I'm having a little problem since I've installed TA that is turning into a bigger, more annoying problem by the minute. I use Auto Survey, Auto Explore, and Auto Attack frequently. Everything in my game was going just ducky until I set about 15-20 single ships on Auto-Attack mode. All ships moved fine until they reached clusters of the enemies planets. Once they started auto-attacking orbiting ships, they started to hang up.

What I mean is that they have 4 movement points. They would auto-attack one time, then just sit there. I'd have to manually "nudge" them to attack again (either by simply left clicking on the active ship which sometimes works, or by left clicking then right clicking on a new target, which works the rest of the time) before it would keep going and move on to the next ship. I have to repeat this process constantly with every ship that engages an enemy. I have since made fleets, which this still happens to, but it happens to single Medium Hull ships that are not members of a fleet as well. It does not happen with the survey or exploration ships I have on auto. Just auto attack, and just when it reaches a series of enemy planets that are defended.

I tried this to no avail, just in case: https://forums.galciv2.com/310874

The last game I played I opened, tried to move a couple ships and then saved and exited.

Here is my latest debug.err from that game:
