this is no bug. its a feature! showing you that you have gone too far.

i have no idea if this is solved with TTPatch (not yet gone so far with TTPatch), but for TTO and TTD its just normal.

2 ways out:
- keep running the game until your money is above 0.
- fund local authorities with everything possible _before_ your account turns negative.

First of all, it's not a intended feature. It's just because the money is stored in 32 bits and therefore limited to a max of £ 2,147,483,647. Probably Chris Sawyer didn't expect the players to get that rich...

TTDPatch protects you from getting too rich so that your money won't switch to the negative anymore.
And there's no TTPatch...
- keep running the game until your money is above 0.
Doesn't work unless you make a few hundred millions a month... (you go to bankruptcy quite soon)

One way around it is to build a tunnel on a coast at one end of the map to a coast at the other end. The cost should be so prohibitively expensive that it will suck up a billion or so of your cash. Then just keep demolishing and repeating until you're down to a reasonably amount.

(Or play the far superior TTD and use TTDPatch...)

Sorry. Just a useless reference to past very bad happenings on the FLD forum.
