Weekly: Different Start Locations

[Former user]

My friend and I compared progress on the Weekly Challenge. We had the same character but different start locations. The start location impacts suitability - I was fine in Joppa but he dies very quickly to goats in his different stating location. The Weekly Challenge should use the same start location for all players.

Also tested the dailies. Different start location. To quote my friend: “seems like if you are comparing your score to other players, then you should all start from the same location”.

Next weekly. I started in Joppa. My friend started in Iganna. It will be difficult for us to compare progress, since the start location has a big impact on the early game.

I removed two mods, uninstalled Qud (via Steam) and deleted my appdata/Qud folder. I reinstalled Qud. I now have the same start location as two other people that checked. So this may be related to a) mods or b) some issues in local appdata. Happy to test.

yeah mods will change the outcome
