Additionally in 6.0 I managed to generate successfully after reducing the number of NPR's at start to 1 (previously set it to 2) without changing anything else. It took about 2 times the normal time but other than that no real issue on this front.
The only real thing apart from npr number I've changed the first time around is I set the system gravitational survey to be done. Everything else apart from naming themes was set to standard.
I'm not sure what caused the issue the first time around. I'll try doing it again to see if it was an isolated case.
On another note now I'm getting error 53 "File not found: Planetjpeg\a11.jpg" when I press f9 to get into system information. That ends up in the game crashing...
But from what I've checked so far that's a windows 7 instalation issue. I'll have to figure it out later
Edit: Interestingly enough when I set everything up the same way as previously (2 NPR's same year same themes etc) and disabled "Jump survey completed" I did manage to generate a game with more than 1 NPR. Going to do it again with the same settings and jump survey checked to see if that might actually be the reason or if it's just a lucky draw.
EDIT2: Nevermind. Generated it again with survey done and it worked fine this time. Going to keep looking into that I've got to remember what settings I assigned when it didn't want to work because I'm sure there is something I'm forgetting.
EDIT3: Ok after multiple generations for the sake of checking the issue has not popped up again. I don't know what caused it before, the only thing I changed file wise was installing msstdfmt.dll after I got the first game running by force quitting and turning it on (f9 wouldn't work). so possibly this has something to do with the game generating normally no matter the settings now.
I'm no longer experiencing error 53 though since I copied a few of the images in the planetjpeg (namely10 and 19) and renamed them to fit the ones that the program was asking for.
