Hotseat Freezes when Calculating turns on Hotseat

[Tambien]

So I'm trying to play a hotseat game with my little brother, but it keeps freezing when calculating the turns. We can still move around the screen and everything, but it stays stuck on "Player 7" or "Player 8" (an unmet AI) when trying to calculate the AI turns.


We have tried it on both DirectX 9 and DirectX 10/11, reloaded the save multiple times, and it always freezes on the same player on the same turn.


We are using Austria and the Iriquois.


We are playing on an HP Pavilion dv6.


This is getting very annoying. Does anyone have any idea why it is happening?

Steam and the game have been doing updates lately. Have you gone into steam and make sure that all the files have been successfully updated? Close everything down and reboot the computer and restart to a fresh session of windows?

I'm not sure how to check that files have been successfully updated, but yes, I attempted a restart and it did the same thing.

In the steam library, you right click on the game and choose properties at the bottom of the list.

The third tab (local files) the last choice (verify integrity of game cache).

It should say all files successfully updated or something similar. So you may have to do that a couple of times if it does download a file. If it says everything is ok and does not download any files, then a file could still be corrupted, and may have to be manually deleted. Not just removing the game through steam, but making sure the files are gone via the OS.

Other than that you can wait for someone with the same problem with more specifics.
