TOPIC:

Thank you, ST2, for clarifications. I will help in finding the bug when you start a test server based on #28, but keep in mind, please, that I'm starting my long-awaited vacations on September the 1st. So I can help you this month, then I'm off for 2-3 weeks. (Hurrah! ^^)

update:
- since server #28 was a real GS crash, it was stopped and settings moved to server #XX. The gamescript itself have a bunch of changes (noticeable on the 3rd page of the Storybook, for example, among other ones - logging stuff, mostly ^^). That's why the server, even a test one, will give points and with a higher multiplier - to compensate the brave testers

Feel free to report here or directly to me on IRC about how things go. All reports/suggestions will be welcome


About the mentioned 1st group of servers... soon will be created a new test server to another try of catching that elusive growth bug cause. When that test server goes live... I'll notify.

Thank you for your understanding

"That's why the server, even a test one, will give points and with a higher multiplier - to compensate the brave testers" - you know how to encourage people I'm in! As soon as I've got free time. Today evening, I hope

Thanks for your time to make this amazing game better.

I've a suggestion.
The screenshots shows that the games where running for more than 25 years, while the most of the games will end within 10 years. I suspect that this could be one of the causes of this problem.

Is it possible to build up a test server with a game which will run for at least 25 years?

well, currently we have all our servers working as START YEAR -> GOAL, no matter how many years will take (being precise, servers will force the restart at year 5000... but never saw a server getting there )

I'd think the game running for 25 years is a result of the problem, not the cause - it's impossible to finish a game within 10 years if the growth rate is stuck at 40 days.
