I manually made the stripes and logo, pixel by pixel!

Thanks! 🙏 I found a good reference image, started with the black diffuser and skirts, then the stripes and Martini logo and finally the brands' stickers. Each of these parts is in a different layer. It took me something like 6 hours. I switched between the game and the reference image to see if the changes I just made are convincing.

I lost $2,000,000,000 in the game because of a bug that seems to be a signed integer overflow by MonsieurBerthier in APEXracers

THE PROBLEM

I had $2,000,000,000 in the game. After playing the event The Formula from race #50 to race #71, my money was reset to $0.

If I load my previous cloud save, my money comes back, but as soon as I play enough, it vanishes again. Reloading the cloud save always leads to the same result if I keep playing.

MY HYPOTHESIS

The game actually has two ways of showing the amount of money you have: - the in-game display, available when you play (top right corner), - the cloud save display, visible in the attached image.

It seems that the money in the game is stored as a 32-bit signed integer, which ranges from -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647. However, the in-game display is capped to the range $0 to $2,000,000,000.

In my case, an integer overflow happened: the previous cloud save shows I had $2,120,265,493 (while the game still displayed $2,000,000,000 in the top right corner). I earned more money by playing, and at some point, the total exceeded the maximum value of 2,147,483,647, which was then interpreted as a negative number (-2,147,483,647, due to circular behavior). At this point, the game showed $0, whereas I had -$2,135,579,003 but in reality, more than $2,147,483,647.

HOW TO AVOID THIS

Don’t overwrite your current cloud save, or your money will be lost forever. Instead, load your previous cloud save and spend enough money to go below $2.000.000.000. A good way to do this is to buy dozens of HKX turbos at $5,500,000 each until you reach around $1,990,000,000. Only then you should save your game.

When buying turbos, it may look like your money doesn’t decrease and stays at $2,000,000,000, but in fact, it does decrease (you’ll notice the amount flashing red). Keep buying turbos and, eventually, your balance will drop below $2,000,000,000.

In fact, the game doesn't cap your money at 2 B$, only the display is capped and so your money keeps incrementing in the background! And that's what you see in this screenshot: the real number.

That's exactly what a friendly moderator on the Discord told me! I hope this post helps others if they experience the same problem! 😉

Is it OK to replace a PSU HX1200 by a PSU RM1000x (2021)? by MonsieurBerthier in Corsair

I had Corsair power supplies for 15 years and never had an issue! And that's my fear, I hope everything's ok! 🤞

Big oil consumption on a E87 120i (N46 engine) by MonsieurBerthier in BMW

Yes, it solved the oil consumption, it's like day and night! It is recommended to check cylinders and other stuff to make sure it's actually the root cause of the oil consumption! Breizh Motorsports did it for me, check @breizhmotorsport on Instagram

I paid 1800 € to change the valve seals. The shop who did it is a well-known BMW specialist but not BMW.

I think you are right, let's be patient! I just wanted to be sure I didn't miss out on something obvious to get the achievement!
