Strange icon-change

I've got 3 Versions of SE installed.
1) SE IV (regular), with mods and loads of stuff.
2) SE IV (Regular), without mods and stuff, just for PBW.
3) SE IV: Gold, with mod and loads of stuff.
I only use the PBW Version for multiplaying. The other two are only in use for hotseat games. I also play Star Wars PBW and the races there behave normal. It's really strange. I'll just check the races folder and report back here. Thanks for the thought.

As long as you don't change the default data folder, you don't really need a separate install of SE4 for PBW.

Well I tried doing that, but it gave errors when I tried to contact the internet, so I found it much easier to just install it again. It's works fine now, except for that strange error. Well, at least it doesn't bother me too much.

The only reason why SE:IV would display a different shipset on each load is that it cannot find the shipset specified for that empire. You may want to double check each empire file and then the specified shipset and double check to make sure you have the right one.

Also, there are several different EA Ship sets that use different names for their race folders...perhaps this is the problem?

Yes, that Last series of post here made me understand. I'll ask the host of the game wich races he has installed on his computer.

Yes, that's it, he missing some sets. Thanks everyone!
