Hi There,
I was having a great time putting the boots to the Korath with their own weapon (see my post on Spore Bugs). Anyway they only had three colonies left and I clicked Next Turn. Well the button didn't come back. The game didn't crash - I could still move around and even managed (I think) to save the game. So I have the save game available, and since that was my last turn I have the Debug.err as well.
Sorry, I didn't have SmartException - I will install that next time I play.
Dano
