Hello.

I have this problem here , I am in turn 307 and I initiated a battle and thats it the game gets stucks there , it doesn't freeze , music plays you can do everything else but if you try to hit end turn it takes you back to the battle screen says in encounter , where?

Well my opponent takes their sweet time don't they? Well Its one of their last ships anyway , I blew their last Ark a couple of systems from here and now I hunt the strugglers.

I can do anything else including saving loading and quitting the game but up to no avail , if I reload from here this happens:

Yes , now I actually froze/crash whatever , I waited here 15 mins , no response no ram fluctuation , I forced it shut.

Yes this happened before from early release to before update 3 on turn 140 or so but after update 3 and the riftborn I finally managed to finish a game on turn 416 without problems.

4 total factions with me being one , medium sized 2 arms galaxy , I eliminated 1 and was going for the few remaining units of the second faction the vodyani , this happened on turn 307 as you can see , I tried to reload the auto save of 5 turns earlier but reproduced the aforementioned situation in turn 306 this time so is it my save that is corrupted or something? Or the seed was set already. My pc doesn't suck but I go for the fastest settings , this game looks good anyway.

That is all thanks for your time!

Ditto, exact same battle lock and no saves seem to be able to recover a clean game. Had this happen in the beta several times, always late game. In the release version it occurred abt turn 230.  In one battle location it was with a fleet with two Heros (don't know if that is possible). Love the game but the locks are frustrating at best. When trying an older auto save I intentionally avoided the 2 hero fleet but the game simply locked in another battle location. BUG!

Folks, I have 2 questions:

* are you using an old AMD graphic card?

* did any of these battles involve a Vodyani medium ship?

Thanks

OK so Letzt may have the AMD issue. We are preparing a new build which deactivates some GPU advanced features.

For Greysion, I doubt it. I have the same graphic card. We will have to make a detailed analysis of the save file.

Cheers

No on the AMD card for me, using an Nvidia 780 TI with latest drivers. Otherwise, the descriptions above fit the bug both during beta and now in release version. Aggravating to go 200 plus turns into a game only to get locked out by clicking on a battle button, over and over and over again with no resolution. Do Devs wish a save game file? If yes, where is it found?

Just had this issue several times while playing multiplayer with a friend. It was against pirates. First my friend got stuck. We reloaded from autosave. But after reload the pirates attacked again and same issue. We then started a new game. After some time my friend ran into some pirates again where the bug returned. We reloaded from autosave. This time my friend could retreat. Then after some turns I was attacked by pirates in two seperated battles both got stuck on "Your opponent is choosing their strategy" as was the case with my friend before.

Neither of us have AMD cards (we both have Nvidea cards).

BagzDragon, AndreasK,

Saved games : yes please !!! 

The one from Greysion already allows me to reproduce the issue, maybe your saved games will show other situations.

Thanks!

AutoSave 3144.zip

Here is on of my locked save files. Was able to advance a few turns with a saved file today by retreating my units form the battle at Zaines that locked the battle progress in prior load. A few turns later after both my units and the Lumeris units had vacated Zaines and returned when another battle lock occurred. Let me know if the auto save attached will not load and I will send another save. In one of my attempted recovers I avoided any battles at Zaines but within a few turns a battle locked at another location. Unable to figure out how to attach Dxdiag.
