had same problem with riftborn mine stuck on turn 169 . but if you click end turn and pending appears but dosen't flash then click on any fleet then on any system even if your orbiting a system and don't actually want to move then still click on that system pending should then start flashing and the next turn should start . well it did for me anyway and you shouldn't need to get rid of all the notifications first , but if you start to delete them after pending start's flashing it does speed the process up a bit, not much though

This worked for me. 

This is a pain in the ass, and clearly a game killer

I have now more stress in clicking end turn button than anything else

I have played more than 2500 hours and never saw that before

Sometimes it even hangs on even when every AI is "ready"

This "final patch" is pure crap

woah. 2500 hours?

Hey, so this is obviously still going, though there was a workaround for me this time.

Encountered this turn 124 as Hissho. Great game too, would hate to lose it like this.

It said Zolya was "In Talks" as usual, so I tried everything suggested here, the clicking on random things, playing around with notifications (although I normally clear them all before end turn anyway) tried opening diplomacy and talk to her, tried imposing treaties, even declared war and nothing. 
Saving and loading and quitting the game also didn't help. 

Then I tried loading earlier save and I noticed she was "in talks" even then and the end turn processed. Got to turn 124 and nothing again. Stuck. It wasn't even showing her to be in talks anymore.

So I tried ending the turn and then quicksaving and quickloading while it was pending. As someone here said it worked. 

It didn't. Not at first anyway. I did this three or four times in a row and then suddenly a message popped up about a ground battle that was ongoing but the prompt didn't trigger for some weird reason. 
Dealt with the battle, captured system, queued improvements, assigned governor, ended turn... and it processed! :))

So for me this time it was a ground invasion popup that didn't show and the game couldn't progress without it being dealt with.

So maybe if you have this in the future, try just quick saving and quick loading after pressing end turn until that one stuck popup gets unstuck.

Not ideal, but I am happy I didn't lose the game to a stupid bug.

I fell in love with this game and now everyone here is showing me it will end in heartbreak
