Metaverse submission problem in 1.05

from Stardock Forums
Hmm, trying to post again because this doesn't seem to be working...

I just upgraded from 1.03 to 1.05 and played a game on a medium map and achieved a military victory. The end game screens mentioned that my score was great and it would be the envy of others on the metaverse

Anyway, as I clicked thru the end game stats and finished with them I expected to go to the old metaverse submission screen. But I didn't, I went right to the main menu. I reloaded the endgame save and the same thing happened. So then I went to the metaverse and checked out my stats and sure enough my game was not logged.

Does anyone know why this might be?

My connection has gone from Cable to DSL recently if that might make any difference.

I don't see anything glaring so let's make a check list:

Once all conditions are met try again - sometimes there's a small amount of time when a connection just goes dead or something else goes wrong. Computers do that.

Is your dsl working properly?
Can you access "galciv.com/metaverse/" from the game's main menu?

Someone else had a temporary Metaverse problem and had a cable connection. It seems like the Metaverse is just spotty today. Sometimes taking games, sometimes not. Besides, in v1.05, there is a message that will appear when (or in my case if) you are returned to the main menu that will say submission successful. Only thing to do is to keep that save separate from any new game you want to start and try submitting it tomorrow.

May be a temporary Metaverse problem? I currently have two games submitted, one in version 1.03, and one in version 1.05. I've been trying to submit my third game for three days now. I get the submission successful screen, but my score doesn't get posted. I'll keep trying while playing my fourth game. :(

I have the same problem EVERY time i try to submit, it always gives me the SUCCESSFUL SUBMISSION page but never shows the games. I have given up trying.
If i just hit SUBMIT, it will sit there forevere and do nothing. I hit SUBMIT a 2nd time and it shows me the SUCCESS page, but alas, it never registers. I have the newest non-beta version according to Stardock

Are you submitting under the right name Ungerpup??

I think you should be submitting under your player name, which in this case is Ungerpup.

Um, I tried again today and still no luck.

And yes, I can access the metaverse from the main menu screen.

What I didn't mention before is that the game doesn't even take me to the submission screen. I just go directly from the end game stats back to the main menu. In 1.03 and earlier versions the game at least took me to the submission screen. I had just assumed this was gone in 1.05 and that you auto-submitted now until I saw someone else in this thread mention they go to that screen.

So something deeper is wrong here.

That is normally the case when there is no active internet connection present at the end of the game. But that doesn't make sense in your case. Assuming that you are posting from the same computer that the game is played on, if you can connect to here and have a persistent internet connection through a DSL, the submit screen should appear at the end of the game. Looks like you need the help of the support people.

I have a similar problem. I finished a game in 1.05, but I had to dial-up to submit it. I minimized galciv, got online, and submitted it. It said submission sucessful after I submitted it, but it doesn't show up.

If you still have the end game save (or a save close to the end), try submitting it again to see if it takes. There is always a possibility that the Meta may be partly down and not updating properly. But if it doesn't want to work after two or three times over a couple of days, write tech support.

From what I understand this is a known issue with DSL and is being looked into... I have had this problem as well from day 1.
