I suggest you post a savegame, so the devs. can check it.
Otherwise such things should not be an issue.

I think both your problems have been solved already in the following revisions, but I fear you'll have to start a new game
Any suggestion? Thanks

I've tried your save, you simply don't have barb civs activated (ctrl+Q, you can check yourself). There's no way to change options once you've started a game in MP. If you want barb civs, you'll have to start another game.

I just tried several other times, both checking and un-checking the option "No BarbarianCivs". I also downloaded rev. 844. Anyway I set that option, in-game I always see "No BarbarianCivs". Maybe the user choice is not recognized? Thank you.

Delete civilization.ini, your old civilization settings are preventing you from updating your options. The file will recreate itself when you start civ

Do you mean the one under Documents? I deleted it and had to re-check all options, so I assume I deleted the right one. Anyway, I've not checked "No BarbarianCivs" but again I find this option inside the game. I'm speaking about a LAN multiplayer game.
Thank you again.

Definitely not, I've tried. It's a string in civilization.ini which isn't being updated. You can either delete that ini file or gameoption string inside it if you know what you're doing. Next game you'll start, both single and multiplayer, it will work

Try also deleting the .bak file, it's a backupDo you mean the one under Documents? I deleted it and had to re-check all options, so I assume I deleted the right one. Anyway, I've not checked "No BarbarianCivs" but again I find this option inside the game. I'm speaking about a LAN multiplayer game.

It's me again. So, I deleted (on both computers) all files under Documents\My Games\Beyond the Sword\CustomAssets, I deleted Documents\My Games\Beyond the Sword\CivilizationIV.ini and Documents\My Games\Beyond the Sword\CivilizationIV.ini.bak and all files under \Mods\Rise of Mankind - A New Dawn\UserSettings. I started a new LAN game, re-checked all options (making sure of NOT checking "No BarbarianCivs" and as soon in the game, checked game options and reading "No BarbarianCivs" Then, I opened CivilizationIV.ini and this is the option line:
; Game Options
GameOptions = 00010000000100000100001011000001101001000010011100011111110000
I marked in red bold the "zero" that should be the "No BarbarianCivs" option and it's a "zero".
Also, I marked in blue a serie of 7 zeroes, while in-game I have only 6 "non checked" options. Is it correct?
Thanks.
Then, I opened CivilizationIV.ini and this is the option line:; Game Options
GameOptions = 00010000000100000100001011000001101001000010011100011111110000

By the way, are you from Trieste?
Sì
I've tried again and it works in my version. I'll do some more test. Can you check if all your other options are as you selected them? I suspect that if that option is wrong, all those after that option should also be wrong.

Hello, I compared the options in Staging Room, Game Start, In Game and CivilizationsIV.ini. I uploaded an Excel comparison here: LINK
All options are forwarded correctly to the game except "No BarbarianCivs".
CivilizationIV.ini contains one more options between "No Barbarians" and "No Technology Trading" and all subsequent options are shifted by one position.
Altough this shift, all options in CivilizationsIV.ini are loaded correctly into
the Staging Room if I set up a new game.
Anyway, I don't want to make you waste a lot of time on this problem.
I thought it was a simple fix. Maybe, I'll disappear by itself in a newer
version. I have modVersion = "2.2 beta 2 (rev844)".
Thank you for your time.

I found this piece of code in CvGame.cpp, line ~6026 (rev. 844):
//Afforess BarbarianCiv does not work in MP!
//TODO: fix barbarian civ
if (eIndex == GAMEOPTION_NO_BARBARIAN_CIV && (isNetworkMultiPlayer() || isPitboss()))
{
return true;
}
It seems to explain why I always get a "true" on LAN games, regarding "No BarbarianCiv" option...
Edit: I commented that "return true;" and now my option is properly forwarded. Dunno which consequences this may have on gameplay, tough. Anyone knows why this option was forced to "true"? Thanks.

Nice find, I didn't know or remember that. I actually don't remember what was broken, probably something causing some OOS.
