SEV PBW problem

[Nicholas_Bostaph]

We ran into a serious problem with the SEV game we just started and I was hoping maybe someone here could lend some insight.

I uploaded the first turn on Monday evening and everyone was able to take their turn just fine and upload it to the server. It finally timed out and ran late last night and the new turn file was in my inbox at 5 am this morning.

When I loaded the game I found my construction queue empty and no designs saved. All the flags were also attached to the wrong empires, and my shipset was incorrect. I checked the game forum and it looks like other players are having similar problems, except their queues are filled with other players' designs. It's almost as if the players are getting each others turns while logging in as themselves; very weird. I placed the game on ALPU and asked them to hold off until I could figure this out.

So, any ideas? Anybody see this before? The only out of the ordinary thing I can think of that I did was that I didn't have one of the players' shipsets installed when I created the game, but downloaded and installed it last night. Most other players didn't have it installed either, as he had not told anyone he was using a non-stock shipset until after we went to start. Could that cause this problem?

I'm in a game where foreign designs are randomly showing up in build queues, but the situation is not as bad as what you describe, and no flags have been swapped around. I have no idea what you can do about it.

I got anothers empires' spaceship for no reason that I can discern. Singleplayer.
