I need to ask for a pause in RBPB2, and to apologise for any delay in PBEMs. I think that the internet might be returning by tonight, but I don't trust the idiots down the exchange to have fixed it by then, so might neeed a longer pause.

Thanks in advance,
Krill

It's a pain and a bit of hindrance, but (mostly) all of us are affected by it. I don't really want to start over, though. Aside from all of us having some map knowledge now, I don't want to throw away everything I've done up to this point.

Ick Ick Ick. I don't care terribly about flying blind, though I don't prefer it. I do care about the issue not affecting one player. Who is player zero?

lol I don't know why I find this so funny. I dunno. "Player Zero, the legendary Player." Heh heh.

Anyway, it's Krill.

Maybe the error occurs when graph visibility on player 0 is reached?
I have to run.

Seconded. Flying blind does suck, though.

I can see several players graphs (not saying who they are..) but what I can say, is that demographics is not buggy for me.

Also...damn. I really am the cause of every problem.

I would say that the score=0 bug is only related to the F9 screen (it does some funky stuff with the scores to get the graph min / max, etc ... btw, you lose all of it, not just the graphs). The other places where the score crops up (scoreboard, F8 victory status) don't do anything fancy with the score so they should be ok.

No - that isn't correct.

Ok, so that means we'll play on - I'll upload the save today.

Krill shouldn't hit the F9 key then from now on... smile
