I alt-tab out, notice game still running 50% CPU and 841k memory. But can't do anything else. had to end process
Had this happen to me also, and keeps happening on the same turn. Unfortunately it doesn't generate an debug.err
Can you still interact with everything, only the turn button is "stuck" in the disabled state?
When I've had this happen nothing in the game could be interacted with at all. No tooltips for hovering over units, no clicking of any UI elements, it was just totally frozen. Yet just like the OP the music kept playing and the mouse was still movable and still looked like a feather. Had to minimize the game and end the process after a few minutes of nothing happening.
Something similar happens very often when I try to load a game. It just get's stuck at the "creating world" screen playing music but doing nothing else. Not sure if it's related.
Ditto here on the hanging action. For me it happens AFTER I end the turn and the next turn begins. For example my latest hang was after the research discovery popped-up and allowed me to select the tech I want, but hung after selecting 'continue' (I picked quarries btw).
I've had the game hang on other instances as well, but I haven't discovered a repeatability trigger.
update on my part: the hang isn't caused by choosing quarries.
If it helps figure out where the hang is occurring in the end turn/begin turn scripts, my units are showing as refreshed (have their full moves) on the empire tree by the time I get here. I doubt that will help much if you already know it is hanging after the new tech select though.
