COO Bug

[Riser]

COO has started to changed my "Camera" products to "Software" products in my Electronic Stores in my mid game around 2011. When I manually reset to "Camera" sale Coo changes immediately. Even if i hire a new Coo, she does the same as well.

I've attached the save file.

Also I realized COO ignores/changes Camera product from every other store or warehouse. If I set my warehouse input to a Camera Factory COO changes the input.

Have you set the management policies as shown in the attached screenshot?

[Riser]

Yes, already done that. I set that option always as No.

I loaded your save game and ran it till the end of 2011. Your Electronic Stores which are still selling the same cameras by end of 2011. I didn't notice any changes to them.

Could you let me know the firm description of the Electronic Stores that you encountered the issue of the COO AI switching the products? You could see the firm description at the bottom of the firm detail screen. Or you could just capture a screenshot of that store and post it here.

[Riser]

COO changes only the "Camera" product. In the save file that i've attached, it already had changed it in every single store. Also, it doesn't matter which store is. It changes from every store that COO controls. Please see the screenshots;

[David]

Could you please provide me with the save game before the AI switching the products? So that I could load your save game and observe how the AI switches the products.

I've attached the save file. Please see the screenshot.
Fife Heights / Electronics Store 014
As soon as you run the game you can observe the problem.

[David]

Please be informed that cameras are obsolete products in the game, superseded by digital cameras.

AI always replaces obsolete products with better ones, as obsoleted products have no or extremely low demands.

[Riser]

Ok. So after the invention of digital cameras, Cameras will have no demand and they will be useless in the game.
