Bug or User Error?

from Stardock Forums
I'm playing my first game of GalCiv, after installing the game and the latest patch (1.13 I presume). It's early in the game (June 2183) and the game seems partially frozen after I pressed the End Turn button. I can access everything, give orders to planets, ships, etc., but the game just won't advance, and the End Turn button is greyed out and "thinking".

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

Thanks in advance.

One additional note. I noticed that at the top of the options menu it reads "1.10", which is odd since I installed today's patch from the downloads.

Use Stardock Central to update. The downloads section of the website rarely has the latest version.

I have only seen this behavior when I repeatedly load the same save game without playing a turn in between -- some kind of memory leak. Definitely not common. If you can duplicate it, post to the bug thread.

I've found one solution to that though (at least I think so). I've countered this few times before...
Okay, now just what I do when it freezes after loading game many time, I'll open up one of my planet's control screen (you know, that where to build social and military things) and then press done to quit that screen. After quitting it seems to end that frozen turn and when you press turn next time, it'll be back in real-time. :)

EDIT: I don't know if this exists on 1.13, but surely on 1.10 at least.

Thanks for the suggestions. If Sergei's fix doesn't work, I'll try updating with Stardock and start a new game.
