Windows 10 Home 64-bit running on an i5-8400.
Steam version of the base game plus Rise and Fall. No mods (ever).
DX11 selected in the launcher.

The game hangs on the in-between-turn, with the "other civs taking their turns" message displayed. No CTD, and I still have access to some of the menu buttons such as checking the Victory Conditions; but the IBT just doesn't end.

Any suggestions on what I should try? Select DX12? Uninstall, delete all folders and reinstall? Roll back to a previous version?
 
Tried switching to DX12 in the launcher, and the bug has not yet recurred.

EDIT: Oooops... now it CTDs instead of hanging. Not an improvement.

Did this start after the August patch? I've been having trouble with the game freezing between turns since that patch. I was using mods in my game at the time, thought it might be one of them, but I'm now playing a completely unmodded game, and it started again during the industrial age (standard map size).

Windows 10 home, DX11 (12 doesn't run on my old computer).

It seems to happen right around the time the barbs take their turn and wounded units heal (the little green numbers).

It doesn't happen every turn, maybe every 5 or so. But it's quite annoying. You either have to save the game every turn just before ending your turn (which takes quite a while for dinner reason), or risk having to play the entire turn again, as the crash seems to occur just before the autosave is created.
