Niel assures me there was no hat password on SBTC...

I hope there isn't some other corruption.

And we're off. Good luck, all. And a big thanks for Neil for all the work put forth in setting up this rather unique (at least to me) game setup!

Nearly off - a few people have uploaded - so that's good.

When 2401 generates this thread can be closed.

Optimism is one thing, but I think that might be pushing it somewhat...

I wil be a bit delayed.
I have not played since when there was no license and I lost first turn because of a duplicate serial number.
Some of you guys must have the same issue Smile
I hope I can get a serial number from Ron - I have made a donation and made the request.

I'm of the opinion that we should redo the first turn - it's too important not to.

Only one person needs to do anything different - redo the serial, open the existing X and then delete it and save again. Submit that X, and the rest of our original X's and start again.

Totally agree. It's been a while since I've been on the receiving end of this issue, but if memory serves there's quite a pop hit when it happens. I'd much rather hold for a day or two to sort this out than cripple a player right out of the gate.

I suspect Neil is already all over this.

The penalty for duplication is -20% productivity and -50% growth.

I thought it also messed with ship orders?

Either way - are we waiting for someone to get a unique serial number now? How did two people get the same one?

Question - can Ron generate new keys? I'm thinking in terms of recruiting new people to Stars!...

Yes we are waiting (assuming the 14th vote agreed) for Ron, who is able to issue new serials.

Everyone has unique serial numbers now. Some players have numbers from their box, others get them from lists or key generators, so this issue pops up once in a while. I have no reason to believe either player is to blame. I think I am using a serial from Orca.

Yes sir.

If I receive permission from all players I will regen the game with the same x files already used save one, which will be loaded-deleted-saved to update the serial.
You will be notified when the turn is generated or restored. Until then.

Turn restored and regenerated. The old M files are no good, so go ahead and download the new file for 2401. Schedule is set. You have approx 33 hours to submit. Cheers
