PS3 & 360 both have 64bit CPU.

...or they could just use long long, int64, whatever. Why create a class when you already have built-in types to handle it?

Regarding "why they didn't just fix it", I can think of several reasons. For example, it might have broken backwards compatibility with the save file, which would be a huge pain in the ass. They'd have to write code to read in the old save file format and write out the new one. Also, there might not be room on the screen to handle displaying the numbers that might result... what happens when you get to 10 billion. Does the code even handle that?

Much simpler just to cap it and make sure that overflow isn't possible. And if you have 2.1 billion credits I don't know that not being able to get more is a big deal. (Obviously, losing them because of overflow is a big deal, and hopefully is fixed).

I am pretty sure this is correct. The guys fixed it so that you can't wrap past 2.1B and turn your balance negative, which was the bigger issue here.

Might as well hit the limit in that case. Thanks for the confirmation.

I just randomly remembered this and laughed. By myself. While eating cereals for dinner. I'm weird.

Yes guys, bank roll freezes at 2.1bn in game and Global Event earnings at 4.3bn.
Just don't go over the 2.1bm because at a random point your credits will be reset.
If you get near, just make a few 100m Global Events for 10 minutes to dump 400m credits or so.

I have to do it nearly every week but would have around 40bn credits

2.1 Billion is 2^31. Which means they allocated 32-bits as a signed integer (31 bits for number + 1 bit for positive or minus). Having a bank roll, it's seriously stupid to give it a signed (a number which has a plus or minus) number rather than an unsigned number.

An unsigned 32-bit number goes up to 4.2 billion.

It's not random. What happens is .... you get to 2.1bn .... you enter an event.... you hit a geotag in the game ... and THAT is what will send you back to zero.

You can sell stuff on 2.1bn and you can win events and they won't affect your credits.... it's the geotags that will take 'em.
