[1.0.0.317] Continuous PLEASE WAIT after AI declares joint war

[TooMuchSpareTime]

Having loaded the attached single player game save file, after the second click of the Next Turn button, I, playing England and allied with Brazil and Scythia, receive a joint declaration of war from France and Norway. In the UI the sequence is that Norway's bombard and two infantries move against Liverpool and Sheffield. Then the video of Catherine de Medici declaring war plays (while Norway's turn indicator is down). Norway's turn indicator then rises and lowers again but after that the PLEASE WAIT spinning globe runs continuously and CPU runs at around 30% (on a quad core system). The longest I've waited for a change before giving up is five and a half hours. There is no playing of Norway's declaration of war video.

I suspect that the problem may be to do with Scythia being allied with all four of England/Brazil (defenders) and France/Norway (attackers). Once in the forever spinning PLEASE WAIT state you can see that Brazil is updated to show it is now at war with France & Norway but Scythia isn't updated. The AI may be looping, trying to work out which side Scythia is on.

I'm having the same issue. Phillip II's turn....it appears he has jointly declared war against me (Peter already did), but I never see him pop up and say it. 'Please Wait' it's Phillip II's turn forever. file attached. Admittedly, I need more RAM or a newer computer. Vanilla version from Epic. Learning the game.
