Ships refuse to move

from GalCiv2 Forums
I think that this may be a problem, specifically, with fleets, although I'm not sure.  I'm having an issue where ships (a fleet) will not move when I select a destination that is more than four or five parsecs away.  I know it's not a range issue, so it's pretty strange (for me).  I can move them a few squares at a time, but never longer distances.  The destination marker simply doesn't move.  When I click a space, the ships will actually show in their statuses that they're going there, but they change their mind immediately after.

I noticed this occurring on the first mission of the Dread Lords campaign.  I'm playing Dark Avatar, version 1.80q100.

This problem was fixed in 1.80g, your problem is most likely: You have 1.80e, not 1.80g. Eventhough it appears that you did update it. (This does happen, you are not the only one)
Download this and then run SDC to update DA. You can open it via Notepad or send it through your favorite virus scanner if you're concerned about the contents; it's clean. It changes your DA version number to 1.7 so SDC will properly update DA.Don't forget to have SDC as well as DA closed when you do this.You may need to change your server to US-1, via Tools-->Settings:Internet in SDC. Refreshing XML Data in the same screen may also be necessary.

The problem lies within improper patching that occassionally occured, your game thinks it's 1.80g, but it is not. Doing this will fix your patching issue and after you've patched it again, your fleet issues will "magically" disappear!
