Ending a turn stuck on "PLEASE WAIT"

[mattavich]

I've cleared the cache, deleted the moduser folder and started a new map but I keep getting this problem.

In my current game i'm playing Napoleon, I'm 22 turns in to the game and when I clicked "End turn", the button is stuck on "PLEASE WAIT" and nothing happens.

Any ideas? I love this mod but I can't play at the moment.

I believe the problem could have something to do with my workers. In both games that it happened, my worker was trying to place a camp on a furs tile with forest.

The only way to fix ti was to quicksave and reload from the main menu. However after each time I needed to tell my worker to place a camp and it would happen again. The last time, I ordered my worker to sleep and there was no problem. I eventually managed to place the camp on the tile about 5 turns later.

I've no idea what the problem is now. It keeps happening every few turns.

I've tried with quick combat on and off. I have no other mods installed.

Can one of the devs help? I love the mod so far but I can't play.

Well, annoyingly I found out what the problem was, however it is not entirely my fault

I turned unit cycling off.

However! For some reason I seem to have to tell my worker to continue building an improvement every turn. So every turn i'm continually telling my worker "build farm, build farm, build farm" and eventually it will be finished.

Any idea why?

If the worker detects a threat nearby like barbarians, it cancels its actions at the end of the turn and requests new orders. Were there any enemies near?

I just loaded up the mod and I'm getting this. Its the same problem they had to hot fix in the game a month or so ago were if a unit has movement left at the end of the turn it gets stuck on the "Please Wait" button. Auto unit cycle should get round this but I hate auto unit cycle!

Have you tried clicking the button? The code which handles turn progression is mostly in the game core only Firaxis has access to, so any bugs there I'm unable to fix.

I have noticed that when it does this a unit still has some movement left.

Hi guys, even if the button is stuck on "Please Wait", you can still press Enter on your keyboard to End the turn

This happens to me all of the time. Yes it just means you have a unit somewhere that needs orders. It's strange but helpful if you forget someone. Usually you can just click on the units control panel in the bottom left hand corner.

Fix is easy. Just make sure that when you give a unit orders, that it will take an exact number of turns. If you move 10 hexes and it wil take you 3 turns to get there, or if you move 12 hexes and it will still take 3 turns to get there either move the 12 hexes or pull your movement back to the closest you an get to that tile in 2 moves.

Takes a bit of getting used to. But it works. It also helps in the fact that I find that if I cut back on the longer movements that I blunder into Barbs and Enemy Civs less.

Also if you have say a ship that gets stuck only one movement point into a move, the game will only allow you to re-move it once. So even if you have 5 tiles left to go if you click three tiles away it will end that units movement at that spot. Forfieting the extra two tiles movement.

I think you can just press C to center on the unit that makes the turn "hang". Then just press space or whatever to cancel the moves.
