Fuel overload - 8/17/2010 2:55:58 AM

I have a TF with 4 xAK's capacity 5550 with 63928 / 63933 / 63934 and 63968 fuel loaded aboard them.

Will this problem solve itself automatically? If so how?

I vaguely recall this problem has been answered before.

Do you have the last patch installed? There once was an overflow bug, mostly with AEs and AKEs, where the ships would overload as you describe, often into negative numbers on the variable. The only solution then, as I recall, was to continue to load them until the variable "came around the other direction" and went positive. There are lots of threads on this from last spring.

But it was corrected in the last patch, and its beta before that. I had it all the time pre-patch, and not once since.

Was supposed to be fixed but I'm also having problems with the new patch. Was trying a few things before I posted a save. (It's a PBEM, so I get about one try a day)

My case is also AKs with fuel (real AKs, not xAK like the OP). I have tried loading fuel because I've had success (on older revs) clearing this condition with a load. Nothing budged, including an AK that claimed to have a normal looking value (173). This turn I'm trying to unload, although i don't suspect that will help either.

Interestingly, all 6 affected AKs claim to have exactly 2440/3050 used; even though they all show different amounts of fuel loaded (well, 2 are the same value, but the rest are all different).

I can post saves, but I probably won't get to it till Wednesday.

When it happened to me with AKE's I just set the TF to unload cargo and the problem unloaded.

Interesting. I haven't seen this, and I'm running fuel all over the Pacific in xAKs. I have not used AKs though. I guard those few early ones like gold.

I expect this will get looked at by the devs.
