SCHIZO BUG
(FM 0.8.5.8) Players' control inversion
I was quitely playing the Italian on a preset map and I probably had captured the Korean's last Colony (meanwhile his Scout was prowling about my Colonies).
On the following turn, I wished to lower my Colony Tax from 80% to 75%, and... I found it was already set at 0%!
After a while I realized I was then controling the Australian Colonist player... who had probably been already exterminated by the Korean (Colonies = 0)... or even the Australian Homeland player (the units displayed in the Unit Manager window were only Mechs and LGTs).
I finally ended the turn and I was back in control of the Italian.
So I saved the game under the name of "Schizo", quitted the game, went to sleep... and the day after, the game refused to continue and to load any savegame file.
Notes:
There were no other players, only me (Italian) and two computer's opponents (Korean & Australian).
The national flag displayed at the top center of the screen was still Italia's until I opened the Government/Statistics windows (toolbar not immediately repainted).
Except capturing the Korean's last Colony or checking for the australian Colonies' defenders, I can't imagine what could provoke this bug.
I quitted the game and, when I whish to continue it, nothing worked (neither Continue, neither Load). But today it works fine...

Savegame files when SF will allow to post them...
I discovered a bug in Remove player command. I'll fix it.
