This is a known problem. After inflation got "readjusted" (#7589), certain values no longer make sense - the settings window can't know what year your game starts at, so can't apply inflation to it sanely.

Likely the solution here is to change the setting to be "percentage of initial money" (200%, 300%, etc) - this was also previously mentioned in #8627

(Please fill out the template, it's there for a reason!)

Apologies, template added (GitHub newbie, here).

Thanks for the comment, this does seem to be related to #8627, I didn't notice it prior to 1.11.0.

Hi If this issue still persists can you please assign this to me? I would like to work on this.

We don't generally assign issues. If you want to work on it, feel free to do so :)

@LordAro thanks for the reply, are there any documentation of the game available?

@LordAro Hi, upon installing the game, the config file is not present in the supposed path, am I missing anything?
Any other way to get the file?

Did you start it at least once ?

Hi @glx22 Yes I did, it gave me a popup saying game does not have graphics would you like to download, I clicked on yes and I guess the game crashed as I have a crash dump created in the OpenTTD folder in documents directory.

EDIT: Kept the OpenGFX package in the baseset directory and it's working now, let me know if the earlier crash dump is of any interest to you.

Hi @glx22 While trying to reproduce the issue in version 13.0 I could not borrow more money than the set Max loan limit. I followed the steps mentioned above, am I doing something wrong or is this issue fixed in this version?

Hi can anyone give me some idea about whether this issue is fixed or am I not following the correct steps? Is there any other way to reach you? Any slack/discord channel?

I think the "Inflation" setting is off for your game.

Thanks @rubidium42, I have started working on this issue and will get back to you with some substantial work in a couple of days.

When trying to "fix" this bug, keep in mind that the maximum (and initial) loan amount is intentionally scaled with inflation, the "bug" is just the phrasing of the setting, which doesn't make sense anymore with the new inflation model, which simulates inflation before the game start year

In your opinion does it make any sense to work on this issue then?

Hi, Any update?
