It looks like you still do not understand how the engine calculates 100 turn limit.
1. get starting date from Settings.txt
2. get current game turn.
3. if ([2]-[1] > 100) then show_demo_message()

So if you started game at 2500.3, made 100 turns, and you are now at the turn ~2510.2, so you should change the date lets say into 25100. Restart the SEV, load your 100-limit game. Say, do you get the demo-error at 2510.3?

I do. Started at 2400 goto to 2409.9, changed starting date to 2409.8, still get the limit.

I was afraid that the demo has a 100 turn limit, the same as previous demos.


Though I have to ask why we think it is alright to discuss how to try and crack the demo in order to play it beyond what the creator wanted??

Why wouldn't it be? we can have multiple games spanning more than 100 turns in total, cheat to see all the tech, why be stuck at 100 turns?

Yeah, I've been wondering about that. Not good, guys.

To get back on topic, I've also been seeing the demo lock up after hitting my end-of-turn button.
