Bug help

from GalCiv2 Forums

The game ran smoothly, until yesterday...

Every time now, when I start a new sandbox (no metaverse) game in TA (ultimate edition, kalypso dist. euro.), I either win on the very first turn (alliance victory), or everybody is in team with me. Is this a known bug? Ok, the version is only 1.97 (for the moment I have snail-slow internett connection), but it seems strange since it appared to work properly before.

Anyhow I tried to reinstall it after an uninstall operation, but all the old highscores and old saves and this particular new bug were still alive! How do I get a 100% clean install? I am using Vista.

What is actually the difference between alliance status and team status?

 

Thanks in advance

An alliance can be broken, a team cannot.  Either way, you cannot declare war on your allies/team and thus it may trip the alliance victory.

A reason it may have turned on magically may be due to the campaign.  Often the setting from the campaign will spill over into the setting for a sandbox game's next setup.

I had a somewhat similar experience in that - in DA sandbox games - I suddenly found that I was teamed with one or two races at the start.

The fix that finally worked for me was to specify which other races were in thge game (instead of random which was my normal method), and to then manually reset all the initial dispositions towards me to some level like Neutral.  The game that began then did not have that problem, and I do not think I have seen it again since.
