Pathfinding errors in Dark Avatar 1.80g.100

from GalCiv2 Forums
I just reloaded Dark Avatar onto a new machine last week. I am getting the same path finding errors with fleets that are described in thie forum for 1.80e.

This bug makes playing the game not an enjoyable experience. Does anyone know of a fix or if Stardock intends to resolve this? It appears to have been going on for a few months now....

This problem was fixed in 1.80g, your problem is most likely:

You have 1.80e, not 1.80g.
Eventhough it appears that you did update it. (This does happen, you are not the only one)

Download this and then run SDC to update DA. You can open it via Notepad or send it through your favorite virus scanner if you're concerned about the contents; it's clean. It changes your DA version number to 1.7 so SDC will properly update DA.

Don't forget to have SDC as well as DA closed when you do this.

You may need to change your server to US-1, via Tools-->Settings:Internet in SDC. Refreshing XML Data in the same screen may also be necessary

Thanks HighWater, this did the trick.

It's a real mystery to me how a new install on a clean machine could get the wrong file download to it.
