Score 0? Why?

I just won a game (1.10A) and it says my score is zero - why? I was trying out some of the cheese from the forum, so I am not too unhappy, but this is the first time I have ever seen a score of 0... Without knowing, I assume the scoring system detected something I did and deemed it ineligible for a score: but what? (I have no mods etc.)

Your planet quality may have been too high or you had massive amounts of cash so it got flagged as anomalous. Try resubmitting if that isn't the case.

I had quite a few of those, you are not the only one, I believe that is some kind of bug with the expansion pack.

I've never yet got a score of zero, and I've been playing the latest expansion for months. If it wasn't for the fact that you were trying out cheese I'd suggest sending it to Cari and finding out what flipped the score. Would be interesting to know, just in case it wasn't the cheese.

There are some games being flag when you get too much money at the beginning of the game, Carielf already check some of the games and not problem were found. so still waiting.

I haven't gotten any erronous games since the expansion (or at all for that matter). I have a theory however, perhaps this whole zero score thing has to do with cheat keys . . . hear me out? I noticed that the game saves 'whatever' settings you have when you exit the game played previously, these become the default in the set up for the next game.

I think somehow games are being flagged even though all the cheats are off . . . so its a coding problem introduced with the new cheat keys. It's a theory anyways . . . this is a major issue at the moment, I really hope SD are looking into it . . . :notsure:

'But I never used the cheat keys!', I hear you say . . . well its not that difficult to accidently hit crtl-something etc etc. Its a thought anyways . . .

Hmm. Thanks guys. AFAIK, I didn't use cheats, and my cash at the end was very negative from the last invasion - maybe that was it... I'll try playing the last few turns again, and this time leave my cash over -500 and see if that makes a difference.

Ralegh, did you send your game to me?

CariElf I tried to reply to your e-mail but it came back to me as undeliverable. I opened a tread some way down on the first page with the error message I got.
