Instantly put on defeat screen when loading a galaxyforge map.

from Sins Forums
Whenever I try to play on a map I created in Galaxy Forge, it sticks me in the defeated screen.

Before anyone asks/says to do this:
1) I have changed the versionnumber to 1 (Else it wont show up)
2) I have stuck it in the C:\Sins of a solar empire\Galaxy folder (I dont install my games to program files on my main HDD).
3) The 2 players do have ownership of the planets.

Is there anything else im supposed to do?

Thanks.

You using a mod or not? that could be the problem, i know it was for me when 1.03 first came out.

Yeah, if you're using a mod with an outdated gameplay.constants and the mod is set to load on startup, this will happen. Only thing I can think of if the 3 things you listed are all proper :)

Yea, I found out last night, tried to play another game and noticed the same thing happened (On official / normal maps).

I changed a mod I was working on, but the mod loaded on game start up and the checksum was not updated. So I am guessing it was a checksum issue (When I disabled and re-enabled it, the checksum was different, and the mod / maps worked fine).


Anyway, thanks for the replies :)

there were apparently a nice few files changed so most mods need to be updated with the new files. Due to this a nice few problems have been occurring with mods built for 1.02 and not updated for 1.03, distant stars and the mars effect both don't work with 1.03 as of yet.
