Game doesn't use some startup values.

This is on 4E after a total uninstall/install. The startup vaules for race name, leader, home planet name, and political party are not used by the game. There may be others, and I will add them in this thread when I see what they are.

This was happening with 4D also. At least, now, as I experience it, if you set race name, leader, etc. it will not apply to the game you are starting, but it will be there for the next new start. It seems the pref.ini file is read before the choices can be made and not updated. Only with a new start does it update from the prior choices.

What I saw on 4C was that the game never picked these values up from either prefs.ini.

I just checked my prefs.ini (both of them) and they have not been changed.

Still happens on 0.81(b).006. I entered them on the start up panels for a new game but they did not get used for the game. Also, the entered values did not get saved in teh prefs.ini file in the "my games\gc2" folder.
