BUG: Players corporations cash is checked instead of insurance firms cash when buying stocks in the stock market

Post by xbeo »

Players corporations cash is checked instead of insurance firms cash when buying stocks in the stock market.

Expected behavior:

When buying stocks for a insurance firm, the insurance firms cash should be checked for sufficient amount.

How to reproduce:

Transfer all your funds to you insurance firm.
Try to buy stocks with your insurance firm that the insurance firm should be able to afford.
Notice the error message that states that you don't have enough cash.


edit: replaced "insurance company" with "insurance firm"

I did a test in the way you described and I was able to buy stocks on behalf of my insurance firm. Please see the attached screenshots showing the stock purchase process. As you could see the player corporation's cash was much lower than the insurance firm and yet it did not cause the game to block the purchase.

Hi,

sorry for my unprecise reproduction steps, try to buy from anyone but the public shareholders, the button should read "offer".

Thank you for you quick answer!
