Why does my full Version look like the demo?

[Kuroth]

Hi.. Just got my full Version of SE and
put the 1.19 patch on.

When I go to "NEW GAME" and then under
"Players" select "Add Existing", it
only shows 8 races to select. I thought
the full Version had 20 and the demo
only had 8?

Thanks for your help!

Kuroth, are you trying a quick start? MM only had 4 races missing from the quick start menu. If you look at the lower right there is a little arror which will take you to the 2d page of quick start races.

To add those missing races you have to add lines 17 thru 20 in the settings.txt file within the "Data" folder.

Hope this helps.
I tried to put my lines from the file in here but they wouldn't fit.

Thanks pathfinder for getting back to
me so quick but it is not in quick start but
in "New Game". When you go into "New Game"
then under "Players" select "Add Existing"
and these is where only 8 show up???

Thanks for any help anyone can give..

Kuroth, make sure your icon is pointing to the full Version and not the demo Version. If that is not the problem, try uninstalling and reinstalling the full Version.

Thanks Kimball... I had already uninstalled
the demo before I installed the full game.

Kimball are you saying that when you select
"Add Existing" you see 20 or 8???

I have 2 friends who I also got to buy this
game and they only see 8 also..

It looks like to me the only way you can
select form the 20 races is under the
"Quick Start" option??? This does not
seem right???

Anyone???

Thanks!

I reinstalled the game and I still only have 8 emp files in the empires directory. Should there be more?

Thanks,
