end of turn "wait" hang

Published on February 3, 2015 By texashopkins In GalCiv III Support

I submitted a bug on this a while back(with dump, etc) but my buddy and I have tracked down that this particular problem is definitely tied to having one player in a sub screen when the other player ends his turn. It then sometimes doesn't successfully transfer the turn.

We have initiated a protocol where we dont go in a subscreen(govern,tech,planet management, etc) while its the other guy's turn without telling them(and they then wait to end turn)

With this protocol we are able to play much longer without issues.

I have the same problem, aka turn 200 - 357 wait hang. I have windows 10tp build 9926 the latest AMD Radion R9 270 drivers, and well the latest of every thing. 8gb ram, FX8150 overclocked to 4.7ghz (stable for 2 years *Woot!!*) 90gb SSD, 1TB HD, Also I have the 0.71 opt in hotfix for GC3. Tried having the ai play for me trick, truning off each one, one at a time, of the graphics options, and sound, Nothing. Still hangs I have noticed these issues, when loading my save from before the hang I hear an odd sound from the game no matter what audio out put selected. I tried submitting a help ticket earlier but my PC crashed. I had 800MB of crash reports to send you but I deleted them to try that as well as saving space. Also I wanted to point out how much ram GC3 uses I have, according to the victory have 50% of the Tech researched about 50% of the map explored, also I am using an imminence galaxy with all races available and me playing Alterain. My task manager tells me when in game and before the hang I was using 90% of total ram my pc idles around 17 - 20% on most desktop tasks.
