BUMP me too...

During my current game in v1.11 I have reached a point where, for some reason, the turn button disapears and will not come back. It occurs immediatley after clicking to end turn. It happens despite reloading the saved game. After loading it will allow one or two turns before the problem re-occurs. It is as if the AI starts its turn and gets into a loop immediately as no ships move, not even mine on autopilot. I have to fully quit GalCIv and reload for it to come back (only to go again). Where do I email the saved game and debug.err file to? I know its not support but can't find the actual address. Have not tried starting a new game but I will to see if it re-occurs.

I had this problem once I emailed my zipped saved game to [email protected] and I got a reply about a week later that the problem, known as 'the stuck turn' problem had been fixed and that the solution should be in the next update 1.2 perhaps.

Hope this helps.

Try clicking find to look for ships with moves left, then move them around.

It happened to me when I tried to use planetary governers after the Turn button had been pressed.

Argh! Drivers! Page file! Update!

Firstly: Update your drivers. Anything 2004, I'm surprised it runs at all.

Secondly, increase page file to about 2 gig.

Thirdly: update to 1.1

I'm using pretty recent drivers for my nVidia 7200GT, downloaded them about a month ago. I have updated to v1.11. How do I increase page file? And, out of interest, what is it?

Like Chuck I'm pretty far in and generally don't have enough free time to waste a potential Metaverse post so it would be great if it fixed this game.

BTW, I have started a new game without any crashes so far but I am only about half way in.

Thanks for all you advice, nice to know it happens to other people and my PC isn't destabilising.

PS Marcathonas, sounds Greek, I enjoyed your drunken rendition of land of hope and glory *hic* LOL

Feel free to join in the fray, we're going for 15 pages by tomorrow morning EST.

If you post a debug.err, we can see how much page file you have, what your system is, and also where the game is crashing. It's a .cra or .bmp file in the root directory, I think.

I have the same problem, very upsetting that even after loading it occurs again, but mine doesn't actually crash, the button just stops working, I let it sit and sit and sit, no crash, it just did not do anything. My first thought was also that the AI got stuck because nothing moved afterwards....Yes I have ALL my most updated drivers and memory is great (4 gigs of ram 4 on virtual memory)...Any idea when 1.2 will be let out? If so, any idea if I can get back into this game, or will it only prevent it from happening again in new games?
