Hang in wait

from Stardock.net Forums

I am hanging in "wait' after a specific battle. I can't find any information on how to debug/report the problem. I have restarted from the autosave and have the same problem.

Would you mind posting a link to the save you're referring to? You can just drop it into a dropbox and post a link to that here. The save game files can be found in your Documents under "My Games"

Here is a link to the saved game in Dropbox.

The wait/hang is on the second move after the autosave after there is an attack from another player. Task manager shows 100% GPU and one CPU processor 100% while the wait is pending.  The screen is responsive but anything that requires that it be my turn tells me to wait.

If there is more diagnostic info that I can provide just ask.

 

Thanks in advance.

I wasnt able to reproduce this when i loaded your save. Is anyone else running into this?

I just got back into the game, playing Crusade 3.05 now, and got this too, now in several games, mostly mid-game. It is an older prob I experienced with earlier versions, but thought to have been fixed yet.

 

The prob with reproducing is that - at least in my case - I can get around this by save/menu/reload.

After reloading the turn button is active again, (saying "turn" instead of greyed out "wait").

But once it starts, it occurs again and again, in shorter intervals, so at some point I'd have to save/reload every couple turns.

 

In the middle game it is seriously frustrating, and keeping me from completing games.

 

Edit: FWIW, I had this earlier on a completely diff. machine, now after ca. a year it's a brand new one, Win 10 64 Pro installed from scratch.

 

Edit2: unlike the OP, it does not seem always to be related to battles for me.

As a little update:

 

In my case things have improved quite a bit since I changed to Crusade 3.1. I still get a greyed out "wait" sometimes, but it is very rare now.

 

I'm not sure if that problem has been specifically adressed, but the only other major change I did from my side was to move my modded files out of their dedicated subfolder ..\My_Docs\My Games\GC3Crusade\Mods\MyMod\Game so that they are now one level up, in the pre-set ..\Mods\Game subfolder.

 

Whatever the actual reason is, the issue is now way less serious for me, happening maybe once in 150 turns or so.
