As workaround: a simple save and reload game should fix the issue.

It happens too often, even if i reload save game, this bug still occurs after some turns, making the game unplayable. I suspect it's somehow related to population, since i'm moving some pops from planet to planet. I could finish only 3 games out of 8, because of bug like this and non functional diplomacy.

Here's my save file:

AutoSave 744.sav

When I reload the save, the bug does not persist. Could you go to "Documents/Endless Space 2/temporary files" and share a diagnostics file that matches a session in which this bug happened?

After some point in the game, end turn doesn't refill movement points, doesn't grant resources/science/industry. So everything is effectively locked. Reload fixes this isue (but not on the turn it happened). Problem is, at some point it starting to happen to often, that I imagine a lot of people will become frustrated and mad.

That is why I am asking you to share the diagnostics file: If the bug "fixes" itself when reloading, tracking it down with a save can be very difficult. The diagnostics file could give us valuable clues.

Here's another save file and 2 dignostics files (couldn't attach zip archive because of error, so it's 7z):

AutoSave 743.sav

Diagnostics.7z

p.s.  I got 1 old diagnostics file that is 300MB, kinda big one.

If it's 300mb large, then it is most likely from an error like this, though not necessarily the same. If you manage to compress it enough, please share it.

I got similar problem but it is manifests after 4-5 click in game interface.So i can add 3 hero skills then add 1-2 buildings to queue then game woint accept any clicks except end turn which is hanged forever and wont complete.  1.sav Restarting game and reloading wont help next turn click are limited and then you spend them game basically doesnt work.

Sure, here:

Diagnostics.7z

Same thing appears to be happening to me.  Reloading prior saves does not fix issue.

I've had this happen to on two different playthroughs around turn 199. Will start a third play, but right now games seem to break regardless of choices when the empire becomes a bit too large.

Citan, thanks for the saves and diagnostics. Could I ask the others to share theirs as well?

Taking a glimpse at those diagnostics, I think the error is unrelated to the UI, but rather to the marketplace restocking, which is yet another cause for this behavior I have never seen before.

Thanks. I've passed your save and diagnostics along.

Many thanks.

Upgrading to the PatchPreview fixed it for me. Vodyani is in my game.

Thanks.

I have the same issue, its really frustrating turn 234 in hard mode ... what can we do to fixe this definitly ?

Well, this thread was not about unskippable turns, I could pass turns, they're working fine and counting fine, AI ships were moving just fine too. Seems like others got similar or related bugs.

P. S. And yes, it happened much more often when I was playing as the Vodyani,

Did the new patchpreview not help at all?

Actually, I though it was fixed by the first patch after Nakalim DLC released. At least I never encountered it again in my playthroughs. :)

Well, that is some good news :)

Exact same thing happened to me. One turn everything is fine, next one nothing works, can't add buildings to queues, can't initiate battles, can't add skillpoints to heroes, can't save, can't end turn. Around turn 170.

Gimme Dust.sav this is save immediately before the turn it happened

AutoSave 1947.sav this is save from the turn it happened

for some reason the original diagnostics file can't be added even when compressed. uncompressed it has over 500mb.

Diagnostics - 2019'11'02 @1751'59''.zip diagnostics from today when I tried again. this one has "just" 20mb

Edit: just saw the thing about vodyani, I have two of them in the game when it happens..

Steam patch preview under beta should do the trick.

As stated in another thread, we've been looking into the issue. Not all of them have the same source, but the most common culprit seems to be a problem in the quest system, specifically related to the Vodyani main quest.

We are already examining a fix internally. Until we are ready to roll out that fix,  I would recommend making sure you do not put Vodyani in your game to avoid this particular source of the problem.

Hi

I know this is an old thread, but I was just playing a multiplayer match as the Vodyani with my friend and we seem to have run into this very same issue.

Suddenly at turn 59, after a couple of clicks, nothing works. Can't move ships, can't add buildings to queue, can't choose research, nothing.

We're playing the latest version of the game (1.5.60) with all DLCs. I believe that the bug is related to the Vodyani quest bug because this was the first time that I progressed the main Vodyani quest beyond chapter 2. I always play Vodyani and never progress beyond it and we never experienced this bug before.

Please help! We really love the game and don't wanna loose our save. The match was pretty intense.

Here are the save file and diagnostics

AutoSave 345.sav

Diagnostics - 2024'06'02 @2129'56''.zip

Thanks in advance
