Game engine pause

Greetings!



MFN-1 has finally run into a limitation in the game engine. After 60 seasons, the salary cap has grown to over $2.2 billion, which is more than the game can handle. The engine uses 32-bit signed integers, which have a maximum value of 2,147,483,647 — and we’ve just exceeded that limit.



Because of this overflow issue, the simulation can’t continue until I make some adjustments. I’ve paused the sim for a few days to work out the best solution. My current plan is to reset the salary cap by dividing it by 1,000, bringing it back down to around $2.2 million. I’ll also make sure that all salary cap–related values in the game are adjusted consistently so nothing breaks.



Thanks for your patience while I get this sorted!

I've reduced the salary cap back down to 2.2 million, and all finances should have properly followed.



I'm going to continue to hold the game engine so that if anyone notices a discrepancy I can correct it before the sim runs. If you do notice something that's amiss, please PM me immediately!
