1 year ago Never mind, found the problem. After more than 2000 hours of gameplay I never notice that there is a field for the submited name on the score board (#awkward). For some reason Danu's name was in that field and my Steam client synced the setting to other computers.
Hello,
I ran into a strange issue.
I play the Steam version of the game, latest update. When I submit a score after the riftjump the scoreboard does not save it with my own user name (Gomby) but with the username Danu (maker of the colony map #3587). I noticed this after I played Danu's map a few days ago. I tried reboot, replay of the map, reinstalling the game, rollback to a previous version, but nothing helped. I tested the issue on two different computers. I first noticed the problem on a Windows 11 OS, but the same happens to me on a Windows 10 OS too.
The player log file displays my Steam user ID correctly, yet the saved score is attributed to Danu. Since I noticed the issue, I tried replaying multiple maps, but its the same with all of them. For example on map 3582 there is about 30 entries for Danu. It possible that the problem affects multiple users, because only 4 of those are mine, and it's doubtful that this user replayed the map so many times. (it's the same for maps 3585, 3567, 3564, 3561, etc.).
I attached the required files for maps 3582 and 3587 (screenshots and save file). In both instances on the screenshots the latest scores by the user Danu are mine, with the same nullifying times and unit numbers.

Its not a big issue right now, I just won't submit my highscores, but could become a major problem later down the road if this affects multiple players.
