Bug made me rich

Post by wydavies » Sun, 12. Apr 15, 17:42

I encountered a strange bug that I can replicate, but can't work out why it is happening.
I moved my save-files from my main PC to my laptop as I was doing a lot of travelling. After playing for a few hours on my laptop I checked my money - half a trillion credits!
I finally worked out the auto-money transfer from the stations were transferring exactly 2 billion credits at a time (and it was 2000000000, not 2147483648) instead of the correct amount and as there was a lot of traffic at my stations this was happening with great frequency.
Restarting the money transfer rules fixes this. Transferring the saves back to my main-PC and all is fine. Transfer them again to the laptop and the 2-billion transfers start again.
The only differences I'm aware of is that my main PC is Windows 7 and the community pack is from the Egosoft website and the laptop is Windows 8 and the community pack is loaded via Steam.

I just ran a script to get rid of 600 billion credits, so not hugely annoying. I prefer to make my money legit. Just an interesting bug that I can't get to the root of.
