Cheat flags more(always?) post-patch?

Not sure...

from GalCiv2 Forums
I'm sure it's just something obvious I'm doing wrong, or overlooking... but I'm getting the cheat flag on all my test games. If you look at my test character, "Lothar the Idiot" - he's not doing so hot... he's 0-6. Lothar the Idiot

First I was testing to make sure a person couldn't cheat with SHODAN... then I found I couldn't get ANY game to not get cheat flagged - custom race or not. I'll give it some more games... but if anyone or Kyro? has any kind of insight into what's changed that would be great.

Things I've changed in main game data directory:
* music files
* sound files
* stars.xml

Changed or added via My Docs (not using mod setting, but they're loaded)
* Logos
* Portraits
* Planets
* Stars
* Nebula
* Breakthrough and the Grid images
* Resource Icons
* Overlays

Thanks!

I acutally uninstalled and reinstalled COMPLETELY clean, and even used a new profile here on the metaverse, played a game without modifying anything - and STILL got cheat flagged. I'm 100% certain it's a bug.

It is indeed appearing to flag ALL meta games started under 1.5X. I'd suggest avoiding metaverse games until the devs can remedy this.

DA and DL? Or just DA?

DA.

Ahh, good to see this confirmed. I did manage to get a debug.err in the other thread - had to launch DA as administrator (since this is Vista, that's not the default) to get the debug.err.

It is indeed good to see this dealt with, perhaps a sticky is in order to alert folks?
