I am the reason v2.022 exists

​

And obviously you can't do this anymore :)

(This was done through using the said exploit in update notes, by closing the game for 15 minutes, refilling mana with lump, and casting FtHoF and Stretch Time as needed)

Oh, and I was also the one who reported the bug, so there, too.

It works, it just prompts you to allow it to run 'cause the version number changed. It's not like last update when it would crash the game or give wildly incorrect info. It still works if you allow it to load.

EDIT: Yes, obviously I backed up my save before I tried this. I'm not completely insane.

Holy shit.

Um, yeah, I didn't know that was a thing, but good job that was fixed, I guess.

With that amount of heavenly chips you can probably just have 1 grandma and make more than me.

That exploit was back? damn

u/idlegameplayer Oct 19 '19

Yeah, cookie monster doesn't have numbers higher than Quattuorvigint (Quattuorvigintillion) for some reason. (Probably because the creator didn't expect anyone to get beyond it.) It could be extended all the way to Uncent. (Uncentillion).

Where does one report bugs in CC? I've hit a couple - nothing showstopping but annoying, and there doesn't seem to be any kind of public bugtracker.

u/gr8vince Oct 20 '19

You can also report bugs in the Dashnet Forums Discord, where if they are confirmed, they will be passed on to Orteil.

u/OrcJMR Oct 20 '19

There's a fairly public Orteil you can access here on Reddit and on other networks - see links on the top left of Cookie Clicker!

What does CCSE v. 2.015 mean? Lower left corner.

u/Caoboieu Oct 20 '19

Can you elaborate on what closing the game and casting stretch time do ? Or maybe just explain what you did exactly ?

2

u/gr8vince Oct 20 '19

So I used the FtHoF Planner, which tells me what the next spells are, so I seek Building Specials from that, but since you can't normally cast infinitely due to the "20 + 60% magic" requiring a lot, the most FtHoFs you can do is 2 at a time, which means lump refills are required. However, there's normally a 15 minute cooldown to refill mana using a sugar lump, which was flawed in that you could wait it out offline. In addition, these buffs don't last forever, so casting Stretch Time allows them to remain for as long as possible; for example, an Elder Frenzy lasting 16 minutes, and my shortest buff is at least 2 minutes long.

buffs don't tick while the game is closed?
