Turn button get stuck

from Stardock Forums
I have a game where the turn button gets stuck. Press the turn button, it stays in 'processing' mode and never returns to 'Turn' even though all game functions are active and availaible. Result, you can't proceed to the next turn as you don't have access to the 'Turn' button.

I can get around this by saving the game and loading it again. The loaded game opens with the Turn button available.

Dunwich,

Are you on 3Z? Is this near the end of a game on a gigantic map with lots of ships? I haven't had a look at 3Z or 3Z1 yet, but I know that 3E could take a couple of minutes to do the next turn processing. Have you given it 5 minutes or more and tried to measure how long it takes to complete?

ive had the same problem hehe, definetly something that needs to be addressed.

especially when there are over 100 ships moving each turn

As mentioned in the info on beta 3Z, fleets cause this.

I was running 3Z and it was fairly early on in the game on a gigantic map. The turns were processing fairly quickly, more quickly than in earlier builds. Brad had asked if I was using fleets (I was)so maybe that was the trigger. In any case, I can not duplicate the event in 3Z1. I did wait up to 5 minutes, but as it was early on in game time I did not wait longer. All game fuctions, screens, and options were available except the Turn button so I concluded that the turn had processed.

No changes to fleet code were made in beta 3Z1. I am not involved with that fleet code.
