Polish issue? - crazy large numbers posted in score

from Stardock Forums
Sorry if this is old, but I'm still seeing extra large numbers reported where they look out of place. Two places I can remember for sure are the foreign races screens and the victory screens.

Example: Victory technology scores; 7847, 273, 1259589847, 268, 269, 2014146009. I won the game and had 7847! I have screen shot, etc. if desired.

It's been mentioned before, with screenshot and all.
Well, the AI is good, hehe. Just kidding :-)

well, it does seem there are some strange stuff going on, probably with integers going into negative or some equally funny thing to track down in 3 million lines of code :-)

Smiling Death,

Yeah this is a longstanding known issue. There seem to be some overflow issues in certain areas that have yet to be nailed.

It is kind of amusing to see sometimes but it also helps to explain some of the AI wierdness in spending patterns.

SD: Is this in the newest build, and , if so, were you continuing from a saved game. These problems were supposidly fixed, but only if you restarted your game with the newest version.

Thanks :)

You mean like this? : http://www.crshop.biz/galciv3.jpg

I've seen this in every build so far. The general math errors everywhere make it dificult to gauge exactly where I stand, though I'm still enjoying the game.

Scott,

Yes it is in the current build, beta 4D, in a game started in beta 4D. I've seen this show up in two values: Tech total and treasury.
