My first attempt at a "blog", whatever that means.

I started a new game with the 1.3 Opt-In 2 and it was going along ok until it got stuck on a turn.  This is different from the other "Idle Ship" stuck turns as I can't save the game while it's stuck.  I reloaded and manually used up all ship movements and even decommissioned ships that were stationed at planets and the shipyard, then saved it.

If I hit the Turn button, the AI ships will move, but the game will not progress.  Also, if I hit "Exit", the window will close, but the game stays running in the background until I open the Task Manager and end the task.

Here's the savegame.  If you're not familiar with Google Drive, there's a download button on the top center of the page.

<edit> The game is unplayable.  Stuck forever on "Wait" for the second game in a row.  Again, I had to end task in order to stop it from running. </edit>

I tried the other saves posted here, Autosave and Eldar, both are stuck after 1 turn.

redviper37,

We have a fix for that stuck turn for the next patch release.  

The upcoming fix address the Altarian save game problem (same one as redvipers).   However, I wasn't able to reproduce the problem in the "stuck again" save game file.  It may have been fixed before I had a chance to look at it.

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6pkuLuzakaTRGhtamt2Sk5aNkk has the same problem... Gets about 1/2 through the AI's turns then gets stuck on either waiting or idle ship. This is about 10+ hours that I would like to be able to continue. Guaranteed stuck on the following turn.

Was just about to do a nasty post .  It is truly disappointing when this happens..  Will the fix work on a save game?

Indications look good since he couldn't reproduce the problem on one of my saves, but could on the other.  I hope it works on saved games since my latest game just got stuck on wait.  4 in a row.  I'm on hold until the update.  I hope it's soon.

Thank you! I've been filled with dread wondering if my current game will succumb to this dreaded bug! Being so addicted to this game I couldn't resist starting another one despite the reports that the bug is still present... On turn 280, I still have 8/10ths of the galaxy left to conquer, I've now crawled up to rank position #4 and my fingers are crossed! Wish me luck, I'm going in!!!

A somple Bug and simple to resolve!

 

It happens every time, when you command 2 Ships/Fleets to move to each other!!! In the same turn...

Just avoid this just let them (both) move to an empty tile and get them there combined. Had to save and reload a lot of times until I found it !!!

That's an interesting thought, chburbe.  If the fix hasn't made it out after I get home, I might try looking for that.  I did go back and move all of my ships prior to ending the turn, but didn't notice if any stopped on top of each other.  There were maybe 3 ships that had orders and hadn't used all of their moves yet.  Since I only have a handful of ships total, it should't be hard to check.

Fix did not work for me. I have a save 2 turns away form the bug. Loaded, put everything on guard, even shut down shipyards; two turns later BAM stuck on wait

The opt-in patch works!  No more stuck game.  

Thanks, Stardock!

Excellent news! Looking forward to finishing this long game over the next week or so. Will be interesting to see if the AI starts to kick some more of my butt with all these AI changes.
