Hello, I am having a problem and searching online was no help. I am honestly not expecting someone to have a answer for my problem that will actually work but I had to try anyways.

First off I downloaded several maps and put them into the "Galaxy" folder located in the Sins of a Solar Empire folder located in c://programs etc. They would not show up in the game. I checked notepad and the maps were set to version #1. The game maps was set to version #0 so I did that with the downloaded maps. That cuased the game to crash so I removed them.

I installed the Galaxyforge and created a map. I put it in the same folder but it did not show up in the game. I edit the # in notepad to make it 1 but still i did not show up in the game. I decided to use the in-game map editer but I can't get any maps where everyone on the same team starts close to eachother and on the same chain of planets.

All I want is a map where me and the AI start out close together and can use teamwork instead of being spread out.

Do I need to update my game to fix any of these problems and if so can I just click update in the main menu? What does updating the game really add or do to my store bought version? Any help would be apreciated.

Have a nice day.
