Hi,

Thanks for your hard work in creating this wonderful program.

I have run this program twice so far for 1830, it is so amazing to help the game play.

However, I experience the program became idle in both trials that even since a 5-trains is bought and a brown tile is laid, the game stopped at the following operating round(5th operating round, in both cases).

When that happened I saw a railroad company was activated for its turn to lay down a track tile, but none of map tiles were reacting for a new or update tile. Skip was also not available, therefore, I got stuck at that moment.

Hopefully, this issue can be fixed so this wonderful program become 'more' towards flawless.

Thanks

Hi Alex,
Do you have a saved file that shows the problem?

The saved file does not show up. GitHub accepts only a limited set of file types. I would suggest to put it into a .zip file.

Strange, the file still does not appear. Not sure what could go wrong. Could you please send it by email to ***@***?

What you are seeing must be caused by a run-time error somewhere. I tried to reproduce it with one of my old saved files, but did not see anything going wrong, either with the latest release 2.5.0 or with my newer development code. Which Rails version are you using?

Got the file now, thanks.

There seems to be a problem with handling the upgrades of multi-city tiles, in this case the brown Erie home tile. I suspect an error has crept in while fixing a similar problem in 1837. This is hard stuff, so it may take a bit of time.

It turns out that the brown tile lay on hex E11 (the Erie home hex) was illegal. The preceding tile 59 had exits to NW and SW for its two cities, but the new tile 64 now connects these two edges from one city. This has confused the program's housekeeping of stops and connections such that a run-time error occurred.

Of course, Rails should not have allowed this tile orientation, and in the past it worked fine, so there is a real bug behind this issue.

I have mailed Alex a slightly shortened game file, up to just before the error, to continue the game from there if he wants so.
