Endless PLEASE WAIT

[erhaminus]

I was playing and enjoying disappearing empire of Monty and Alex [I am a very peaceful man] while I stuck by "Please Wait (The game is waiting for other human players to finish their turn.)" button. Until that time I had been waiting several seconds per AI turns.

I have no idea what had happened. Pressing Shift+Enter helps a bit but it is annoying. Reloading last save does not solve the problem. What is the problem? Corrupted game/savefile?

Thanks in advance for your help.

-- EDIT

Shift+Enter does not help any more.

Could you please post your save file?

Thanks!

I have the same issue.

Here's my file. I got this problem with every game I play since the game updated itself. Anyone else got this problem ??

I have the same problem. Tried to load a Russian saved game (single player) and got the "waiting for human player" right away. Decided to download the Korean Civ, started a new game, and hit the same bug after ~40 turns.

Pain in the ass Steam, why can't they ask before patching? At least I could have finished my saved game before upgrading.

I've loaded this save, and cannot get the hang to occur. I do see that there is an improper message saying "please wait" rather than "unit needs orders", but the correct unit is selected. When you load this save, are no units selected?

I have the same problem in my current game that I started pre-patch. It stalled on Please Wait after playing about 10-12 turns after patching today. I also noticed it seemed laggier than usual in between turns before the hang up.

If you have a save that reproduces the hang, please upload it. It will assist us in pinning down the problem. Thanks!

I have had the same problem. It's the Auto-Cycle Units option. I had it turned off and was getting stuck between every other turn. I turned the feature back on and have not had a problem since.

*Edit* Spoke too soon. Still having the problem.

I also have the same problem since the patch. I found out it relates to workers. It seems they do not finish their turn. You have to manually search which workers are still active and then manually finish their orders. It is a pain, but at least it keeps the game moving.

Nice catch! This worked for me too.

Thank you all for response. In fact you're right, I also noticed that workers were the problem. I turned on "Auto unit cycle" for a while (I turn it off because I don't like this feature) and I found units causing troubles. The game is going on.

Damn, kudos for this! Was working my way through a modded map and I thought it was something in the mod.. I would have spent all night rebuilding it..

 

[stivomali]

Thanks everybody! Now I can finish up my saved game and start a fresh one for the weekend.

Workers can't be the problem.

I'm getting this bug as well but I have no workers yet. In this case it is a scout.

I have a save that reproduces the bug. I'm running several UI mods but I also had this happen in a non modded save as well (didn't replicate the error on reloading.

I really don't want to put auto unit cycling back on as I hate it.

 

[dshirk]

We have this fixed and will update it as soon as we can get it through QA. I'll post the LUA file here as well.

 

[grandad1982]

Thanks Dennis! I great to see you here and letting us know whats going on.

For what it's worth, I have had this problem to and wondered why "human players" suddenly appeared in my game! Happy to see that this is being addressed.

Came across this myself; For me, it was to do with units still having moves left, but the game not pointing out which one. I'd find which one it was, action as required and the game finished the turn.

Will be extremely annoying when there's lots of possible units to sift through :-S
