I'm having two problems the 1st is when I make a new game i load in play one turn then when I end my turn the computer player loses and I win the map.
The second problem I'm having is that I cannot change races Phenotype there no option I can click on it just seems to be randomly set every time I make a new race.
Hiya! Could you be more specific about the game settings you are using that leads to the first situation ?
As for the second problem, do you have the species DLC or are you playing the base game only ?
Game dif normal game pacing normal research rate normal minor race occasional hostile entities occasional Civ prox Far
Galaxy size Tiny Number of sectors singular Star Freq Abundant Hab planets Abundant Extreme planets Abundant Resources Abundant
3 Random computer
How do I find out if i have the species DLC and if I don't have it how do I get it?
Hey, you can check if you have a DLC, by right clicking the game in steam library, navigating to properties, and then to DLC tab
As far as the game victory bug goes, we are investigating it. Meanwhile, I recommend trying a bigger map
Testing it now, yeah it looks like there's an issue with Tiny singular maps. If you use binary sector, then you'll get at least one AI to show up in the other sector. The other two AIs are no where to be found though. If you want a single sector you'll have to use a small one, which should at least spawn one AI opponent.
I've reported it to the devs. Thx a lot for the report!
As for the phenotype, if you create a custom civilization, and click Choose Species (in the middle), you should be able to create a new species (button right button), there you can change the phenotype if you have the DLC.
If you are playing the game on Steam, this DLC and others can be found on the steam GC4 store page. If you plan on getting them all, the Expansion Pass would be a good option. Might want to wait tomorrow though, since I think the annual Steam Christmas sale is about to happen; I do not know if some of the GC4 DLC will be discounted, but it's still a good idea to wait one day in case they are. 
Yeah ok, it's a known issue which the team is aware but won't be able to tackle directly until early January due to the holiday break.
For the time being, I made you a mod that will fix the issue. You can download it at https://www.galciv4.com/mods/manager
Look for BugFix Singular Map Gen V1.0 for the fix.
