my saves still get stuck on wait [e digicons]:'([/e]

Well, I just ran into this bug. Turn 287, cannot save or continue. Trying the 1.31 optin now.

Edit: nope, still gets stuck on Idle Ship greyed out. Save game here: http://nova.xzibition.com/~nexworks2/Game3.zip

Yup, guess I jinx myself. Just got it again. First time in this game.

Edit: the good news is I was finally able to successfully submit a ticket after trying numerous times over the past several months... Though I didn't see any indication that my submitted file was attached to my ticket. Hopefully that uploaded all right.

@ a0152570 - I downloaded your save and ran it to the next turn.  Here's the save from that point.

Perhaps it'll work for you now that it's past the stuck point.  

@ Annekynn - I ran yours to the next turn too.  Here's the save if you'd like to try it.

Thanks! Ill go try it right now. How are you getting the turns to complete correctly?

Edit: game loads but as soon as I try to do anything (press button in bottom right, or try to colonize) it CTDs immediately

Tried a new game tonight, with the new patch, and I got a stuck turn again

Then I tried to retire and I got a CTD.

Also, clicking on "retire", than "mainmenu" gives me a CTD.

It's too late for me to try anything else and I'm gonna see Metallica tomorrow night, so won't have time before the week-end to retest it.  This game had some mods, my custom race, some custom ship designs and custom races from Steam Workshop.  I'll have to try without mods of any kind if I have the same problem.

Hay thank man for going to the trouble,  obviously it worked for you, wonder why not for for me.  Its late now, will give it a run tomorrow and let you know

My game also sticks on turn 777 (lucky turn?).

1.3.1 opt-in.

Exiting the game leaves the process hanging around and I have to end task to finally kill it.

Here's the save:

I was just loading it and hitting the turn button.  Sorry about the CTD.  I don't know why that happened, but it might be because I don't have all of the DLC downloaded.  I only have the Snathi DLC enabled in Steam.  I'll enable all of them and try again this evening.

Well, I decided to roll back from the opt-in to see if I could continue my game that I've already invested many hours into. Of course my save games from 1.31 don't work with 1.3 but I was fortunate enough to still have a save game from right before installing 1.31. Loaded that up and saw I was only 6 turns away from the spot that kept locking up. I was able to easily go past that point. So the good news is, I still haven't lost my game and 1.31 seemed to cause more trouble with this stuck turn bug for me than 1.3 has so far. We'll see how far I can get before it happens again.

Yeah I tried that, rolling back to a save file 2-3 turns away, still eventually broke though at the same spot. Sigh.

Drop a link to the save after my post here and I'll send them over to pshaw. Thank you!!

I also have ticket IDN-366-67845 open with the file attached there.

Well buddy it worked! .  Very strange though. My saves (with  stuck turn) FROM 1.3,  running under 1.3.1 were still stuck after a few turns.  I downloaded both your "fixed" files and ran under 1.3.1; they worked (at least for 5 turns) .  You must have some voodoo working for you
