i have been having some internet problems recently... my cable modem reboots at randoms times.
anyway i was doing stuff on zion and i took some investment out of one building like 500 then 500 out of another and it rebooted and when i rejoined i had 170s on my person was in a totaly diffrent spot and the money was gone from both buildings:( !
i know i got from henks buildings 2 but im just saying thats a big bug to lose 1k i dont realy care about it..... that much:P
anyway it was while i was going to put in credits, thats why i withdrew but it disapeared and i only have gotten like 3.3cr from zion from 0. i was planing to get a lot more:P
edit lol it just rebooted again when i hit edit.
anyway i looked again and it is 3.3 toatal so i guess when mit was talking about i only had done 2.75cr? that doesn make any since mit:P
anyway i think it was in the middle of doing the 3.3 total. and just stating that to the direct before or after question. i think it was that i took money from my mine and henks tank factory which i destoyed after. i had put that into credits. then i went to get 500 from the steel and then 500 from the vehcial factory. it then lost connection to the world and i looked over and the modem was flashing. later i think i converted a bit more invest to credits and i remeber the vehical didnt have an even thousand after the loss. it had like 100 something still and i made that into credits.
i see now that im typing this its reseting again and im thinking what on earth is up with this thing!
I asked about the credits just so i can use it to help track when the transactions occured.
I'll look further thru the server logs & transactions records to see if anythin shows up, but to be honest im not at all sure how you can have lost money coz of lag or crashes.
Client lag or disconnections cannot suddenly cause money 'to go poof' on the server. - The way all transactions are dealt with by the game means it doesnt matter whats goin on on your client machine, the server is still happily sitting there dealing with its processes in the normal way. Whenever money is removed from a building it is then added to the server's player record in the very next line of code - So what's going on on your client cant affect it. In the worst case, if the server were to crash after removing the money from the building but before adding it to the player record, (an extremely unlikely occurence) then the situation would revert back to the state before the transaction took place - (Because the file records of the building and player are not saved until the transaction is fully completed) - and the money would end up back in the building. The very very worst case, where problems can theoretically happen, is when the server saves the building record and crashes before it saves the player record - the building would lose the money and the player wouldnt get it. Again, this is unlikely, and certainly didnt happen in this case.)
There may be possible cases where lag means that your money is not shown correctly on your client immediately, but a relog would cure that.
