Points bug

[removed]

Hello there, In my game I have one problems with points reset..

Jason Spezza stats before game with Dallas:
Games 73 Goals 37 Assists 254 Points 291

In game with Dallas Jason score one goal and adds 3 assists, but if I look into his stats
Games 74 Goals 38 Assists 0 Points 38

This is his first season with so many points, last year he ends with 47 + 139 and no problem. I'm using 3.04 patch, so I don't understand it.. Any solutions or suggestion?

Can you post a screen shot so we can see what we're working with?

250+ assists? who are his wings and how many points do they have?

id make a joke about the game being in disbelief that spezza could do so well, but that would be poor form

I think its because assist variable probably is unsigned 8bit integer, so max value is 0-255. if it goes over 255 then it rolls back to begining (255 -> 0).

16 bit unsigned integer would be 0 to 65535 ,but it uses double amount memory. Maybe Riz think that no one never ever do +255 goals or assists so its good place save memory here ????

Sorry I was hollidays..

Sorry but that's not possible, I don't save my game every time..

Yes 255+ assists, his wings are Marian Gaborik (99 goals + 72 assist) and Jordan Stall (89 goals + 46 assists) and sometimes Gaborik and Patrick Kane (59 Goals + 48 assists).

But he also play SH with Hammil (67 goals) and PP with Gaborik and Hammil

I think its because assist variable probably is unsigned 8bit integer, so max value is 0-255. if it goes over 255 then it rolls back to begining (255 -> 0).

Yes I think this is the problem, you are right.. but how to solve it? It's very shame 291 points drop to 38..

It's likely hardcoded in the game and there is nothing you can do about it.

It's a classic programming issue and without changing the data type in the code directly it will always happen.
