I can't start a new game with it, the window where you choose the factions doesn't show correctly. I am forced to change files in my folder...

I'm quite sure (not 100%, though) that it has nothing to do with the patch. There are some errors in our alphax.txt file from ete, in the lines below Custom factions - you can see there's a mess down there. Nevertheless, why we are stuck in a time loop is beyond me.

Congrats to the technos, your powergraph rise is making what the drones did earlier seem feeble and ineffective 

We may need to start thinking about what happens if we cant call the elections at all...and consider how many turns it would take for any faction to grind its way to victory on this map. But lets wait and see what happens

All right, that's out of the house.

Why, thank you, but don't be too modest yourself! It was indeed worthwile to delay the popboom a bit (I was worried I was starting it too late).

As for the rest, we'll know more next turn. I sure hope it's fine, I don't remember the last time I played with such a committed gang as you, guys.

Guys, I'm afraid the problem is still there and it's the election time. Can I ask one of you to submit my turn to Yitzi and ask for help? A friend of mine told me that maybe the problem can be fixed with a debugging tool.

This would greatly affect my in-game decisions (i.e. whether to defend or raze the EG base), so I don't submit my turn this time until we discuss it. I'm afraid I don't see any good solution if tinkering with the files doesn't help...

[Kataphraktoi]

If we cant fix the issue, im in favour of calling the game an all-around draw. Having the governership or not will have a big impact in th near future. Imagine the repercussions if the drones managed to take Flos back using this infiltration to help in warfare;then this bug will have showed itself in a massive way. Even if not, the impact on warfare in general is too big even if not apparent in the f5 screen.

You didn't post this year's turn yet?

He probably meant the one I sent since he wants to be able to call elections.

I think Yitzi needs your save, Vishniac. Or else Kirov's.

[Vishniac]

My save has been posted and already been downloaded 5 times. 

I have just sent him my password by PM.

[Yitzi]

Vishniac's is the most important for me to have, but it would also help a lot if I had Kirov's too.

[Yitzi]

Ok, I've done some looking into it and found that:
1. The problem does occur in Kyrub's...so it's not something I did.  I don't know why it hasn't occurred in other games, though I suspect that the first player being an AI in a multiplayer game may have something to do with it.  (I also have no clue why it hasn't happened before 2199.)
2. While I haven't found how to fix it, I think I am able to update the game date.  (That is, I can update it, and it affects council and the date shown; I don't think there are any ramifications that it does not affect, but I can't be absolutely certain of that.)  The updated-date version of the latest-posted turn is attached, so you can continue your game while I try to figure out what's going on.

Wow. Thank you so much, Yitzi!
