[EL] Buggy Territory Control News

It is possible I'm reading this wrong but if not then the "increased" and "decreased" wording seems to be backwards.

If you look at the territory news screen and FDN level in Talison. As the time is increasing and the level is going up it keeps saying "decreased". But as far as I can tell the FDN level is actually increasing.

I can see where the 10 went to 9 and correctly displayed 'decreased', then later the 9 when to 8 and said 'increased'. If you have that profile handy, please send it to me. One scenario where this may happen is if you are active in that region (Talison) and perform operations to decrease the control level to say 7, then later it goes back up to 8, when the report timer activates to post the latest headline, it will report that the value actually increased, even though the last time the report headline was posted it was higher. But because it went from 7 to 8 during that cycle, it is treated as an increase by the time the headline is posted.

Not fully certainly that is the cause, I'll be able to determine more with the profile.

I don't see where it went from 10 to 9. Shouldn't you be reading bottom to top because the times are increasing. So for Talison for example, #5 at 7:59 increased to 8 (don't have history shown so can't determine if this is correct). For #3 at 8:41 it says decreased to 9. Should say increased if we are reading this to be 8 increasing to 9. Then #1 at 9:07 it says decreased to 10. Once again this should be increased.

I believe every single one of these in all cases is backwards.

I can still send you a profile or not depending on whether I'm completely missing the picture here.

No, you're right, the indicator is flipped, apparently largely with FDN based changes, but overall its aligned with a value marker that operates in two directions (and two sets of value ranges), which confuses the reporting system. I'll be working on a fix for the next update.

Do you need to have the steam version to fix this? I have the same issue

Post by **Vice** » Sun Mar 20, 2016 7:24 am

No, the direct download update also includes the fix, but you do need to update it to apply it. Also, keep in mind that the fix will only apply going forward with new entries. Old entries will still show their original descriptions. If the problem persists for you, please e-mail a copy of the profile you are using (starwraith.com > contact).
