Alient tech not working ACK!!
 

I'm playing with the old SE IV (not gold).
I was seeing some bugs so I installed patch7
and now whenever I land on a planet with alien
artifacts _nothing_ happens. They also no longer
show up in the 'special' planet listing.

I've landed on probably 3 or 4 since this happened
and will hit another one next turn.. Is there
any way to fix this?? This is very upsetting
as I'm a tech junkie in the 4X games http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

This was working before I installed the patch
(at least for the one planet that I recovered
the technology from).

Should I try starting a new game?

Thanks for any advice!

You installed a patch for pre-gold SE4, not a patch for Gold SE4, correct?

Try creating a new game and see if planets with ruins still aren't giving you technologies.

Do what Fyron recommended, and I would add that getting SEIV Gold is well worth it. You will gain access to many more mods, ship sets, and game improvments.

Actually, you can still use the newer shipsets, you just have to get rid of the AI files which aren't compatible, so you won't get the custom AI's http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif
