Beta 1.1 Bug - game freezes

from GalCiv2 Forums
The game will hang between turns about 10 turns into a new game every time.

The game is still responsive in all areas, it just hangs there without resolving the turn.

No problems prior to this.

Did you check your debug.err? Also, it might be the auto-save or something, try disabling that.

I had it happened to me... it's actually not a bug.

It's actually because the option "waste moves after auto-pilot" is off. It's waiting for you to move your ships that still have some moves.

Yeah, counter-intuitive a bit, and an undocumented feature but it's there, so don't complain too loudly
