Why is cheat codes showing up?

I dont get it, the last game i played on the metaverse i didn't us cheats.

from GalCiv2 Forums
ok i was playing a game with dread lords, altarian, drengin, Thalan and myself the Archin Upheaval. the metaverse says that i used cheats, but i didn't (i lost that's one thing to prove i didn't). i also wrote a story about it and the story has no indecation that i used cheats. so why is it saying i'm using cheats?

any imput would be great.

Ps. i have also erase my score before coz it said i used cheats, i was playing medium, with drengin and i was the altarian.

There are a number of things that can trip cheat detection, including modified race configurations (beyond what's available to change in-game), modding the metaversedata folder's contents, and actually using cheats. Since you've deleted the score off your record already though, we can't look at that to see if anything was off.

If you played the game all in one session and haven't started GC2 again since, the debug.err may indicate at what point the cheat flag was set. If you played across several sessions and you're running the latest 1.6 beta patch (strongly recommended) there's a notice each time you load the game if the save has been cheat flagged already.

thank you, i should have told you that i have v1.0 and can't get the patch or updates. i think i know what set it of though, my game has a fault in it i loaded up my empire 'Archin UpHeaval' and it said that i was 3 points over the limit. i checked and 1 point was on diplomacy, 1 on social production and 1 on Hit Points.

thanks for telling me that or i might not have found that game fault.

hope to here from you more.
