Game Locks up at end turn

Two Questions:

1) Did you run out of memory?

2) Did you leave your game and then came back into again?

  If I leave the game then come back into the game and try to save it freezes up and says "Out of Memory"

Now I am trying not to leave the game and see if it is that was the problem.

Also try checking other threads for bugs almost like yours.

i doubt i ran out of memory because i ran an immense map 2 days ago with half of it under my rule and about 150+ ships. the game i was trying to run was large map with about 4 ships and only 5 planets. i barely researched anything and its the begging of the game. this has happened to me on multiple games but the error log about shows one that i loaded.

to further clarify what happens

when im playing my game all is fine until i hit end turn. when this happens the game freezes where its at but i can still move the mouse around and the music still plays. first time this happend i thought it was just taking forever to load until i looked at my hard drive light and it painted a much more annoying picture that the computer in fact is just now  sitting there. its the game it self that freezes because i was able to use the task manager to quit it the first time but now its freezes to the point that even if task manager loads it won't let me see it.

If the buttons and such still work and the turn just fails to proceed, cycle through all of your ships and make sure they've all used up their moves.

  When you click the End Turn and it starts to move ships around and other things then freezes.

   Ok this has happened to me (I don't if this is your problem), what I did is this click the Find button. What it dose is take you to ship or fleet that has not moved. Trying moving it one parsect and with my game it unfreezes and moves on to the next turn.

I have a tip for you from my Empire's Tactical Officer if you what to try it but it is your choice.  

  Tip 101-C: Go to Options then Game. Find Enable Auto Save click "X" then find Turns Before Auto Save Slider Bar , move slider bar to 1 so it saves every one turn so that you don't loose more than one turn worth of work because some of our game turns last more than an hour.

ill try that but im also going to try a clean install of the game because i did a new game and it seems to freeze when it tries to say "hey you researched xeno enginering" and it freezes before moveing anything.  and when the game does freeze it dosen't let me do anything at all. its like clicking on a picture. but ill see if a new install will work.

Okay so a clean install worked and i think its a high possiblity that the save was also corrupted too. thanks for the help and thanks for the auto save tip Gm00nii

or maybe not...... i started a new game after a clean install and still run into the same problem. heres the debug info from my last game

I get this on very rare occasions. I didn't consider the ship moving so I loaded my most recent autosave. I'm glad I read this, I'll definitely try that next time

well glad this thread helped somebody. because all this thread taught me that a graphics card that hasen't been supported by ATI since Catlasyt 6.6 will now no longer run My newly bought expansion because the update really put a wrench in it for me. sigh... anyone wanna donate 500 so i can get a computer that has a graphics card that isen't unsupported? because im sure after sitting on it a whole day and thinking about it, its the only reason it hangs is because my graphics card is too old to render what ever it is trying to render.

so if anyone has a problem simular to this please take note that if your card is no longer supported it means its time to get a new laptop even if it matches the recommended requirements, if your unlucky like me, or get a new or newer graphics card that is still supported by its creators. i know im sounding like im whinning but you would too if you just bought a game and your only computer says.... i ain't playing that.

 @ RamielGOD, thank you, I mean welcome too.  You are not the only with problems. My problem is well, I call it "The Run Out of Memory Bug" The only thing I think is that the 9 other races and all the ships but 3 of them are gone so I'm guessing?

 By the way are you interested in joining an Empire if so go to Forums then click on Metaverse there you find Empires that are active, I would not want anybody to join a dying or dead one. I would join one that is in the top ten, Oh by the way. I have an Empire you should read about, click on the link below to take you to my empire. You know you can do whatever you want to do because you have a choice.
