l'horloge du transarcticaKnown bugs

For now, I have found the following bugs. Some of them were also found with the help of Zoltán Takács.

  1. When the Transarctica arrives to 0 in Lignite and Anthracite, the game is lost immediately, even if you still have engouh pressure in the boiler/locomotive to reach the next city and sell things.
  2. After a certain number of time (at least 60 game-days) and if you have activated fast-fight mode, then sometimes it happens that after a train fight, the Transcartica stock of Lignite and Anthracite are erased and replaced with plunderings. Most of the time, it is very bad news!
  3. When loading a saved game, the type of cities is not known anymore(trade, factory ...)
  4. Commerce screen: when the available quantities exceed 2 digits, numbers are writen beyond the box
  5. When it exceeds a certain value, the PTAC becomes negative in the inventory report
  6. Can not have more than 6 tenders or storage max 30,000 baks
  7. When in auto-battle mode, lost soldiers are not counted (level 1)
  8. Random game crashes after consultation of the inventory, when it exceeds 3 pages
  9. The downloadable version on Abandonia has a bug for anti pirate verification: typing "AS" is always accepted.
  10. If you destroy a luxury car containing spies, you can send them on missions anyway.
  11. If you destroy a missile launcher wagon , you can still see it in the control panel, but if you click it you can not access it.
  12. A wagon destroyed in a fight, which thus appears as scrap, may continue to contain commodities, mammoths , etc. -- depending on its original specialty.
  13. A battle initiates even if you and the enemy are not on the same tracks, or even if one of you are underground in a tunnel.
  14. At battles the ennemy can fire its cannons faster than you, and their mammoths start with more troops on them than you.
  15. I fast-fight mode, you lose 100% of your mammoths in battles, no matter the ennemy potential.
  16. Missiles can be launched even if you are underground in a tunnel.
  17. If a anti-train mine blows up via an inspection car and there is an intersection in the tile (from a coal mine) the game stops responding.
  18. 1 Bak weights 1 Ton instead of 100Kg as noted in the manual.
  19. You can still build bridges even if you lack the required number of steel.
  20. If an event happens (battle, wild mammoths, wolves, nomads, moleman) at the same time you return from the map screen, the game stops responding.
  21. You can buy all the stock of antiques from nomads, leave the purchase screen, and come back to buy more: their stock is virtually infinite.
  22. In Helsinki you can buy wood. If you buy some whilst already have some, and then immediately sell all the stock of wood, then the city does not sell wood any more even if it had some just before the operation.

 

Bugs resolution

Until today, I unfortunately have no resolution for these bugs. If you know one, feel free to share!
