v1.09 unplayable - bug in player colors jacked it all up

July 28, 2008 7:37 PM from

I tried to post pics to illustrate, but that's apparently beyond me. When I start a single player game it looks normal. I select a scenario and go to the game setup screen. My player is setup as red... the 3-7 computer players are all assigned a unique color (each computer player is set up as it's own team, aka FFA). Everything looks good, but when I start the game, I'm suddenly a light green player and all the computer players (including pirates) are red! It seems stupid to bitch about colors, but it's impossible to play 7 opponents you can't tell apart. Anyone else finding this?

I'm probably try to reinstall the game... but that could take days with Impulse.

thanks

This has been addressed previously I believe at https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/319200

Make sure the Show Mesh Team Colors is enabled in the Effects menu and that Use Team Colors in the User Interface menu is disabled. That should fix your issue.
