1.30 beta 2 Long save time (initial turn)

from GalCiv2 Forums
Downloaded the new beta and set up a game. GOt a percursor mine on the homeworld which was nice so I decided to save the game before I did very much, moved the survey ship and create a few ship designs.

Save game is taking about 5 minutes now and is still going.

Running in full screen and it usually crashes when I leave the window and try to come back so I am letting it go for a bit.

Went and tried to recreate the issue. I tried a small map and it appeared to work fine and tried a giant map and it worked fine, so I don't know what happened.
The only thing I can think of right now is if a save game for a metaverse game needs to do a internet check. I have sporadic outages where I cannot connect to metaverse and then I try again after the time out and it works. Just a setup issue on this laptop.
Oh well guess I will get a new game started up again and hopefully my game will save okay. The file size seems reasonable. I had a file size of zero for the above failed save using the quick save feature

I noticed that just last night. I'll see if I can get it to happen again.

I think one more item in this issue was that I had CTRL-N the game before trying the CTRL-S and unlike in earlier versions it did not ask for a metaverse login for each recreated game with CTRL-N

AFAIK this is normal behaviour now and will work fine with the Metaverse.
