My guess is that the AI is now more multithreaded and therefore hates my singlecore processor.

This issue continues in 0.77. Can't go past turn 19. Again, there's enough RAM for it to expand, which it does not use, and the processor usage is at around 40%, not 100% like it is when the AI actually calculates it's next move.

A bit more info. Ending turn 1 is almost instant, the rest vary between 40-50 seconds at first and then increase to about a minute.

After installing patch 0.77, ending a turn takes a lot longer than in the previous version, even on the lowest difficulty level on a tiny map takes a long time, on a medium map it can take up to a minute. Memory efficiency is slightly better though. Haven't run into the "can't end turn" bug encountered in 0.76, but mostly because I haven't progressed enough turns for it to occur, due to the high delay at the end of a turn If needed, Debug: <a href="http://pastebin.com

Last attempt, on a tiny map, dificulty set to the lowest. Managed to get 39 turns in before getting stuck. I thought it may have been RAM related, but before it got stuck there were more than 100MB free, and I've seen it work with as low as 50 free. I even had explorer disabled so there woudln't be anything non-vital eating up memory. Debug: http://pastebin.com/rzybtGzP

"+ Reduced memory usage" That's music to my ears. Looking forward to the patch, hopefully it will fix my getting stuck at the end of a turn problem. [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]

Tried it again without changing any settings. Got from turn 13 to turn 28 and then stuck again. Debug: http://pastebin.com/bLATCM1X I should be getting my other, more competent, PC back on it's feet next month, si this isn't that big an issue for me, but it may relevant to others.

I got to 19 turns by disabling the auto-save. I'll try starting a game and not changing anything(I tend to fiddle with the cloth map), maybe it'll work. I wouldn't say it's about how much RAM XP can handle, but more about how much I've got. I still hope it will be playable on 1GB. Kinda wish it moved more stuff in the 512MB dedicated video memory(if that's how it works, it probably doesn't)

It happened again, this time at turn 19. I won't post the saved game, since it seems to persist even if I restore back to a state where ending a turn worked. I noticed in the debug.err that it seems to get stuck after this: Step 2: Thread: Setting AI Event Semaphore Debug: http://pastebin.com/R1GxN9JN (note, I cut the part of the debug where it was exiting the game so I could fit it into Pastebin)

I have the exact same problem at around turn 16-17. https://forums.elementalgame.com/416369 Be sure to post your debug file and your saved game, in case they can be used to determine what exactly is causing this.

Not a bad idea, with the condition of being able to find/cast/something a geas on his heart, to make him loyal again under pain of death and eternal suffering. Yoshimo style :D

Right then. Started a new game, small map (previous was on a medium map), built a town, got a few heroes, foguth a few monsters, started a few quests and BAM. Stuck at the end of a turn. And again, it's at turn 16-17. If this happens a third time, I think there may be a pattern. Save: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12979284/stuck4.EleSav Debug: http://pastebin.com/Sfz5hAqg

Funny you should mention mauling, my first fight in FE was against a bear cup, who's constant maul attacks put my sovereign into a permanent state of stun, causing him to lose the battle... twice.

I've only gotten a few turns in and I've run into my first problem. It's only happened on one game so far, but it happens every time, at about the same time. After I hit the end turn button, the game just sits there, with the hourglass, not allowing me to start a new turn. The weird part is that I can still sort of move my units, I can move them out of the city, which is a free move, but I can't make them go further. I can use the shop, I can even cast spells, but I can't

It's 5AM, I'm wide awake and downloading the beta [e digicons]:rofl:[/e]

But even if they are crippling, there could be ways implemented to heal the crippled, like a quest to find the Water of Life.

Aw nuts, I'm still not in the beta. Could it be because the game was added to my account in October by tech support, instead of registered directly, since the box got here in January?

Three hours left and I sort of kind of finished work early/on time. [e digicons]*_*[/e]

To be fair, prices for SSDs have declined faster than for the HDD(over the course of the decads), but yea, it's still a bit much. Although it's expected to drop to about 0.60$ by the end of the year. What I am hoping is that the ones that can be attached to a PCIx slot get cheaper, since they're wickedly fast. May your SSD serve you well Island Dog.

Ah, in that case [e digicons]x_x[/e] I usually dump everything in a txt file once every few lines. Been doing that since Opera was in it's crashy period.

Oh, that's normal for me. But yeah, no e-mail either. Still, we should be able to download it regardless when it goes live, if I understood correctly.

Depending on what word processor you were using, there still may be temporary autosaves stored as invisible files somewhere. Not sure how usable they are, but it may save you from starting from scratch.

There could be a "Scout the lair" option, where you could send in someone. If he gets eaten, then you should steer clear of the place. If he gets back with one arm missing and holding one foot, it may be a rough fight, and so on. Or a "Scry" spell.

I feel there should be injuries, not all, but some, that resemble this:
