Help: Can only build on the equator?

from GalCiv2 Forums
I tried to look if someone had the same issue but couldnot find it. The problem is this,
all my planets give buildable squares on the equator only - and also the planets look bland. Not sure how I got this one - does not look like a feature since it looks ugly - even if it is not a real problem.

Tried to get a picture in but the insert picture tool got me puzzled (glad the games interface is muchbetter than that one..). I run 1.3 beta - no other bugs or issues...

Thanks for a solution guys!

I thought this was issue in previous betas only. Back then using Regional Setting other than English United States in your OS caused this to happen. I had it in 1.3b1 but not after that.

Yep, make sure you're updated to the current beta if you're going to use them. There's no point running a beta if it's not the very latest. This particular issue was fixed in 1.3b2.

Thanks for the quick response. Funny thing is that I do run what I believe is the newest version (it says 1.3 3X), and if I start a new game I still get the same layout (i.e. I can imagine that my current savegame will not be magically repaired...)
Suggestions?

Hopefully that issue hasn't been reintroduced, since the final is due tomorrow... at any rate, you should be able to temporarily solve the issue by setting your regional settings in control panel to US English.

Unfortunately the Regional Settings trick does not work for me. I set everything to US English (location, language - you name it) - in fact most of my settings were on that (even if I am Dutch). Did a restart. No change... Did Imiss something?

Any other suggestions? Should I report a bugreport somewhere??
Thanks.

Unfortunately it did not work. Most of my settings are in US English already - but I changed everything I could find to US English; did a restart. No luck. Which exact settings are we talking about?
Getting a bit frustrated. Any other suggestions? Should I report a bug report somewhere?

The problem is in having a locality that switches , and . as compared to the US usage (1,000,000.00). If you fix that setting it should be fine.

We had this fixed in a prior beta of 1.3 but apparently it crept back in--Cari's back on it though so hopefully there will be a minor new version of 1.3 soon with that fixed again.

Thanks Kryo. (Sorry about the double post - I thought something went wrong and then Icould not delete my post)
Indeed I do use the European style of numbers, did not try to switch that one back since it did not seem very relevant. As you may know in particular the date styles are different - most Europenas prefer to have the day before the month - therefore I always switch that and en passant also switch the numbers - but that is not major.
[Also even though I did notice the Stardock logo I just thought you were a helpful gamer - so the bit about hte bugreport was a bit silly then.]
(So this is what beta testing is all about huh?
