Testing, but think bug may have been my fault.

[Dogboy]

I decided that maybe all the bugs I've been seeing might be related to the Balance Mod. Unlikely, but worth checking out. So, my son and I fire up SE V, both v. 1.71, to try to do some play testing to see if maybe SE V isn't buggy.

First thing off the bat: We both choose SEV standard, verify that we have 1.71. Go to create races. He is given choices for points to spend on initial research, which go up to 10,000,000. On my version of 1.71, I can go up to 5,000,000
We have not done *anything*. How can the game, with the identical patch, be showing different options for race design. Hopes dashed. What the hell is going on?????

Honestly, I loved SE IV, but I'm surprised there is not more outrage about how buggy SE V is. What a great opportunity lost.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
