Losing a lot of money or digit rolling over

It seems like around February 2051 I lose a bunch of money. I don't know if this is due to too many digits and it overflows and the M doesnt change to B(billion), but I don't think its due to the dividend, but it could be. I did increase game speed from 4 to max at some point, probably in January 2051.
I have emailed 2 .sav files to info@enlight.com. The one labeled 4 is before the loss of money, the one labeled 2 is after.
I used TheRealWorld mod for post release, and these saves are in post release beta.

I was told by our programmer that the B(billion) display is done at a display level and it does not change the underlying numbers. In other words, when the system see a number that exceeds 1 billion, it will create a temporary number and divide it by 1 billion and display the resulting number with 'B'. So the loss you saw in your game is not caused by number overflows. I would suggest that you check your individual firms' profitability one by one to find out the true causes of the negative profitability.

I don't know about that. It was just a sudden loss of a lot of money. The stock price changed from something above $15000 to something around the $100 and it was recalculated for all previous years. And its not like the profit went negative, all companies profits and cash values changed.

I loaded your save game file KMP_002.sav and the profit of your company is normal. ($22 billion per year).

I was doing about 2 trillion profit and 3.5 trillion cash before this error/bug happened.

It should be due to the reissue of banknotes.

Please see this web page for details:

Scroll to the bottom of the web page and see the section "Reissue of banknotes."

Can you post your file here, I like to see how you build a 2 trillion profit company? It seem like your competitors are doing amazing well too.

Ah, I see. That makes sense. I had never encountered that, and confused the hell out of me.

@chengtsai the file is too large. I sent you a pm
