep in mind that this is a development version and some bugs might still be present.
