xbtf/xten Overflow bug

Post by Cursed Ghost »

as I mentioned in another post xbtf/xten and possibly the other games in the series as well have a nasty overflow bug, which is not being handled correctly by your overflow protection code as evidenced by this screen shot from xbtf

https://i.ibb.co/QQ3JGgy/screenshot.png

from what I can tell your overflow code only handles values that are grater than 20 million it doesn't handle values that are less than zero which is as far as I understand it how the above screen shot is possible, so either who ever it was that was responsible for addressing this doesn't understand the problem properly or the overflow protection code was not tested properly and or both.

another issue I have noticed is that if I have more than 20 million in one of my stations which in of its self should not be possible and I then try to transfer that to the player account then the counter is reset to 20,000,000 and what ever I had over that limit is lost which clearly should not be happening and therefore needs to be fixed.

I made a back up of my xbtf save just before this happened if you want it to try out this bug for your self all you need do is collect additional funds from the other stations and then depot them to the tube fab which has the 20 million+
