Question about old saves and the turn hang bug

from GalCiv3 Forums

Would an old (before Beta 4 Patch 1) save experience a turn hang (end turn, wait forever) bug if loaded under the new patch?  I ask because after several hours of playing a save I started a couple days ago, now on v 0.71.1.0, I have encountered this bug again.  At this same point, attempting to remove fog of war results in a CTD.

Have I encountered an unfixed error or am I more likely experiencing something that was left over in my old save file that's causing the freeze/crash?

I can't speak to specifics of this case, but one should never assume saves will be compatible between different beta builds.

It is axiomatic that during a Beta saved games from previous builds may fail. The reason is that code for new features can conflict with the content of the saved game. While this might not happen on every new build, it is to be expected.

I have loaded a save that was in a wait state at save due to the hang and it did progress.
