Turn Button Times Out Cant get to Next Turn.

from GalCiv2 Forums

Hello,

Pretty much everytime i play GC2 after 15-30 turns i press the turn button and it just keeps going on forever even though the game wasnt slow at all before that.  i have a new computer so i know its not processing power or memory.  Does anybody know if there is a specific driver i have to get for this game thats incompabitable with a standard pc?

thanks.

I have no idea about drivers or anything affecting this bug but i have had it present in every build of all three games from time to time. i don't even bother submitting it any more, and it's not like i get it often but it just seems it is something to live with.

I have auto save turned on and set to every turn so if it happens i just reload.

sorry i was not helpful, hopefully someone else has a more constructive response.

It can also hang sometimes due to a ship needing to move. For some reason every now and then a ship with moves left will hang the turn change. Sometimes it's as simple as hitting the find button and it will take you to the ship in question, but not always. I have also not had it happen ever since I checked the "skip moves left over from autopilot" in the options. You'll just need to use the find button for finding those ships that reached their destination on the previous turn change. If it is not that though I'm out of ideas. I have had a couple of cases where I couldn't recover it at all and had to reload, but that hasn't happened since DL 1.4x I believe.

I see that often happening due to ships movement. I usually just hit the Space Bar whenever it "hangs"...and that fixes that issue.

Yep ship movement makes it happen for me too. Your surveyors and miners are generally the ships most likely to be moving, so check them first. This used to frustrate me and worry me a good bit, but now I find that clicking on a ship and then on its destination works every time. Still a bug, but not one to worry about.

If you haven't already done so, you should update the game to the latest level. As others have stated above, this problem is related to ships having extra moves getting stuck, and hitting the space bar often fixes it. It is more likely to happen if you're using one of the "auto" ship movement options (like auto attack, auto survey, etc).
