[BUG] Manual "Next Turn"

October 31, 2012 1:15:39 AM from Elemental ForumsElemental Forums

First I would like to say great job with the over all improvments of the game...  I loved the concept of war of magic and thank you by doing right by us the gamers and fans!

Anyway, the bug I encountered is when you try to manually end your turn (several turns into the game) the game seems to "lock up".  I am still able to move map, zoom, select units. I have tried several ways to get around this "issue" however most of them lead to "game not responding" and it will NOT pick up agian.

System: Win Vista 32 , 3.4ghz quad phenom II,  8g ram, Nvidia 9800GTX+ (with latest drivers)

I would be very thankful if this problem could be looked into, as I am a fan of VERY large and long games.  It can be difficult to end turn when you have many units at your command and just want them all to stay, without having to click "pass" or "gaurd" on all of them.

   Anyway thanx agian...

I am not sure what your problem is, since you can end the turn with the button in the right lower corner (or the Enter key). Or do you mean that doing so locks the game for you?

I had the same problem I think. Manual end turn and then the little hourglass keeps coming back. You can rush production but the queues don't update. Your units are unable to move. Only happened to me once, dunno how to replicate it.

I've had stuck tactical battles where an AI unit highlighted, but nothing happened, but not end turn on the strategic screen.

I had this happen recently.  Saving, quitting, and reloading got me out of it.

I just had this happen as well, with the added benefit of my main army (with Tarth Sovereign in it) coming partially under AI control after a few reloads got it unstuck. Now when I try and move them, the stack moves one space, then the AI sets some new destination for it some squares away, and pulls it one square in that direction. Had to give up on the game after reloads failed to clear the weirdness...

This happened right after I took an enemy outpost; not sure if there's a relationship there. Very odd.

I think this is a memory leak problem, I have them all the time.  Just have to save, close and reload.

Nope, that method originally got it unstuck, but the main army stack refuses my orders and goes into what looks like "explore" mode, no matter what I do. This particular game appears to be a wash. Very strange.

Hit the explore on the unit again.  Once a unit is on explore, they are always on explore until you hit "explore" again.

Yeah they really need a highlight to show that the unit is on explore... maybe a floating eyeball over their head when they are exploring.

Without the save or a debug.err file (or both) I don't see how they can possibly help you or figure out what caused this.
