Metaverse issues

Submitting a game

from GalCiv2 Forums
Am I going bonkers or am I being told correctly? Must you start a game using the metaverse login within the game in order to submit? If this is true why did you guys make it work totally different then GC1? I played my game for almost 5 days too finally submit my first game. The game ends and I return to the menu. I logged myself into metaverse within the game and on the site.

Please fix this issue the way it is now is no good at all I am sorry to say Devs. Any game besides Mods should be able to be submitted without messing with logging into the metaverse first otherwise the Meta is going be so restricted the enjoyment factor is out the window. Sorry I don't like being negative but this is my first big gripe about the game.

The metaverse is separate for the very reason of not using Mods; it uses an entirely separate set of data that is protected from tampering (you can modify it, but it will be detected when you submit). By separating it out like that players can freely mod the base game and not have to worry about swapping data files back and forth to play the Meta, which requires a pure unmodded game.

Datum - I had the same problem for my first game - finished, tried to submit, realized that I had to log in to the metaverse first and start a game from there. At least my first game was only a couple of hours in length, as I played on an easier level to become accustomed to the nuances of the new game.
