[Fixed] Patients and students

[rare_metal]

Example. I have hospital A and B, they working normal. Then i reenter in the game and H A is overfilled and H B is empty. Ok. I remove both and build new ones on the same places. All become normal.
I reenter, H A is empty and H B is overfilled. Ok, once again.
I reenter, H A is ok, H B has less patient than usual and H C is overfilled. Oookay. I remove all hospitals, wait few days, build them again and all become normal. For now.
I reenter... You know what's next.

About students. Elementary schools have similar problem but not so strong. Sometimes reached number is greater than needed. That's odd, isn't it?

Is this problem new with version 233 or did you notice it before?

[rare_metal]

I notice in v 233 but i think it appears earlier. See this thread http://www.theotown.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=885

Hm, it's still difficult to reproduce. If I open the last mentioned city in that thread I see this issue, but when I rebuild them it disappears.

[rare_metal]

Sent current city. When something's wrong it's easy to notice by number of needed/reached patients.

Everything looks great for me. Maybe I fixed it with version 234 by removing some optimizations which caused some code mechanics to be unreliable. Please report when you have tested it

It could just be the population of the neighborhood fluctuating.

Problem was remain when i start v 234. I rebuilded all hospitals and all become normal. I reenter, it seems to be ok.

I paused the game and reenter.


Then i wait few weeks.

That was a hard to find bug. For performance reasons we use sorted lists of all buildings to find near buildings fast. The problem was the insertion algorithm into that list weren't fully precise. Not a problem for most usages, but here, with such a big city, errors accumulated, so some people couldn't find the building nearby.

235 will fix it, I'm sure about that.

Hope so, I also have that problem.
