Negative resource count

Playing on Arch-Linux, 64-bit.

Bought the game some hours ago and haven't spend much time in the game: During the two runs I started, I ran into the same bug each time. Starting with sleeping beauty, somewhere along the line I get high negative values for my resource count: first it was ore and nanofibres, now antimatter and plasma (about -49.000.000 and -51.000.000). Seems to me, that the game is setting these values to something stored in uninitialized memory.

Look at my post in the infinitive loop discussion about setting LC_AL, it should fix this as well.

Thank you very much. Never thought about that, though this also fixed an issue with Kerbal Space Progam quite some time ago.

Yes, and Motersport Manager and several other ganes. It's a common misstakes by devs to not test it under different locales that changes the comma/dot notation of values.

How is this issue still around?!?

Just bought the game and immediately (in the first real system) got two resources at minus 80 millon. This is unplayable!

Ubuntu 16.04 64 bit.
Setting LC_ALL did not help.

Hey Paladin,

We are sorry to hear that this issue occurred to you. Were you able to check out Mephenor's post about the infinite loop and LC_AL setting? Did that help with the issue?

Arch Linux 64bit, German locale, same bug, LC_ALL does not fix it. I can't play the game. Happens shortly before the cheese aunt boss.

Aaaand bam! got hit with the same issue. Noticed it too late and all of my 3 save slots have been overwritten with negative resource values...
Thankfully i can still play on my windows craptop without these problems. Guess it's time to start a new game, eh?
