Can't rejoin save game with custom races

[MrSquid]

My friend and I are having an issue where reloading a saved game won't allow the non-host to select his previous race to resume the game with. This only became an issue with our current game which is the first we've tried since the latest (Kennedy) patch. We each tried hosting a new game and we removed our mods just to be sure. We also tried some more unusual steps like copying our user_empire_designs.txt file onto both machines.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

What version and checksum do you guys have?
Can you upload a save you are having a problem with?
What happens when the non-host joins? does he get a list of empires to select to play?

We're using Kennedy v1.4.1 (1759). Save file uploaded.

When the non-host tries to join he does get a list of empires, his is just not on the list. I can see his empire on the galaxy map though.

Thanks!
