Never happened to me.

Has happened to me in every game I ever played, bar none.  Was forced to give the game a negative review on steam as I read many others have been facing this issue for years.

Are you sure it is this bug in particular though?

The turns are stuck in pending on this patch because of combat notifications, try dismissing them.

If the end turn does not specifically state that the AI are in talks, there is no reason to account it to this particular bug.

Perfect fix for me - you were right, I was looking in the wrong place. I'm so glad I did - thanks to you I can enjoy this fantastic game again! Thank you!

Shame on the developers, announced the final patch, but did not solve this and other fatal problems.

With each patch, the number of fatal bugs only increases.

Because of this, over the past month, none of my 10 games had reached the end.

Please add version 1.2.4 to the beta steam property.

Otherwise, I will forget about this game forever.

I just want to come out and say - this is a literal gamebreaking bug, both in single and multiplayer.

I've logged in hundreds upon hundreds of hours in ES2, and I cannot begin to count the amount of times when I've had to stop games more than halfway complete because I or all of the players get stuck having to reload the same round over and over again. Sometimes it feels like it's more than just talking - like it might also be some kind of space combat that never gets resolved, or some kind of event, etc. Regardless of whatever the cause may be, the end result is the same - the turn never ends. I've sat there for 30 minutes waiting for the game to solve its hangups. I've restarted my machine, reloaded my round, and waited 30 minutes before hitting "end turn", just in case, and got the same result.

I really want to recommend this game to more people, but I am sincerely scared to make my friends shell out the 70 bucks or so to pick up the core game and DLC on sale knowing that any of our games may drop or hit an endless turn at any given time. Which is sad, because I have been destroying *everyone* as the Choir these days, just endlessly beating the ever loving crap out of everybody else at once, only to have the game hit an endless turn or just perma desync.

Repost from another thread.

Found the "solution" to this damn bug.  When the turn wont end, simply click on all the notifcations icons to the right and acknoledge / close them all by clicking "Done".  Do this even if they have been previously acknowledged.  When there no notifications left - not even grey ones, the turn will end.   So the problem is 100% confirmed to be related to the pop up dialogues that need to be closed.  

I am sure there are people out there who found this solution before me. Now that the problem has been identifed, why hasn't it been fixed? It should be childs play to fix this. its probably even on a scripting level since its a UI thing.

TLDR; When this bug occurs, click on all notifications to the right, and choose the "Done" option to close them.  Do it until there are no notifications left at all, not even grey ones.  

This does not work for me. I am stuck at turn 173 playing Riftborn. I tried many things like disabling notifications, auto-resolve events, i tried reloading a few turns back and made different decisions, i tried looking for particular events (fights, quests...) that may trigger the bug, but it still stops at "pending turn".

Here i am, dozens of hours into a game and i can't seem to make it work. I don't have the will to restart another playthrough as it will happen again.

Please tell me you have found a solution :'(

3 turns away from a wonder victory to finally achieve the "I'll Bite Yer Legs Off" achievement, and I'm stuck by this bug.  I love Amplitude, and lowkey wish to possibly work here one day, but this is just shameful.  This has been known about for years now.

I've encountered this problem many times, but last time it was really tough to solve. So I decided to register to share my solution to the problem.

At first, I try to reload the autosave 0-1 turns before. If that doesn't work try to look at the diplomacy status screen (Hover over "End turn" button). If you see any faction that has pending request try to make an offer to them, or do something to trigger their response. It worked for me.

Hope that helps anyone.

A cunning solution, good job.

Shameful that the Amplitude never got around to fixing these numerous pending bugs after all these years. Very frustrating spending 40+ hours on a save to not be able to finish it.

I love their games but i wouldn't recommend their upcoming titles to my friends when this is their company culture.

If you're finding this post through google wondering if you should buy the game. STAY AWAY.

Still happening. There are no notifications. Says the Naklim are in talks. Was able to talk to them via diplomacy screen. No change.

Yet another playthrough ruined by this bug. It's actually my 3rd one in just one week's time. I tried everything, I even forced peace through diplomacy screen to try and get the stuck faction to finish the talks, nothing helps. Reloading does nothing. It's ridiculous that this has not been fixed. I just bought the Vaulters DLC too cause I liked the faction so much in Endless Space 1 and Endless Legend, now I just feel like I wasted my money. 

I can only suggest to wait till May 6th and hope, that they fixed enough of these bugs until then.

I've tried all the suggestions and have gotten all the AI races to "Ready" by various means but it doesn't matter...Pending remains and it never moves on. In thousands of hours on this game this is my first encounter with this bug, occurring in turn 91 on Impossible, and I'm dismayed to find that it's been around a long time. I am concerned that it has become more prevalent since the March update.
