Well the map editor works for me, but as reported in the bug thread, the starting locations for all the races (homeworlds) dont work. Once the game starts the homeworlds are randomly assigned to completely different locations. My homeworld setup is identical to the homeworld setup of the existing custom maps, except mine dont work
Yes I can edit existing maps. Yes my maps have their homeworlds set the same way the existing maps have them set. I am running windows XP. I have no other problems with the game or the editors other than this homeworld/starting issue. Holding shift made no difference. When I start a new game and chose my custom map, under Galaxy Settings where it displays the map I can see all the starting locations/homeworlds in their proper locations with the proper colors etc. However once the game s
I select Human and I select Homeworld. I repeat for all the other races. No race ever starts in the location I designate. Instead those homeworlds become ownerless with an unhappy icon beside them. [Message Edited]
As of 1.49N the starting locations in custom maps (by designating homeworld) STILL do not work. Im not sure if this is intentional or not but its a very obvious problem as it makes custom maps useless (unless im missing something here).
Map Editor or Game bug: When I designate homeworlds for all the races in my custom maps, the races never start in those locations, and those worlds start off with no ownership and with a negative/unhappy morale icon. Any way to fix this? Or is this a beta bug and just be patient for next patch?

nm just found it, custom is under galaxy size :)
Sorry but that doesnt help because I dont see any 'select screen for the maps'. Thats my problem, I cant find the screen/option where I chose my saved map :/
Alright maybe im missing something, but I cant figure out how to play/load the custom maps ive made with the map editor. Anyone care to tell me?
It crashes instantly after loading 100%, on all save games. And the games were saved over the period of the 3 hours. I can understand how 1 save game can get corrupted due to some weird circumstances, but all four? Argh :( Going to reinstall from scratch, update to the newest 1.04, and start a new game. Hopefully this wont happen again
3 hours of gaming, gone. Poof. I have 4 save files that were made during the course, and not a single one of them works. When i load them, GC closes and im staring at my desktop. How can all 4 save files be corrupted? ARGH!!!!!!!!
Sigh (again), reinstalled the game, the bonus pack, and the update, still crashes like crazy
Sigh, now im stuck at a turn that regardless of what I do, every time i press the Turn button the game immediately crashes :(
I get a TON of crashes with the latest 1.04.059 patch, all of them at the technology screen when I press the Next button (and this has never happened before). It is so severe that the game is basically unplayable for me. Stardock, please fix asap!
So does the game automatically make use of hyperthreading or do I have to enable it somewhere?
Ok, im not exactly sure what changed from 1.02 to 1.03 in terms of morale, but since applying 1.03 over half my worlds are at 1 morale, where they were at 100 before patch. Am I missing something here?
Well my excalibur problems have gone away in the new game im playing. The old game i guess is still fudged but in the new one alls good and these things build no problem.
Erm why would you want to zoom on the main screen? Everything is already quite huge. I would more prefer the option to zoom out.
Reloading any save game results in all ship bonuses being removed that were added due to shipyards etc.

Well I dont have ANYTHING running, I am registered with metaverse, and hitting submit just exits me to the desktop. I hate bugs :(
Every time I reload a save game, all ship bonuses that were on ships built at planets that had shipyards etc are lost. So ship A may have 50 attack and 30 defense, I save, reload, and its back down to 45 / 25. This drives me CRAZY. Is there a fix planned soon?
As long as its above 50% youre fine. Lower taxes, build morale boosting buildings, research morale boosting technologies etc to raise your planets morale
Erm ok, well everything seems uptodate on my end, ive installed and reinstalled the game 3 times, with all sorts of combinations like SDC first, game second or vice versa, and excalibur still cant be built properly. Any suggestions what else i can try?
Still gets stuck with 1.02
To fix the excalibur. It cant be built! It doesnt display a picture of the ship, and building reaches 'next turn' and gets stuck at that indefinately.
