BUG: Launching AI Colony ships while the game hangs with no Turn button

The dissapearign Turn button is annoyingness, but it's old. Now last game I had this happened I was clickign anythign and everything, and it turns out I was able to launch my enemies colony ships It's pretty whicked actually since he had a bunch in orbit I launched more than half of his pop :/

But yes main if the Turn button dissapears, game is hanging there. How do you get it back? I hti enter, that woks sometimes, space too. Once I even decomissioned soemthing, don't even know if it was mine, and the game returned to normal.

I am having the same issue. After 3/4 through a game, the TURN button dissappears and I cannot progress. I have tried saving and rebooting, clicking lots of buttons, etc. The game will not progress and I am "hung up."

This is quite frustrating. Its like I am playing a demo at full retail price.

Any fixes for this, or ideas why it is occuring?

I've had this happen to me when I changed ship rally points in planetary governor mode after End Turn has been pressed (in the bit where you can give orders to ships that have finished auto-piloting).

To solve it, I hit 'Find' to go to all the ships that still had movement points, and gave them new orders, and then everything started moving again.

I solve it by doing a quick save and then reloading the save file. CTRL S saves, ESC opens the options window.
