Thre's a new patch that addresses the turns not progressing

Existing saves should be fine so re-test any saves you have and please report back with your gameplay experience.

Mine are working just fine, though I do still get that error screen pop-up on load of a save, something about empty contract proposal. 

A change in quests resulted in an exception being thrown out, and that exception in turn corrupted the save.

Can you share your save folder here for both games? Click Reply then the little file icon next to the camera and picture icon, it'll let you upload your zipped save folder.

Thank you!

Just going to chime in here, I and many others are having these exact issues, so the game is "LITERALLY UNPLAYABLE" right now. 

(add to this, the "rare" infinite End Turn bug that happens each game and forces you to quit, and yeah the game is "LITERALLY UNPLAYABLE")

Here, have all of my saves, I can't load any of them, be it UE or another faction, thought it was a UE problem at first but, after starting 4 UE games (forced to quit due to infinite end turn bug), I started a Vodyani, same deal with that...

Deleted all of of my pre-patch saves, because they would not load either (after the patch).

Anyways, I really hope this gets hotfixed as fast as humanly possibly. :/

game laggier after patch.zip

I have the same problem too. Uploaded 2 saves from different UE games. The loading bar gets stuck 2/3 of the way at "Launching Game".

I've been experiencing the same thing with my game as Vodyani.

I'm also having this issue. Here's the relevant save file United Empire 1.zip

Hey guys,

We've found and fixed the cause of this issue. It'll be fixed in the next update. However, you will need to start new games to stop experiencing the issue, as the fix will not be retroactive.

Will this be coming in a hotfix or later?

Hotfix, tentative end of week if the build presents no issues. Keep in mind this will not fix the performance issue, for which we're probably settling in for quite a ride (we've chained the team to their desk just so we're sure they're on it).

Tried two games with United Empire - got to quit 2 times. Now - in both cases - i'm stuck with this screen. Can't load the savegames - even the auto ones from former turns. I've checked pre-update1 saves - they load just fine. The problem seems to be connected to UE only.

Can we a expect the hotfix today, or should we expect to still not be able to play enjoy playing the game without being at the mercy of the not so rare infinite end turn bug, and then be forced to start a new game, because we can't load any saves, for another week?

i feel the same way, it IS early access and a pre-build, so we can't really be entitled - but then again, i really really do want to play, this patch has added so much to the game that i'd love to explore. i also find that my infinite pending turn bug seems to happen like clockwork around turn 50, at least once the save corruption is fixed i can start uploading my saves to help debug THAT issue, lol

Also frog i've noticed that my saves seem to corrupt VERY early, as early as turn 3-5. is it possible there is another issue causing it ontop of the quest issue (here's to hoping that's not the case :P)? and again - thank you for that peice of information, understanding that helps me wrap my head around what exactly is going on with the game.

Our QA team expects to have an answer on fix viability early next week. Apologies for the disappointment if you planned on playing over the next couple of days. 

If you had stuff to do around the house, no excuses this week-end, guys!

Hmm, I know you are doing your job but "HOTFIX" is a fix you release early on to fix a thing that is broken. You don't wait a week or weeks to put it into a nice polished package with roses and candy- thats not how business work.

With all due respect- In my company i would fire people like these. Wasted potential money, wasted reputation. Its very hard to keep a customers loyalty and trust- its very easy to screw it in matters of seconds. That's how world works.

And after you release the hotfix then yes-you can take your time to polish it neatly in the next big update. Do you have any idea how many people this has affected? I'm sure you do. Its not fanboys that floats the company- its the little people in grey area what pays the bills at the end of the month- always have been always will be.

Also- and this does not exclude your company- If you have latest i7s max 128Gbs rams and dual Titan pascals its not what 90% of the world has. Sure with that serious hardware any game runs without conflict as it can "brute" force most of the things- but most of the people still run your games on hardware that's on average 10 years old, you have to have -if you havent already- have such hardware in your QA department. If you didnt know world is poor, some poeple save months of their salaries to go for a decison to buy a genuine(not pirated) game. But these poeple have the potentional to improve their lifestyle and when they do- these popele will buy your product in the future if they had good experience with it. 

They will surely think twice if they had a bad experience seeing how a big company struggles with a hotfix due to release asap instead delaying it for days. Loosing potential demand is a poor business strategy.

My 2 cents- take it as you will.

it can sometimes take time to find a fix that wont break something else though
