Random factions in multiplayer not random

[nimbulan]

I haven't been able to find a solution for this anywhere. I have been trying to start up a multiplayer game of SMACX with my brother, yet if we put all the factions on random, it gives us the same faction list every single time. It doesn't matter who hosts, we get the same factions (just the two of us switched, since our player numbers are switched).

Is there any way to provide the game with a random seed to get a truly random list every time?

I copied your bug report. I assume you are playing TCP/IP. Are you playing through a LAN?

Yes this is a TCP/IP game on LAN.
