All I can say is, if I start GC2 with terrans in prefs.ini, it works. If I start with an alien saved in there, it doesn't! It could well be there are other causes, and this is the only one that was affecting me. But hey, it's a start

Hmmm...I might be useful for someone to save a copy of their prefs.ini before they try this so they can send a copy of the both the before and after to Stardock so they can compare them.

I have not bought the Pre-order i am going to buy it in stores!

Good catch Darth Kyro!   I'll pass this onto the devs working on the metaverse so they can get it fixed in code 

This may not be the right thread for this, but whenever GC II minimizes to the toolbar and then expand it agein, it posts an error about a failed code and terminates. Must reload the game and pick up from the last autosave.

You're right, the devs would prefer you either post all your bug reports in the big "bug reports here" thread, or post each bug in it's own thread....

However, the problem you're talking about is known and it used to be alot worse. If you play in Windowed mode, you wont ever have that issue.

Well, from your description in the bug thread you seem to be having a different problem now... If I can get a game finished I'll check it out myself.

Last weekend I finished a game and, got the prompt to post to the metaverse, and successfully posted it. I then reloaded a different game I'd saved and it posted too, although it did so under a different metaverse character name, one that I'd created while having earlier metaverse posting problems. Then yesterday I finished another game, but got no prompt to post to the metaverse. I reloaded from the saved endgamesave, but again it wouldn't post. I can't tell what the difference was. I had logged into the metaverse when starting all 3 games, and was playing as humans in the last 2.
