CAN'T END TURN!!!

I'm at 800+ turns and got this bug right after downloading v.1.08...the game is now unplayable. The end turn function no longer works. I've removed any units possibly on auto explore or waiting to move and no improvement. Stardock really should be ashamed of themselves for rendering a good game useless without addressing this as I see posts about this for at least 4 weeks going back. Has anyone found any solutions besides the auto-explore one?

If you post your saved game I'll personally look into it.

My suggestion would be to use DropBox (http://www.dropbox.com) -- amazing service btw, anyone reading this I recommend trying it out.

Then put your saved game (like your auto save) up there and share the link here. Then I'll download it and try it out.

Thank you...I'm pretty frustrated as I really love the game. Even with that though, I'm very impressed with the responsiveness from you. I look forward to hearing from you.

Yep ! Stardock CEO "Frogboy" is extremely dedicated and hard working : posting and offering to test on a Saturday evening !

That's why I am convinced this game will become awesome.

I look forward. I am not interested in the past.

I had the same problem last night - I think it was related to an auto resolve battle not resolving. In the end I saved, shut down the game and restarted - everything worked again after this.

 

I don't think I over-wrote the save if you guys want to take a look at it?

Sort of kinda pity his wife though:

Brad: "Erm......hun?"

Wife: "Yes, dear?"

Brad: "As you know, we've released Elemental."

Wife: "Yes?"

Brad: "Ok, so a few things didn't turn out exactly as expected - in fact a bit more than a few things. Nothing major, though. Lord, no. Nothing major at all."

Wife: "I'm sorry to hear that, dear."

Brad: "Yeah. What that means is that...erm... I'm probably erm...not...erm...going to be at home much....erm...for a while at least."

Wife: "Define 'a while'"

Brad: "Say........"

Brad: "Until Christmas?"

Wife: "But there's week-ends, right? We have those?"

Brad: "See, the thing is. You know I'm dedicated, right? So week-ends will probably be spent supporting forum users. You know....the usual stuff that CEOs do. Checking saved games and such."

Wife: "...."

Brad: "So....just wanted to let you know, hun."

Wife: "...."

Brad: "?"

Wife: "BBBBRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAADDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11801197/stuck.EleSav This save is stuck already

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11801197/last.EleSav Here the game isn't stuck yet, but whatever I do the game becomes stuck after a few turns. it also crashed a few time when I entered Kraxxis

Oh and I'm using the old armor mod btw, dunnow if that makes any difference

I'm like 530 turns in a game, never had a problem. And funnily enough after reading this topic last night I started getting the button stuck. I've tried reloading several time but then they load as stuck. Then I turned on the autoturn option again, that solved it for a couple of turns but then got stuck again. And when the button got stuck, I tried getting a unit out of a town and move it, but it only comes out and doesn't react then

Oddly enough, the game still seems to function properly when this happens...units can still move, you can save, etc...just can't advance the turn...once the end turn button turns gray...that's it.

I have seen this on occasion and while there is a legit bug, I also have noticed that if you have a single unit engage a monster in single combat, they will fight and it might take awhile for it to resolve since it doesn't go to the battle screen. Turn button greys out during this time and you can't advance the turn, but can finish moving the rest of your units. Lot of times if you either look around for where the battle was or are just patient, it resolves and you can then advance the turn.

I've had this too and have been able to advance the turn by turning the auto end turn on and attempting to move a unit.   For some reason that advanced the turn even though no amount of clicking the turn button would suffice.  After the turn advanced, I was able to shut the auto turn off and continue as normal.

 

I'm not sure if that is the same as your auto explore solution or not.

check unfinished auto combat of your heros by activating all heros (even if they have no movementpoints anymore). i guess its stuck auto selected unit bug.

Did this game start out in 1.07? I got an error from the event system while loading, which would explain your stuck turn.  The unit that was having the problem would never get its orders.

In your save game, it looks like somehow one of the AI units got added to the player's unit list twice, so it saved the unit twice, which caused a problem as soon as you loaded it.  We're trying to track down the cause now, but there's nothing obvious since we're already doing a check to see if the unit is already in the list.

Yes...I've been playing this game across several updates...

sounds like a weird one in a million glitch...

The secret, as suggested by another post, is to move your heroes with auto-explore enabled. What I did to finally resolve this was turn off all the auto-explore options on all my units doing the auto-exploring, then moved them, then hit end-turn again - and it worked. If you don't have someone auto-exploring, it could be another auto-_ problem, like suggested here auto-combat. other post: /391383
