Civ freezes during computer move

[hgf1683]

Hey everybody,

as already written in the headline, my civ freezes during the computer move. Animation is still on and i get a grey rectangle in the left bottom corner. I have often got this failure in late games (> 2100 AD) but recently I get it also earlier.

My civ version is 475.01 english and I use dosbox 0.74 for playing civ.

I upload the game. The failure occurs at the end of the round when I put the active artillery to sentry.

I hope you can help me.

Working on it...

There is a unit stack corruption for the Egyptians (this has been seen before and usually happens when AI starts to have many many units).

You can fix it with JCivED:
1. Download and install JCivED
2. Launch JCivED
3. Open your savegame in JCivED
4. Do "Gamesave... -> Detect unit stack errors"
5. When the pop-up asks you if you want to fix them, say "Yes"
6. Save back your gamesave
7. Play CIV

I tested it and it fixes your issue perfectly.

If you have anymore issue, please let know.

Thanks for your help.

I'm going to try it, when I'm back home.

Hm, unfortunately that didn't work for me.

I've done what you told me but the check for unit stack errors brought no results.

A few questions:

How long does this check take? Maybe I'm not patient enough but I let it run for several minutes.

Is there any sign that the check is running?

Is there anything else I've to do before starting the check?

Do I have to use the .map or the .sve for this?


Thanks for your help in advance.

Silly me

When verifying your file in JCivED, I actually found a bug, which I fixed on the fly in my local copy - but didn't publish!

My mistake. I will give you a fixed copy of your savegame a little later, as I don't think I will be able to release a corrected version of JCivED very soon.

 

[hgf1683]

No problem. Take your time.

I thank you very much for doing this for me.

Works fine. Many thanks to you.
