Re: [Rails-devel] Bug report in 1835 (Clemens)- Gameincorrectly identifying a company director.

[Mike B. <com...@ip...>]

Given the number of variables required to reach the point where this takes
place, I would expect it to be a very rare event (otherwise it would have
been noticed and fixed before now!). Nevertheless, a warning to people that
old 1835 saved games might not load properly might be worth noting with the
release which has the code corrected - people might want to hold off on
updating until their game is finished, just in case. I'm not sure whether
this would impact 1835 games that have an option other than Clemens selected
or not.

This was a classical programmer's error: a variable controlling this aspect
was reset in the wrong place in the loop over companies:  it was set for BA
and not reset for HE.
I have pushed a fix to master.

I suppose this is a pretty rare case.  Saved games where such wrong actions
have been chosen will not reload after this fix.
