'Turn' button disappears

from GalCiv2 Forums
This has happened every single time I've had to leave the computer with game on for roughly 30 minutes or more (three times). After coming back and pressing the 'turn' button, the button will disappear and nothing happens for a good time. Then it suddenly executes the turn command and I get to move again. This happens repeatedly but it feels like the button is disappearing for longer and longer every time. When the button disappears I can still move around the map and do everything I want, the turn just doesn't end.

This time I tried saving and then loading the game, but it crashed.

It's a known though somewhat mysterious bug. Loading autosaves and the like helps sometimes.

One game I had this return to me.. first time since the beta.

Turned out I made a way point in the same spot a class 0 planet was (never noticed it as it was a rather small one) and several ships were trying to get to the way point..

Offcourse I waiting in this case wouldn't help at all... Unless the planet would move little

Isn't there a hot key to end turn?

I had this happen to me once but i manged to get the turn to end somehow and on the next turn the button was back.

happened to me sevral times- quicksave and reload fixes it.

also fixes a bug i just ran into where a phantom ship around a planet prevented invasion.

I've found that if my Turn button has vanished, alt-tabbing out of the program and back again will suddenly fire off the start of the next turn.

Return / Enter key.
