Confirmed. I have to save & reload each time a FLEET ( AI or mine ) attacks ships in orbit ( which hang up the game ), though I've just discovered the bug isn't triggered when using a single attack ship ( when knowing the defending planet hasn't an Orbital Fleet Manager that is ). So we can limit to SOME EXTENT tedious saving and loadings since it seems to be fleet related, but this is a very strange glitch indeed I expect to be fixed sooner than later...

I just had this happen after I stopped attacking. I pulled my fleets back to a waypoint and routed constructors there to build terror stars, and as soon as I started the first terror star, the game started to hang.


I don't think there's any other fighting going on.

Also, I don't think I'm completing/advancing turns. The tech I'm researching has been at 5 weeks through three reloads, and a fleet with 12 movement has been sitting about 8 away from its its destination without moving. I have had one constructor drop in on the terror star each reload, but that's all the activity that occurs.

I did try turning off battles, but that didn't make a difference. I'm going to try not adding a terror star module and see what happens, or try destroying the terror star.

Edit: I destroyed the terror star, and the game started working normally. Later, it became unresponsive after a fleet of mine destroyed a Korath battleship.

Okay, each time I've had this happen now, I ended the previous turn adjacent to the planet, attacked the planet first thing, destroyed a ship, attacked a second time, and the game hung. I also find that it does not always hang again and again - sometimes, the game continues fine until the bug kicks in again.

Has anyone tried leaving the planet rather than attacking again? Like, reload, move a few spaces away, come back the next turn and attack again?

I've tried moving away and all it does is give an autopilot path as if my fleet/ship is out of move.

After reloading?

Yeah, exactly. I have waited out the freeze-up before by checking out my civ manager and foreign stats and such, but now I know the info inside and and out. And I just want to finish.

I've been trying to take down those smug little Torians as well. Well they aren't so smug any more after I've taken over 20 or so of their planets But ever since I entered their territory I can't attack a ship or orbiting ships without this 2-5 minute delay. Turn button goes away and all that stuff. Not too much I can do but wait.

The workaround that I've found is whenever I witness a battle where someone attacks a planet (me or the AI), I immediately scroll so that the planet goes off the screen.

If the planet is not visible at the end of combat, then the bug will not occur. I played a long game where it never hanged when I scrolled the planet away, but hung rather often when I left the planet on-screen.

I'll try that.

Also, have you tried attacking in tactical view?

Please try the newest beta, version 3D.  There were several issues that caused this kind of "freeze up" that have been fixed in that version.  If you still notice this happening, please zip and send us your saved games and give instructions to reproduce the hang up.

Thanks.

My beta version says 93[b].002, but I downloaded it when it was put up on the day when 3d went up, and I seem to have all of the features listed for 3c and 3d. Is this the correct version?

I've also zipped up four or five save files with instructions and associated debug.err files and sent them to the gc2bugs address.

It displays the version on the title screen in the game.  If it says "Twilight of the Arnor beta 3d" then you have the most recent version.

Thanks for sending those files in.  I'll be watching for them.

 

I've had the same issues reported throughout this thread before and after updating to Beta 3D. Next time I have this happen, I will send in the saved game files. Unfortunately, the only way to reproduce is play because upon reloading a saved game after this incident occurrs, the bug goes away until something else triggers it. This appears related to the pathfinding bug though and a similar one I experienced in a previous beta involving a freeze of the game as a Torian fleet tried to attack my own and ran afoul of one of the nonaggression rules entered by the UP. In other instances, it's been associated with attacking pirate fleets and other attacks and in other instances I've seen the turn at least momentarily hang up when one of my ships or an AI attempt to enter the same space as a star or uncolonizable planet.

I sent them last night, even.

I have exactly the same problem with my game. Game freezes after one ship attacks another ship orbiting a planet. I can move around but the attacking ship immediately goes to auto pilot and will not attack another ship in orbit even though it has moves left. Only way around it is to quick save and restart. I have enclosed the debugg error file here since smart exception doesn't run correctly on my Vista box.
