Map generation still bugged?

from GalCiv3 Forums

Map generation still seems to be too uniform.

If I start a new game, with all the same settings as the prior one, I get the exact same star layout, and the same homeworld location.  Doing this repeatedly gives the same results, though it flips between two different tile layouts on the homeworld. *Exact* same.

Changing the map size and other map characteristics, then going back to the original parameters, doesn't fix this issue.

 

Something similar still happening for other people?

Yup, have the exact same issue.

Have to quit and restart the game (rather than quitting back to main menu) to get it to generate a new map.

Had this problem since beta 5.  Use the Quickstart instead of New Game to get a new map for now.

I have the same problem. And playing a custom Terran faction with Knowledgable, I can see the start locations of all of the other factions--and they are the exact same each time--unless I do a total restart. I really hope Stardock fixes this BEFORE the game is released May 14!

Confirmed this works, QS uses all the settings from your last "new game" and gives you a bran new map
