Aedaric,

Where those games mentioned above 321, 341, 343, 351 all new games created after 0.71.1? or previous saved games?

If so I would follow the support ticket info.

Oh! Here is the location for dmp files!
"C:\ProgramData\Stardock\Galactic Civilizations III"

Thank you

Well, I've attempted to upload a support ticket six times.  The database seems to be having issues with me.

Hmm, unable to post a new ticket; still recieving the error posted prior.

Had another hang, same game as mentioned prior, at turn 370--an immediate and reload corrected the issue with no CTD or restart of the GalCiv3 client.

Quoting Aedaric,

Aedaric,

I have seen some sites behave like this when you connect to the internet through an internet proxy or over a vpn connection. Sometimes it happens when your browser uses a proxy or caching server to surf the net.

VVVVVV Yeah, if I didn't love this franchise like crazy, I'd probably just leave it for launch.  Actually this is one of a bare couple games I've let myself pre-purchase in the last few years.  To skip that rant, I freakin love this game.

Edit 3: No more hanging turns.  Starting a new file (as recommended) has seemed to alleviate the situation; it at least put my mind at ease about this being caused by ships needing to be populated upon launch.  (earlier in my first save, that seemed to always follow the hanging turn if I could recover from it, and later it seemed utterly perplexing as every single turn required a reload).  But with the new game made after the Opt-In, my turn hang has stopped - so far.  

This save is about ~270 turns in, which is about 30% higher than the usual turn count for my other games (though one of them did somehow last until around 310 IIRC...)

Some weirdnesses that I should probably go ahead and tally for the suggestions / feedback area, but as far as I'm concerned, this is way cool. 

I'd like to see the space battles interface (camera controls) tightened up.  And I'm not sure if it's placeholder or just sort of a concession to development resources, but are the explosions meant to be a few frames' worth of animation that draw out over as many seconds?  Mine do that.  No instability, no slowdown or frame loss, just those animations kind of stutter around. 

Edit: never mind, it died at 298.  Catch you guys at launch~!

Hey everyone,

Getting a very similar issue.  I've had two wait hangs.  The first one, I reloaded the game without exiting and was able to continue without any problems.  Also an Immense map, but with people on Normal difficulty.

The second wait hang (turn 228), I saved and reloaded, the game continued, and then when it appeared that the turn was finished, CTD'd.  After restarting the game and reloading the save, things seem to be working fine.

While hung, cpu utilization as 60 to 80% (core i7-4710HQ @2.5).

As to the uploading of support tickets, when I uploaded ONLY my debug.err files (6MB in size), I was able to successfully create the bug report.  If I uploaded anything bigger than about 10MB, it failed with the errors noted above.  I tried with both IE11 and Chrome (latest).  Once the ticket was created, I was able to add a reply and upload each file independently.  The full compress was about 34 MB in size.

Completely new game after the opt-in patch was applied.

I've played a great many Early Access games since the start of last year and to be honest I love it.  Yes, there are bugs and the game isn't complete, but there is something fun about watching a game develop.  Throughout the process it's also allowed me to see what types of bugs are big issues.  

I just submitted a ticket and a file.  I like the game, but have yet to complete a game due to turn hang.  Started several games after the patch, and varied the size of the galaxies and the game just gets into a wait hang no matter what I do... anywhere between 230-630 turns.  Hope you can get to the bottom of it, as so many of us have reported it.
