Re: e-mail from Capnq

Ok, I have tested and here are my discoveries.
1. Yes you are correct it doesn't load (not that this was in doubt)
2. It will load without password prompt from normal SE4 menu (could be because it doesn't check password for non-multiplayer games - This is confirmed as you can set a password for the empire, and then just load the game, which results in the game loading without password prompt)
3. When the password is changed to nothing, then the game is saved, the game *will* launch from the launcher (although in this case my Version complains that data files are non-identical - however it does get past the password verification stage).
4. When the empire you provided was exported, imported into a new game and then an attempt is made to edit it, it prompted for the user to supply a password (which shouldn't happen)

I am not sure why this is happening.

The only thing I can think of is that it is setting a default password of some sort when the empire is created.
Attempt to change the password of the empire to an empty one and then load it.

This is the only cause I can think of at the moment, and indeed if this is the case then there is nothing I can do about it.
