[SOLVED - 1.3] Turn stuck on "Wait"

Published on September 6, 2015 By MottiKhan In GalCiv III Support

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>

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

I failed to mention this but that's what mine does also

here is another file started in 1.3 and gets stuck at turn 150

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

That's too bad. I've been able to continue on for another 20+ turns past my stuck point with 1.31 since going back to 1.3.

Hey folks

We've fixed a stuck turn problem and updated the opt-in.

BUT it did not work 100%. See my save after 1.3.1

Give me a few minutes to download the DLC and I'll give it another try.

In the mean time, can you verify your Steam GalCiv3 Integrity Cache? (Go to your library, right click on GalCiv3, go to Properties, click on Verify Integrity of Game Cache.)

<edit> I got it past the stuck turn, but kept going for two more turns to troubleshoot it. I got a CTD on the second turn when I tried to move a fleet. I don't think I can help you on this game. Sorry. </edit>

Thanks for trying! Yes I verified game integrity after having the latest optin installed just to make sure its all there.

Since this thread has served its purpose, I'll go ahead and lock it so it can sink into oblivion. Thanks everyone for your replies and help and thanks to the devs for the fixes.
