The problem



My friend and I are doing private multi-player. We spend way too much playing and then we save a game. Later I load the game, invite him back,, and launch the game.



WHen we get into the game I cannot move any ships, start any research, build any system improvements.. .nothing works. I click to add construction to the queue... the construction doesn't get added. I select a fleet and tell them to move and they don't. I select a fleet and tell them to start combat and they don't.



So my bud and I decided to hit end turn to see if it fixes itself. When we do hit end turn the game just gets stuck and the game is frozen.



We have started several games now and each save game this occurs. Is this a known issue? Are there any workaround?



Thanks for your help!

If there is some lag upon load and you click ships or things too fast it will stick the game. Wait until full load.

I have this exact problem, a de-sync after saving a multiplayer game.



If we save a game at around the turn 30 mark, it is fine. But usually after turn 50 and above the game has this exact issue.

Bizarre. I have never had an unsuccessful save in a multiplayer game, and I have saved (and restarted) dozens of them.
