Description: This occurs once you have chosen the battle play and clicked to view the battle. The game locks up on the loading phase indefinitely.

Steps to Reproduce: This has happened twice so far in my current game as Horatio. I have not noticed any definite reproducible steps. Have not seen it occur when combat viewer is set to off.

Expected Behavior: The battle cinematic should play.

Version: 1.0.36

Sorry that I don't have a save closer to the issue happening. The first time it happened I thought it was just a freak occurance. 

Let me know if you need any other files or explanations.

Will do as soon as I get back to my PC at home.

Output Log as requested.

Perfect! Thanks Slashman, I forward it to the programmer.

Hey Slashman,

Thanks for the report and the saved game. We have reloaded it, and found a hidden internal issue (something to do with planet anomalies), both nothing on the battle. We tried a few which ran fine. And you graphics hardware seems fine. 

If you can produce a saved game closer to your freeze, please let us know. 

Cheers,

Hmmm. I will start saving before each battle to see if I can catch it and also to see if it is reliably repeatable.

We have also found some invalid data on some of the horatio spaceships. Nothing that could freeze the game theoretically, but we will fix it for the next patch, just in case.

Sounds good to me. Thanks for taking the time to look into this!

OK here is a save just before a battle where it happened. Fight at Seginus. Choose the hero-lead fleet and attack the explorer ship. Make sure to choose to view the battle cinematic.

Thanks for this new save file, we continue to investigate.

I didn't ask you: could you check if the drivers for your graphic card are up to date? 

Current version on my system nVidia 382.53

Latest version: 385.28

Would that make a difference?

Updating your drivers could fix the issue.

We continue to investigate but tell me if updating your drivers fix something or not.

OK since updating them on Friday I have not had the freeze.

I usually don't always jump to update to the latest graphics driver version in case there are issues with it. So far so good. I'll let you know if I see the issue again.

Thanks for the help and suggestions!

Hello, 

It happened to me yesterday, I'm using a 2019 Mac 16inch with Radeon 5500.

Same exact place, when entering battle cinematic.

P.S the game looks amazing, I just started yesterday because I'm actually looking forward to Humankind and wanted to get some of the mechanics before the April release.
