Yep, mercenaries bugged af. Reloaded save about million times.

So when you as mercenaries w/o "Privateer" active enter system guarded by pirate flee, they will not attack you this turn. Three possible ways.

• If you attack them and win, next battle will be stuck with AI choosing tactic.
• If you attack them and lose, game is ok.
• If you dont attack them and end turn (you cant leave, cause they guard system), they will attack you next turn with AI stuck.

If you as mercenaries w/ "Privateer" active enter system guarded by pirate flee, they will not attack you, nor you can attack them, until its your home system and you can set off "Privateer". Three possible ways further.

• You stay in the system and end turn. Game bugged.
• You enter system and leave before turn ends. Game ok.
• You pass by w/o parking in system. Game bugged.

I hope this will help. Please make a real update, cause one you did i consider a crime.

Summary / Title

Endless loop when trying to fight battle

Description

Battles are not resolved. The game gets stuck in an endless loop when I press "fight" in the battle screen. This happens in the attached save game, but it now also occurs when I reload earlier saves and/or try to fight battles in other systems, with other fleets, etc.

Steps to Reproduce

1. In the attached save game, select one of two fleets in the Matarca system.

2. Select the combat button and press "fight".

3. The game enters an endless loop. The hourglass symbol starts spinning and never stops.

Reproducibility

5/5

Expected Behavior

The battle screen should load and a battle between the two fleets should begin.

Save game: Empire - war with Horatio 5 - Matarca siege.zip

Have had the same issue, in literally all of the (four) games I've attempted to play. I'm not going to bother uploading a save, there's plenty to go on already. Extremely disappointing to find a game-breaking bug of this magnitude that hasn't been caught and fixed before release.

So, guys, I am almost sure this caused by mercenaries. For some reason they stuck in battle with pirates fleet.
Military tech tree. 4th tier. Prepped bases.

From my experience. I've got stuck with AI choosing tactics for battle. Reload 1 turn back. Still stack. Decide to found why. Reload 1 turn back again. Build and send ship to every system of galaxy to look for reason. There was only one system with 2 different emeny fleest. One was pirates, others was mercenaries know as "UNKNOWN EMPIRE".

I reloaded 5 turns back, occasionally found this UNKOWN fleet and destroyed. Problem solved for some time. Better I'd buy all ships from market LUL.

So, my theory is why its the mercenaries who ruins my game experience? They ruled by some UNKNOWN AI, so they dont really affect turns of races. That's why I can do such a thing as build and send ship to every system. Races totally ignore me, AI controling them still chooses tactics for battle 10+ turns before.

But no hope for you guys, cause on loading all units out sight of vision seemed to spawn randomly, pirates and unknow fleet as well.

Summary / Title

Battle unable to start after pressing "Fight" button

Description

If I try to launch a figth or if the AI start a figth with me, wathever the option I choos (retreat or figth), the hourglass would stuck on spinning and never progress. If I do something else (reducing the battle popup) then if I reopen it, button are not grey anymore, but clic have no effect. All figth impossible due to "a fight already take place in that system" message.

Note that during one of my try, I manage to escape a fleet about to be engage, and notice that in some system the message "a fight already take place in that system" appear, without any figth in popup list.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Select any of my fleet.

2. Attack a enemy fleet.

3. Select "Fight" or "retreat" on the Batttle Screen 

Reproducibility

5/5

Expected Behavior

Hourglass would stuck on spinning and never progress, the battle never process.
