End Turn Button Disappearing

from GalCiv2 Forums
I have played a number of games where the "End Turn" disappears after all moves are done. I've waited for several minutes to see if the AI was doing something, but alas, I end up losing the game. I've tried reloading from a previous save, closed the program and reopened it, even robooted the computer. It seems that once a game has this happen it "game over!"

Any ideas?

I'm running a:

AMD 64 3200+
1 gb Ram
Geforce 6600 w/ 256 mb Ram
Nvidia 81.98 drivers

I've had this same problem. I think I opened a new screen (planet view) or whatever, maybe research.. and it came back after I switched back to the main screen. YMMV.

Please post your debug.err file (in your galciv2 program folder). This will help us to determine why your turn button was stuck.

I had this happen before but I havent in awhile. I assumed it was fixed. Its easy to workaround though. Just press enter, the turn progresses and the end turn button reappears.

If you have the option "Skip moves left after autopilot" turned OFF, there is a ship that reached it's autopilot point and still has movement points left over. It's waiting for you to move that ship. The camera doesn't always center on that particular ship, but all you have to do is click the Find button. Hope that helps.

I'll bring my debug file with me to work tomorrow and post it. Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I've tried them all and they didn't work for me. I think I have offended the computer gods this month. Problems with several different programs on several differant machines

Im having the same problem. I think it happened because I lost a planet and now my two remaining planets have a gap between them, where ships built from section 1 are in section 2. The button just disappears. I tried saving and reloading, and the button reappears, but pressing it does nothing. I was using Beta 3, and updated to Beta 4 to see if that changed anything.

I just had the same thing happen - this is the first time I've had the "turn button disappears" problem. I would add my debug.err here but it is just too long. Is there any way to attach the file?
Reply #9 from GalCiv2 Forums Top
ditto here...
i've tried all the "fixes" suggested but none of them work. This is the 4th game I've "lost" awseothoaisetiaosejto!

I have the same problem. I already posted something about it in the 'Performence degrading' thread, but now that I read this one, I'm having both

Here's my debug stack. I get it after waiting a few minute after the 'Turn' button was pressed.

I had the same problem. Here's what I did to solve it.
I found the problem was with one of my ships. After deleting this ship the game advanced to the next turn. The problem is finding the ship! I had about 300 ships! What I did was go to the shipyard and obsolete all my ship designs and decommission all of them. I found out that a freighter was causing the problem. I deleted that ship and voila I advanced to the next turn.

You could to the following: Load up your game, find out what ship is causing the problem by deleting your ships. After you found the ship that was causing your problem quit the game without saving, load the game again and delete the ship. Go on conquering the galaxy.

Don't know if this will work for you it's worth a try. I know this can be a lot of work but hey it's better than losing a game you spent many hours on entirely

Another solution could be going to the foreign relations screen, talk to one of the races and exit that screen again. Your end turn button might have returned.

Serious bug though, hope the Stardock guys can solve this.
