Strange Semi-crash...

from GalCiv2 Forums

Ok, I'll be playing along fine until I press the turn button and the game doesn't move to the next turn, in other words it stays between turns. Everything works, I can look at different menus and everything but can't progress any further in the game. I'll try and post a debug.err as soon as possible. (Just wanted to see if anyone had an idea before I do) So, any ideas?

The Turn Button Anomaly... You basically have a few options.
1) Save the game, quit, then rerun TA and reload your game. Open debug.err before rerunning TA though. It makes a new file everytime you run the game.
2) Try clicking on some of your ships. Sometimes a ship has movement left but the game engine is caught up in something else. If you can find the ship with movement left, and move it, it sometimes fixes it.

Personally, I always quick-save (ctrl+S) before I click the 'End Turn' button. For the few times it happens, it saves some hassle of figuring out what's wrong.

I'll have to try that the next time it happens. However, I can't seem to get it to happen again in order to get a debug.err.

Thanks for the help.
