Hi,



i just started to play again with the new patch. Glad that many bugs are solved now. But at the moment we have a way greater problem. As you already know the loading times ( for saves ) and the time between turns increases dramatically with higher turns. Also map size is another factor too ( i always play huge map, 8 players and endless difficulty ) . I was waiting for 3 - 5 seconds between turns and 10 - 15 seconds to load for the first time when i was in first 50 turns. After that loading times ( for saved games ) increases like 10 seconds per 10 - 15 turns. Computer turn time increases to 10 - 15 seconds. I have an high end PC but with so many variables to calculate and with so many systems 10 to 20 sec between turns and 2 - 3 mins ( maximum ) for loading for the first time is ACCEPTABLE on huge + 8 players. However in my current game i`m at turn 140 and my saves won`t load. I wait for like 5 - 6 mins but it just stucks in there, music stops playing and i`m forced to ctrl+alt+del. I tried different saves, autosaves and my saves but none of them works. I deleted all of my saves; i have only 4 autosaves and 1 normal save but still it does not loads!!1 I just tried to create a new game, and it works as normally. However i`m sure that if that goes past 100+ turns too there is chance for it to not load too! This is so bad. Need a fast fix! Not ``we`ll fix it with new patch`` kinda, games are becoming unloadable!!1



Awaiting for fast fix! Thanks. Game is great btw =)

Hi,



Could you please zip and attach your save to a post (how to attach a save)? Thank you!

Alright, here are my saves. 1178 is the latest autosave and 1177 is the one before it. Turn 143 save is my latest manual save. None of them loads.

Hi Lelouch,



Indeed your saved games do not loads because of a bug regarding razed systems. The fix will be released next week.



Even with the fix, be aware that the loading will take some time because of the game settings (huge galaxy, 8 players, high density, many resources, 100+ systems, 250+ fleets). It takes around 1min45 on my computer, but it can be longer depending on your hardware configuration.



Keep me posted after the fix release.

Had the same problem in a game also after round 120...



Sorry to use this thread but I couldnt access a programmer until now.



Are you also processing the freezing bug in multiplayer games at the end of the turn?



Thanks in advance.

Like i said longer loading times for end game with high settings are acceptable. However this is a gamebreaking bug, why not release a quick fix for it? If we wait 1 week for every damn bug we encounter, we can`t play the game =)

Hi,



The game needs to be tested before every bug fix. Each time we change something it means it can break something else. The next release (1.1.30) doesn't include only this bug fix but others too and will only be available in the beginning of next week if we don't find serious issues.

Again, we are really sorry about the incovenience, we are doing our best to resolve it as fast as we can.



Thanks for your understanding.

I'm having the same issue, very much looking forward to the fix. It's very frustrating to spend hours playing and not being able to load games.

It`s already the next week. Where is the patch?

My guess is the bug discovered yesterday will be added to this patch as well. So the testing team is probably on it to see if this patch breaks other things.

have the same bug, one tip, start new game, after loading the new game, load your save (this take some time) it is working for me, hoping a hot fix soon ^^
