Game freeze

June 11, 2023 1:52:25 PM from Galactic Civilizations IV ForumsGalactic Civilizations IV Forums

This has been an issue for years. Several times i experience that the game freezes when it's other civilizations turn. It just stops moving. I can press esc and exit the game or enter menus, but the game just stops. I have let it sit for almost an hour to see if it would continue, but no... The only thing I can do to not lose any progress is to save every time I do something in the game and that get VERY old really fast.

Jonny B - Yes, this bug keeps cropping up in almost every release.  They're working on this one now.  They say it's usually something like another Civ getting hung up trying to eject a ship from a shipyard.  What I do is set AutoSave to min every 2 turns (Options-GamePlay).

If you have a game save from before the hang up they'd love to have it.

Hello! We believe this issue to be resolved in the latest insider build yesterday, can you confirm? If not, like Scifi said we'd appreciate a save file via dropbox link

I just had to restart the game for this very issue. I don't use dropbox though. Is there any other way to send it?

If you have discord, you can DM me the save directly from there as well

Seiko75 - Just to let you know Dropbox and Discord are both free for the basic version.  They're very good apps (nothing is 100% guaranteed safe in life, so always use protection  ) used by a lot of people on this forum.  Dropbox is a great utility for securely sharing files - the person your sharing with has no access to your computer.  Discord is a hosting site and is used by Stardock for all its newer games, it's a lot busier than the normal forum.
