I want to highlight this bug. All the vehicle based on the same chassis have the same length.... that actually is the length of the weelbase of the chassis.

So it means they have the same length of 2.70 meter. =/

Thanks in advance.]]>

So, the game started in 1930 in Iceland. I am building high end sports cars and turning a good profit. I decide I need to expand a bit so I begin upgrading my factory (same amount of increase in all three sliders, basically three clicks up) with the intention of introducing a fifth car to my lineup, I figure I'll need the extra capacity to meet demand!

So, to compare the before and after numbers.
My initial factory could produce 4413 vehicles with 1490 workers (quality slider far right) and came up in my reports as a "Factory expenses" of around $1.6M.
My new factory a year later can produce 5744 vehicles with 1553 workers and shows up in my reports as a "Factory expenses" of over $5.4M and that's only running at about 2/3 capacity!

So, I get a 30% increase in production capacity from less than 5% more staff. Great! But my factory now costs more than three times as much to run!

By economies of scale, the cost per vehicles really should be less the larger the factory gets. This isn't just opposite, this is several orders of magnitudes opposite!

I have two bugs to highlight:

1. I have started several game plays but everytime i reach he year 1986/1987 i'm not able to continue to play. The game crashes all he time i press the "next turn clock botton". This is quite serious issue since i cannot continue to play.

2. Another bug i have encountered happens when i try to create a new MY or new trim for cars belonging from a company i tookover. When i try to modify them the game crashes.

Can you please help me with this issue.

first 30 seconds in...already found some bugs .

Started the 1980 scenario...top speeds are...well, a bit off. One of the competitor's vehicles (Toyoda) manages an astonishing 861 kph from a 42hp engine! That's probably the only Toyota I'd like to own...it applies to other AI vehicles too, haven't tested my own ones yet. I'm guessing somethings off with the calculations (as usual). I'm sure Eric will figure it out.]]>

When i move the slider back and forth i get the normal numbers that seem to be working, but every time i press that button, the value changes to strange numbers.

I am still able to set marketing using the slider because the strange number only appears after ive applied the value ive set, not before.
So in that sense the bug is purely cosmetic, but very strange.

So look at the screenshots ive provided. The only action ive taken is to press the apply button.
Notice my event budget has not changed, but a strange number appeared in the budget box below.

Update:
This is very strange.....
I went into a different save, adjusted some marketing in order to replicate the bug in this thread
Eventually i was able to replicate it in some form, then i came back to the save ive got in this thread.
It wasnt happening in the same way it was before.
Compare these two screenshots, all ive done is press the apply button again.
Strange isnt it?

The fact the same bug is happening across two different saves and changed across those two different saves i think is indicative of some kind of underlying problem perhaps.

The marque that I started with had a brief foray into Phaetons to get some volume and pump some money into the coffers to I could make a second marque and push the Phaetons into it and expand my total product offer without screwing with my prestige.

So, the main marque has never produced anything with a Luxury or Comfort slider lower than 50% and most of them are 80% plus but it has a Luxury prestige of "Below average"
The budget marque that doesn't produce anything with a Luxury or Comfort slider better than 60% and puts out a couple of vehicles with 10% on both has a better Luxury prestige of "Average".

Interestingly, despite spending more money on marketing than I ever have in a previous game both of my Marques have among the lowest Image prestige ratings of any in the current game. Not sure if this is related to this but or one or more of the marketing bugs people have posted.]]>

About 3-4 times in a row now.

I have the lock percentage and lock all button down.
I move the slider to max while setting it on (all vehicles/Brands) then press apply.
The next turn my vehicle and broadbase newspaper marketing are set to 0.

Edit :
Figured this out somewhat.
When i turned the "lock to" checkboxes off, the figure stayed where i wanted it to. So i assume its some kind of problem with that mechanic specifically.'

Edit 2:
This bug is also effecting the lobbying checkbox in the same way.

See the later posts for an in detail update on the difficulties surrounding this bug

Compare these two screenshots from a 1900 game.

Notice that all ive done is move the displacement slider from the right to the left.
With the current settings(low tech sliders), i can get the same amount of HP (5HP) from 730cc as i can from 2146cc.

I understand that single cylinders weren't efficient in larger sizes for a number of reasons, but that's a 2x increase in volume. I would expect it to have some effect.

Edit:

Weirdly, the displacement goes up to 6HP at 1.6L then down to 5HP again when it gets smaller.

Edit: 2 Ive managed to narrow the part of this bug where HP goes up with less displacement then down again.
It only occurs when you move all the tech sliders to the left.
With them centered, it doesnt seem to happen.

With one company I tried buying shares (up to 35%) and then waiting a couple of months before making a maximum offer and getting another rejection only to have the company collapse the following turn (losing all my shares in the process).
I saw another company lose 105% (that number makes no sense I know, I'm assuming it's calculated as a % of current share value rather than last months share value) of their share value in a single month so decided to offer them a max buyout bid only to get rejected again.
As another test I just went and made a buyout bid on every company I could afford and got rejected on all of them.

So, yeah, I don't know if this is actually a bug or if I have just overlooked some new requirement for buying out that was introduces in 1.12.

---

Okay, now it gets weird....

So I go click the IPO button to see if that changes things. I make an offer on one of the companies that rejected me earlier, they reject me again so I crank it up to a max bid and try again and they accept!! WOOT!! I don't know if it's because I IPO'd or not but I had made so many rejected offers before it makes me think that it did.

Only, now I also own the company that I mentioned I tried buying shares for before they collapsed.
Now, it's possible that I already owned them and I just didn't look but I'm pretty sure I did. Either way, I definitely received a rejection notification from them every time I made an offer but now I own them. Could it be that I took ownership because I owned enough shares when they collapsed?

The annoying thing is, I wanted both companies for the same thing, a luxury line =/

I have included a save file in case Eric wants to look at it.
