[Bug] endless loading time after i hit next turn -no crash

[tesb]

Hello,

I am new here so please forgive me if this thread is not in the appropiate section, please move it, if it is wrong here.
First i want to say that this mod is incredible fun and I had no troubles so far.

Now to my problem:
This bug had occured twice now (in a lot of games). After i press the end turn button the game simply would not finish the ai phase, i can still scroll around, use the menues (like civics or research ect.), the music plays just fine so it is not really a crash.
Both times this bug occured after the game went on for a while, but on the other hand i used to finished one huge game without it occuring.

I am using windows 7, i have patched the game and i am using the latest version of the mod (patch j).
edit: i am using the german version of the game.
I put the savegame in the attachment please help (a savegame with the next turn would suffice).

with regards,
tesb.

This happened to me too, not long ago. I posted a save in the bug thread, and Bruenor took a quick look, but couldn't pin down the cause. It happened again in a later game, but I don't think I kept that save.

Hopefully this will be fixed by one bugfix or another in the next patch, if they can't find it from the saves.

This used to happen to me every game, but after a patch about a year ago it stopped, and hasnt happened since. I dont know what to tell you

Tesb,

I generally don't fix games on huge maps, it is just too hard. However, I took a quick look here.

I have a new rule - I DON'T FIX GAMES WHICH USE NEW RANDOM SEED ON RELOAD!! This option makes finding and eliminating the error very hard.

The bug is being caused by the Infernals somehow - if you eliminate them, the game can proceed. Depending on what happens during the turn, eliminating different infernal units/squares fixes it - but completely eliminating them stops all bugs apparently.

If you want me to do this for you (which is a fairly large change to the game, but you have this one won anyway) let me know and I'll send you a fixed file.

Best wishes,

Breunor

Hello Breunor,

many thanks for your help. I allready started a new game since i now use wildmana. I was more concerned that this was an error on my end.

I hope you guys can find the source of the problem in a future patch. Again many thanks for the offered help.

with regards,
tesb.
