In that case, Jason, I'd recommend changing the installer so that it doesn't default to the latter; the only change I made to the default installation directory was to substitute F: for C:.

<t> I too had a problem getting the unit viewer to work, but my setup is different enough from those described above that I thought it might be worth a comment. I had version 1 of CSME, and when I upgraded to version 2.0 the installer directed me to uninstall version 1 first, which I did. Now on my ...

<t> In part it does, BlueTemplar – your colony display shows the same (-1.00K) entry for “Tax” that I was highlighting in my post. Where your example differs from ours is that you have no colonies with a tax rate greater than zero. As to why the empire total doesn’t then report the negative value, I ...

<t> Spidey, of course your right that my suggestion doesn't explain the growth of the discrepancy for the higher tax percentages, but it seemed to me to be a useful starting point. Taking your observation and mine together suggests that whatever process is behind the discrepancy has both an additive ...

In the reference game I was using I have 5 colonies, of which only the home planet has a tax rate greater than 0. The colony display for the home planet shows tax revenue of 60K, but the empire ...

This doesn't appear to be corruption, as it is the same in my game at zero and nonzero corruption colonies, and it ...
