Metaverse submission - Difficulty level "Anomalous"? Help, Frogboy!

from Stardock Forums
I just completed a loooong game in a Gigantic galaxy at beginner difficulty level - after completing the game by going Beyond Human (I was fortunate in that I had a corner of the galaxy to myself while the Arceans wiped out nearly everyone else), I submitted my score to the Metaverse only to be given a "0" and my difficulty was classified as "anomalous". Now, I know that I've not modified anything - I haven't downloaded anything from the library (only Stardock), so is there something I'm not aware of? My score was actually fairly high, as I'd managed to build a large, successful empire over the years. Anybody else have this happen to them? Thanks...

It means you are very bad at the game :p

Just joking :D

I think there are a couple of mods from the library that can cause the game to crash...maybe these mods caused this error????

sixtoes - for some reason the game thought you were cheating. Send me your saved game and I;ll look into it
([email protected]). Anomolous doesn't mean you were cheating of course, just that something got triggered.

TNT - possibly, though I don't think I downloaded any of the mods aside from the ones from Frogboy (Smuggling and Strange Animals, I think).

Frogboy - thanks, will do that tonight... :)

I had that also on one of my games. Score of zero and difficulty anamolous. Also a victory by Beyond Human. Annoying because it was a very difficult game and I was pleased with myself for winning.

I haven't used any mods at all yet. This was just after updating to 1.03whatever. Since then I've got a cultural victory that shows up correctly.

I still have the save game. Will send it to you, Toadguy.
