Re: Capitalism Lab Release version 9.1.71 Patch
Were the saves I posted above helpful in looking into the share trading issue ?

Re: Capitalism Lab Release version 9.1.71 Patch
The programmer told me that he would need a savegame before that fractional share exists, and detailed instructions for how to recreate that issue, in order to track down the bug.cantdownloadit wrote: ↑Fri Mar 29, 2024 12:05 pm Were the saves I posted above helpful in looking into the share trading issue ?
On the positive side, it doesn't affect the gameplay as you can buy the fractional share from the public shareholders by clicking [Buy] one more time, as a workaround, in your savegame.

Re: Capitalism Lab Release version 9.1.71 Patch
i provided 2 save games showing the issue and gave details of the issue above. this post isnt about the fractional shares ?
this post is about not being able to buy shares if a subsidiary has bought shares in the same company - hence i am still stuck using .66 for the present time

Do you have the line "Anti-exploitation Game Rules" in your script?cantdownloadit wrote: ↑Fri Mar 29, 2024 2:15 pm i provided 2 save games showing the issue and gave details of the issue above. this post isnt about the fractional shares ?

If not, please send me your script file and I will test it for you.

Re: Capitalism Lab Release version 9.1.71 Patch
yes but you said on the previous page this was likely a bug as it shouldn't happen unless alternative stock sim is turned on....David wrote: ↑Sat Mar 30, 2024 1:59 amDo you have the line "Anti-exploitation Game Rules" in your script?cantdownloadit wrote: ↑Fri Mar 29, 2024 2:15 pm i provided 2 save games showing the issue and gave details of the issue above. this post isnt about the fractional shares ?

if this is intended can you explain how its an exploit if 2 related companies both buy shares in another company ? and why only the player is prevented from doing it ?

Re: Capitalism Lab Release version 9.1.71 Patch
After my earlier post, I got the details from the dev team that "Anti-exploitation Game Rules" would have the same effects as the “Alternative Stock Sim” option for prohibiting stock trading between the player’s company and its subsidiaries, thus making it harder to speculate stocks for quick profits.cantdownloadit wrote: ↑Sat Mar 30, 2024 4:31 am yes but you said on the previous page this was likely a bug as it shouldn't happen unless alternative stock sim is turned on....
I recall that there were players reporting using player company / subsidiary A and B to buy shares in quick successions to drive the stock price higher and higher and then have one company dumping stocks at high prices for quick profits.cantdownloadit wrote: ↑Sat Mar 30, 2024 4:31 am if this is intended can you explain how its an exploit if 2 related companies both buy shares in another company ? and why only the player is prevented from doing it ?
The AI does not do this exploit, so that there is no need to restrict the AI from doing so.
For the simplest solution, I recommend that you remove "Anti-exploitation Game Rules" from your script. As you do not do any exploits, removing this line will not have any negative effects to your game. This rule is mainly for challenge games involving multiple players.

Re: Capitalism Lab Release version 9.1.71 Patch
ok well I have at least a dozen part way through games on that were started under before the change, so I will be remaining on .66 for some while
I do wonder why people bother with stuff like this when they can just start the game with 100 billion if they want to (but i dont really bother about the challenge games so probably why).
(though i do think it would have been better to bring this change in with version 10 when everyone would be restarting anyway)

Re: Capitalism Lab Release version 9.1.73 Patch
I don't know if it is related to this patch, the challenge game (which had no click through to rankings when I reloaded it), or other potential changes, but it crashed as I went to exit realising challenge had failed.

Did the bug happen more than once on your computer?
If it did, could you please provide us with the exact steps for triggering the bug?
