Custom Race config not saving

it still drives me nuts...

from GalCiv2 Forums
Custom race configuration does not save, so when you finish a game and go to start another you have to reset all the values. Not all that difficult to do, but it's driving me nuts mostly because I tend to play small map games. Did this in both 1.2 and 1.3B1.

There was what seemed to be a related problem with random settings not changing unless you reselected random at each new game startup, but that one looks to have been fixed in 1.3B1.

Oh, I know there is a work-around by editing the file name which essentially sets the custom race values to a new default.

Great game, loving the AI updates, and thank you for fixing the planet invasion/flipping bug where the neutral PQ bonus would not apply correctly. Off to start another game.

Yea, I just overwrote the Custom Race.raceconfig file with the one generated for my custom race. However, until I discovered that, it was a bummer losing those settings. It really does need to be fixed.

Disregard please. Seems the forum has a nasty little habit of posting replies on the wrong thread every once in a while. Wish replies could be deleted, at least there's an edit button, but sometimes the timer is too short.

My custom races are being lost too. Also, I wish custom races had bonus points. Loyalty +15 sucks, and doesn't fit my custom concept. I'd rather have a few extra points to bring me up to "par" with the other races and their special non-point bonuses. Thank you for looking into this, Stardock.

Juason, you can change the abilities that do correspond to the options.  The other ones are just free.
