How to Fix Post-Run Currency Conversion Rounding to Zero

A run that earns no meta currency feels pointless. Integer division truncating small scores to zero is the culprit; rounding properly and guaranteeing a floor fixes the payout.

How to fix it

1. Avoid integer truncation

Compute the conversion in floating point and round to the nearest integer, or use a formula like floor(score / rate) + 1, so small scores still pay out.

2. Guarantee a minimum payout

Award at least a small fixed amount for completing any run so even a quick death yields some meta currency and never zero.

3. Show the breakdown

Display the score, the conversion rate, and the resulting currency on the summary so a miscalibrated rate is visible to players and testers.

Catching the ones you can't reproduce

The hardest version of this to fix is the one you can't reproduce — it only happens on a player's hardware, OS, driver, or save state, under conditions that simply aren't present on your machine. A report that says “it crashed” or “it froze” gives you nothing to act on, so the bug survives release after release while quietly costing you players.

Automatic error capture closes that gap. Each failure arrives with its full stack trace, the device and OS, the build number, and a breadcrumb trail of what the player did right before it broke, so even a failure you have never seen becomes a specific, reproducible issue. Fold identical failures into one signature ranked by how many players each hits, and your worklist sorts itself worst-first instead of arriving as a stream of vague complaints.

This is where a tool like Bugnet earns its place. Its SDK captures every Construct 3 error automatically with the full stack trace plus device, OS, memory, build, and game-state context, folds duplicates into one grouped issue with an occurrence count, and ties each to the build it first appeared on — so you fix the problem that hurts the most players first and confirm it is gone when its signature disappears from the next release.
