Trading Bug

[JohnMayor 3]

Hello,

I am having an issue with the trading system in Cities XL 2011. I am not sure who I should contact with my problem but I thought I would see if you all could help. My problem is inconsistent and confusing but I will do the best I can to describe it.

Here is an example of my problem. There is a city where I am producing and exporting to Omnicorp around 70+ food units and making 95k per turn. When I reduce the amount of food I am exporting, my cash flow does not change. This continues as I reduce what I am selling to a point where I enter negative cash flow, and then my cash flow reflects the actual trading situation. But when I try to export more of my food units nothing happens to my cash flow. I have to reset all my trading bars to zero before the system rights its self. Additionally, the stat line that shows my cash tokens on the trading screen is never accurate to what my cash flow is. What could be causing this and who should I seek for help? I am using no performance mods and this is really hurting the trading system I want to set up.

If it is at what i'm thinking, it is the "Omincorp bug" and you can't do anything until wait for a fix.

Some people said that was fix, but on my steam version i can definitively say that it's not.

The problem occurs only with the cash token with Omnicorp. The only thing you can do is to force the "record" of the change when exporting less.

Just move manually the slider on the right. On the left it will do a other effect . You don't have to move all the slider.

It the same case when the game automatically reduce one off the token trade, the cash flow balance is not ajusted.

In a other hand, that boring but normally it give you more money than you should have; but it could also skew future plan as you think have more money.

Man it would be great if someone would be able to redo the code for Omnicorp on their own simular to NAM in SC4. I really like this game and everyone else tells me I should just cheat and screw Omnicorp. I am sure that recoding Onmicorp would be an absolute pain (and against the terms of usage agreement).

I emailed Focus Home and of course got no reply. It pisses me off that they would sell a game that doesn't work out of the box. And then relabel it and sell it again with the same problems. The trading system is pretty interesting and challenging if you ask me. A lot of potential..

Hi, a another solution i read last week is to create a (small) city which would take the role of a "hub".

You sell all your surplus (goods and cash) from your cities, and take back just what you needs. The extra is sold to Omnicorp. It's not eliminating the bug but just 1 city will be impacted.

I have not tested yet but i think it a good idea so i will tried.

I am very interested.. Could you post a link to the thread you saw this on? If not maybe we could brainstorm and develop some plans on here.
