Anyone else having issues when attacking saying you don't have enough oil?

I am trying to send ~4.5M units and have ~280k barrels. Still says I don't have enough oil. Never had this issue before.

Just bought another 100k oil and nada

When it gives you that error just click SEND like it didn't display and go on with the attack. I have come to find out that it really means nothing.

i've had a fun error where I've input 4.5m and it's come through to the attack screen as 4,499,999 despite having enough jets and oil...

But no, no issues with my oil not being good enough for my jets - if they start being picky about oil, I execute them.

I've had that issue frequently, and haven't been able to figure out what causes it. As crest mentioned though, I think you can just click "send" again and the attack will go through.

Try using the refresh military information link on the war room page, that usually fixes the error.

What browser are you using?

It's an ajax call and EE didn't code it to add a unique identifier (like timestamp) parameter so that each call is considered different as opposed to using the initial cached request.

If you can't send even after buying enough oil, change what you're sending by 1.. so instead of sending 1,000,000 send 1,000,001 and the ajax call will be different and it should work then.

I've definitely seen this issue before qzjul.

It's easy to reproduce.
A) Try to send more units to attack than you have oil for (and fail).
B) Open a new tab with the market and buy enough oil.
C) Go back to the tab in (A) and try to send your army again. It will fail because it still thinks you have the old amount of oil.

Yep Xin's method of reproducing is correct, Bee's way of fixing is quickest/easiest solution.

It doesnt even have to be a timestamp, just add a variable that holds a random number appended at the end
