Wow, that's a pretty bad score for the first month!

Actually thought the first month went pretty well. On superhuman, shot down and recovered 3 ufos, won the terror mission (at considerable expense in manpower), researched up to laser rifles, and got the second base started in east asia. Even captured a navigator from a small ufo. My score? Negative 268 million! The nations were happy, upped my funding about 700k, what the hell is this all about?

I'm just going to hazard a guess that this must be some sort of bug.

 

Which version of UFO are you playing by the way? DOS or Windows, and if DOS, which version?

It's the collector's edition for windows.

Hmm... this is definitely a new one for me then. I've got the same version and have played it for many, many hours without seing anything like this.

 

Might be worth loading it up just before the end of the month and trying to take a screenshot of the end of month score page since it's so unique.

It can happen - I've seen it asked about many times here and there.

 

The value storing the points is corrupted well into the negatives, and a bit of wrap-around (or bits falling off either end of the variable) and the countries are penalising you with positive funds.
