Occupations shown at wrong locations in multiplayer when different localization settings at host and client 24/12/2021 at 15:10 #143089

Hello,
I had a previous topic with the same issue, but without resolution.
Multiplayer occupation display

A week ago I played London Bridge with my friends, and I experienced similar issues, that occupations were shown at incorrect locations.
But this time I think I found a solution to my issue.

The host was hosting from Hungary, therefore assumedly using their computer with localization settings set to "Hungary", while I played with my Windows 10 localization set to "Ireland".
Notable difference for example the usage of decimal markers (point vs comma), but there might be other differences as well.

I set my localization to "Hungary", then restarted SimSig and reconnected to the host, and all occupation were shown correctly.

In my previous computer (see linked thread above), I used "Hungary" as my localization setting, and I connected to UK hosts, possibly with UK localization.

Summary:
For me, it looks like that systematic errors happen in the occupation display when the host and the client has different localization settings.
