HAH! what a start. Tried to configure the difficulty settings in the A/O Scenario - Galaxy Map - > I clicked continue for now and as all remained unchanged (not MY settings) the game started.
Hi can you try deleting the scenario from your scenarios folder & verify the files then start the game again & try once more ? When I try there is no CoQ. Can you also attach the client log so it can be seen where the exception comes from ?
Well, erased files, verified....157 files corrupted and reacquired- no CoQ this time. Only the changes I made within the difficulty settings does not get accepted. Difficulty setting-> Both Clients attached
A fix for this is on the current experimental release https://empyriononline.com/threads/alpha-11-5-experimental-refinements.91665/
