Major Reload Bug

from Stardock Forums
I have replicated this in every game so far. When reloading a game it effects the cultural ownership of sectors. I had saves that when I quit I was at 80% control and when I reloaded it was at 37%. I even tried it when I was on the countdown for victory. It looks almost like the cultural effects from starbases get wiped out on a reload.

Hi¨,
this is a know bug, and is cosmetic only. After a few turns everything is back to normal :)

Hope it helps

This is because of the complex algorithm that generates the influence. It takes a few turns to gather the necessary data to generate Influence. Keep in mind that this should affect all of the players (view the Influence graph to see this). After a few turns, it will back to where it was when you saved.

Well, in the game that was 2 turns from a victory, after the reload it took at least 3 years for a victory. (Why didn't I just play them out? Because I'm a tester). It reset the clock because I was no longer over 90%. Not quite cosmetic, but not a total game killer, I guess.

Does this reset the countdown to cultural victory?

If you're at 1 month to go and Save the game and the reload, will you end up having to start the countdown over?

Warp, the same thing happened to me. In fact, while I was playing out the end, all of the AI worlds defected, adn I ended winning a military victory 5turns ahead of my cultural victory. My score ended up being higher because of it. That's somewhat of a silver lining, but it was a little annoying. Cari mentioned that she is looking into it to see if it can be fixed (though it may not be possible).
