[0.298][1Z] Return of the grayed out turn button

from Elemental Forums

I thought this one had been solved several betas ago.  Anyway, I was playing along and hit turn 44, moved my sovereign, and the turn button stayed grayed out.  The space bar would not advance to the next turn either.  I could zoom around the map, go to research, design units, go to options, etc, but could not get the next turn.

debug.err is here.

I was able to save the game, and when I load the saved game I'm able to continue, but the move counter is on 45.  So somehow the turn got advanced but not shown to me.

I don't have a debug.err to go along with it, but I had the same thing happen last night.

I hit this again on 0.299, this time after winning a battle with an AI sovereign.

debug.err is here.

I'm having the same problem. Save the game reload and becomes apparent the problem is caused by pop up window that requires a response not appearing. For example, a faction declaring war on you, or the research complete window. On reloading the window appears, you can respond and continue.

I am having the same issue, but I noticed one thing, it seams that the game is waiting for some unit to move but the unit for some reason can't move. If i disband the unit the next turn button is available again.

It happened to me sometimes when i enter another faction territory and chose to 'retreat in peace', if the unit can't move the game it's stuck ...

When the unit is the sovereign its game over ....

This happened again to me on version 0.30.  debug.err is here. I think that on the turn that was coming up I was completing a research item and also one of my towns was leveling up to level 5.  There is a saved game here, but when I try to load it the game hangs on the "creating world" screen.

I'm having the same problem too, it happened to me in three seperate games, on turn 33, 55, and 99. Unforetunately I can't upload the debug file because mozilla decides to freeze and crash every time I try to copy/paste it. :annoyed:

Same problem here on turn 33, 55, and 99 in three seperate games. Can't upload the debug file though because mozilla decides to freeze whenever I try to copy/paste it.

I really don't know what to think of the turn button greying out. One turn freezes, reload and a popup of ALtar declaring war appears. Another time it's just some events in the list (a few or many).

The previous pic was taken after a reload made due to a turn button greyed. The odd thing is that while trying to see why was the button thing blocked, ordered Procipinee to move to the quest location but she didn't move. She actually was one sqaure to the right of the position of the pic. I'd say that the game has trouble refreshing assests? Sometimes to the point of doing nothing?

I say these because when there is tons of stuff in the map, the button greys out. Sometimes just a bit and then goes to normal. But there are times when the button stays greyed (for minutes). Zooming out completely puts the button fine and the next turn, as well as the unit movements, resume as they should. But is it the same time of bug/lag? In the last game I had the turn button greyed in a recently started game with very few map discovered and zooming didn't work.

:sick:
