Weird score calculations for independent investors

Post by MagnusA »

See attached screen shot. Certain persons get high scores despite no market domination. 0 times 20 equals 60?? 0 times 5 equals 55?? It looks like it is the one who do not control any company (independent investor?) who get these high scores.

Another score "bug": At the Player's Score Report (see second screen shot) the score for Corporate value seems to have a multiplier of 10, not 100 as shown on-screen. Assuming the same inflation adjustment in both formulas. The lower multiplier for corporate value is reasonable (compared to personal wealth) but the report should display the correct multiplier.

I have version 5.4.35 with Subsidiary DLC enabled. No mods.

Thanks for looking into it. Sav e file attached. CapLab version 5.4.35 installed fresh this morning from the full installer. Subsidiary DLC enabled. Digital Age and City Economics DLCs are disabled. No mods.

No particular steps to recreate the problem, just select a Person's Score. Some of them have this weird score calculations and some are not.

For the multiply issue I believe the displayed "100" is not the multiplier actually used. it should display 10 (or whatever multiplier actually used).

I tried to start a completely new game. Custom Game -> Difficulty 1 -> Start. Checking the score pages immediataly after start also shows this.

EDIT: I installed the latest post-release version (5.6.12 Beta) and the persons without companies get those weird scores there as well. As well as that display error on my Player's Score Report.

Awesome! Thanks for fixing it so fast. :-D

Btw, it looks like a typo in the announcement post of yours. In the history there are two 5.4.35...
