The suggestion is that values between 2000000000 and 2147483647 be displayed as the actual value rather than 2000000000, and value above 2147483647 be displayed as "2147483647+".

I thought the game already did that in your profile.Quote:

2147483647 is the largest value of long integers.
Would you please explain that? Why is that specific number the limit?Quote:

-2n-1s place. It is the most significant bit, meaning it has the
greatest value. In Two's compliment the most significant bit is
becomes the "sign bit" and indicates the sign of the number. If the
sign bit is 0 then largest number that can be stored in the remaing
31 bits is (2n-1-1) or 232-1-1 = 231-1 = 2,147,483,648 -1 =
2,147,483,647.
Yea, computer science! :D Need to get back into that at some point...
As for the problem, Idk if it is worth it for Supercell to increase the data type size, just for the few people that have been playing CoC so long to have maxed out a rather large data type. After hitting that bigger cap, I think the system just stops recording, since it can't count that high. So getting the actual number would be impossible at that point.
I think it's not worth it.
- Few players have reached the cap (so far)
- The cap for Long is 263 - 1 = 9223372036854775807. I doubt anyone would even get through 1/4 of that.
- It requires more space to store the value. Multiply it by the number of records saved (in other words, the number of players), and it might raise storage issues.
I meant that, increasing the cap to 2147483647 doesn't require a bigger data type size at all.Quote:

Oh, I thought that maybe you meant it hit the manual cap, then the data type cap and showed that at some point.
I guess they could remove that manual cap, but it would be a relatively small increase, and will be maxed out anyway.
Should just show a broken counter or something, than just an even number. Would make more sense.
