Investment Funds Buying All Month (Little Upsilon)

I did 30 IPO's earlier, between the 20th and 27th or so of the month. NO investment funds whatsoever got even one share of any of those 30 corporations.

30 IPO's, no investment funds.

I keep telling everyone, you CAN'T IPO during processing. I don't know the times for LU or KB, but here they are for GR/WG/FB:


4:00 PM to 6:40 PM EST
11:00 PM to 4:40 AM EST
9:00 AM to 11:40 AM EST


For the UK, add 5 hours. Central Europe, add 6 hours.

For PST, subtract 3, MST, subtract 2, CST, subtract 1.


I did my IPOing between 5:20 PM and 6:25 PM, for those wondering. I could have started as early as 4, and ended as late as 6:40 and still would have had no problems.

IPOing hasn't changed, just make sure you don't do it during processing times.

My IPO's on LU in Aug 2372 didn't process at all. I started on the 21st of the month.

On LU, same principle should apply. Start the next hour after processing is done, and hurry up to get it done before the next round begins.

uhhh. The point of this thread is that LU is not processing the same, but glad to hear GR is still working.

Start after LU processing is done (when score updates).

quaxocal, are you just not reading what we are saying? The IV's ARE buying all month on LU, even after processing times. Christ. One born every minute :P

My suggestion would be to try doing it after the late night update (whenever LU takes the longest to update, on GR that's from 11 pm to 5 am EST).

If its still confirmed that IV's are buying on LU even during that period, then something changed.

Also make sure these are fresh state (or private) corps which have not been IPOed before.

LU also 'skips' from about the 24th of the game month to the 1st or 2nd of the next game month around 3PM EST. I have found this a bit odd as well...

Messiah, sorry, I have read what you and others are saying, I guess since its working on GR, I thought maybe there would be other issues causing problems on LU, rather than them actually making IF's buy all month there. Just wanted to make sure those other issues were double-checked first.

I will definitely let everyone know if the problem occurs on GR.

As for remedies, others have suggested some good ones, I have nothing more to offer there at this time but will see what else could work.
