Unknown Birthplace

cavebutter · 10-03-2015, 02:21 PM

I started a new game with a fictional universe based off a template I have used before. All players created for the inaugural draft were fine, but all players created for subsequent drafts have "Unknown" birthplaces. Any idea why this is?

Should add that it seems like only non-US players are from Unknown. I started a new game with the same template and it continues to happen.
Fortunately this league is not so far along that I can't start from scratch, but obviously would like to avoid that if possible.

I still get players created with no nationality OR birthplace. It's been reported, FWIW. I'll add your post to that submission.

This happened to me when I reimported the names/ethnicities db.

All my players had unknown city of birth.

I haven't touched that since

Yeah, this all happened after I re-imported the names db. Interesting as it's never happened to me before and I have modded that file many times...

Seeing this too (after reimporting names db), though it's not everyone. Seems pretty random and rare.
