[PATCHED!] Game-breaking Buy/Sell profit bug is back

[Domineeriv]

PATCHED - YOSHI HAS CONFIRMED ON THE DISCORD THAT THE LATEST 5.8MB HOTFIX IS FOR THIS BUG!

A huge thank you to all of the dev team for fixing this so fast!

----

Bug: buying and selling certain items repeatedly causes the game balance to go into the negatives and causes users to be able to buy high-tier items already at match start.

I managed to reproduce it in bot matches, but It's probably better to not to throw too much salt onto the wound by giving the method here ...

It's really reliable on my side, I can easily reproduce with only a mouse, no need for hard macros or whatever

You're very correct. It's both easily and consistently reproduced, hence the thread.

I recall this bug was happening once in the past, and back then it got a hotfix almost instantly when reported, so I'm optimistic it'll happen again.

I'm very very tempted to start a game to use it once before it gets patched, for the fun of it ... But then I'm afraid to get banned or ruin the game for some players ... "With great power comes great excuses, just ask politicians, or something like that"

I guess try it in a bot/custom match? But yeah don't try this stuff online, ruins the games
