Saving/Loading...weird.

from Stardock Forums
I've noticed some downright weird things when saving and then loading the game. My morale plummets, my economy goes to hoeck, my influence tanks... I'm going along fine before I save/load, and then I'm in the tubes.

It's almost like the game re-calculates a lot of values when loading and gets much less favorable results!

Anyone else getting this? (Sorry if there's two)

Darnit. I wish I could erase posts.

I saw this with influence in pre 3z1 builds and posted a report on it, but I have not gotten where I should see it yet on 3z1. I guess it isn't fixed yet.

I've noticed this for over the last several builds.

However, in my experience the influence seems to return to the pre-saved state after a game cycle (or two).

Economy seems to pick up again over time. I have a hunch here though that the games pre-save economy could be the wrong figure, and that loading does a re-calc to get the correct figure.

I say this because I quite often notice I get large budget surpluses during the course of a game, which disappear on reload. Obviously there are many factors influencing the economy (eg improvements,population, trade routes, position of freighter along trade routes, strength of the alien tradees economy etc). I'm just wondering if theres a multiplier doing the wrong thing in there somewhere?

I saved a game and when I cam back my upgraded Starbase turned to a non-upgraded starbase... also, the resource on it disapeared :(

I occasionally see an odd downturn when I load a saved game but it seems to for the most part correct itself after about 3 turns go by. I havn't had the Starbase problem in the current build but noticed it ahppened very rarely before 3z1.
