Auto-Generate Empires: Off
Allow Independent: Off

Hello RoqueNE;

I'm attempting to recreate your game situations to see if I can assist. But I have a quick
question.

According to your settings shown:

Auto-Generate Empires: Off

I'm assuming that either you have no other races in the game to compete against or either
you have manually selected a certain number of races in the bottom section of the "Other Races"
selection screen. If the latter is the case, can you post what those settings were please (i.e.
Race name, government, tech settings, etc.)

in this case, I play actually completely alone. To try different things.

and.. i just realized, that's the error.
when the automatic generation is disabled and no empires set manually, the game crash.

with at least 1 other empire, it works.
lol -_-

I am quite sure I have started multiple games "all alone" to check various stuff. Obviously there is something off in this case.

Indeed, you can play the game with no other empires present. The real problem lies somewhere else. Anyway, I'm glad it seems to be working for you, RogueNE.

So my first assumption was correct. As I recall, in my testing notes somewhere there was something that
mentioned this error. It seems that due to ruins that are explored having the ability to trigger an event,
such as 'awaking a sleeping race' or the like, then of course, an array error would naturally occur because
the game engine would not have an empire race to point to. So not such a 'nasty' bug after all.

@Bingeling:
Yes, I too have tested DW and some mods the same way. But the errors that do eventually pop up I often
anticipated and expected because I was privy to most of Elliot's game logic.
