Random no turn button and ships won't move

from GalCiv2 Forums
First time poster. I keep getting this really frustrating issues with TA where far into the game the turn button disappears. Also, when I attack enemy ships after that I can't move any others ships around. I can't even select my ships. Sometimes, however, it will let me select the ships, but won't let me move them anywhere. Is anyone else having problems, and if so, do you know a possible solution to my problem. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I had it happen once in my last game. Saved (quick save ctr-s) and exited to desktop. Loaded quick save and it continued on fine.

Personally I think it's something to do with the AI finishing its execution but not completing all the way to your turn again, as it always happens at the END of the AI's turn, and I've had it happen more often with "use full CPU" turned on.

I tried saving and reloading it, but it still refuses to work. I'm really bummed because I'm really far into the game and was just starting a war with the Drengins!

Quicksave and load imeadiatly. I've done this and it almost always refreshes. It's happened at least 30 times in my current game and if I save it even while the game has just frozen and reload it it will continue from it's current point. Might be different for you but I would resort to loading my next newest save if it didn't refresh properly

This bug was supposed to have been resolved with Beta 4A. I had it in the previous version of TA, but have not had it since upgrading to Beta 4A. Fallows, have you upgraded?

I had the exact same problem. I saved, then loaded a DIFFERENT save where the turn button was active, then loaded the save I just made. This seemed to 'clear' whatever was holding up the turn button. On one occasion I found several surey ships trying to scount the same anomoly which seemed to have a constructor in the same space. This seemed to be the cause of the problem. On another it was combat related but I'm not sure what caused it.

As Mac says, please make sure you've got the latest version. A number of causes for this problem were fixed in Firday's update.
