I have noticed that while I can see ruins on planets in a game, if I go to the Planets window and click "Special," nothing shows up. It may be related.

that perticular bug is related to games upgraded from 1.41 to 1.49

native 1.49 games work fine. depending on the other repercussions of that bug, we may have to restart junkyard wars 2.

The PC I was using when I was working on the map was a straight 1.49 upgrade. My PC at home is a 1.41 to 1.49 update, so I will check that tonight to see if it creates Ancient Ruins Unique or not.

The straight convert from CD install to 1.49 was definately Ancient Ruins Unique.

speaking of which, it has just been revealed to me by the special-ops man himself, that if you upgrade a game in progress from 1.41 to 1.49, not only will ruins not show up properly on the system display and on the planets list, but they will not give you any techs when you colonize them.

hows that for a run-on sentence?

Does this only apply to games in progress, or does it mean that maps created in 1.41 or lower won't work properly in 1.49?
