My version literally only says 0.70  = /  hmm  Maybe I need to log out and let it update.  Only mentioning that because I noticed someone else mention a 0.70.5.0 in their version.

Same with mine, and it only went up to 0.70 two days ago. So where are people getting these other version numbers? Could they be mods? I am sure the devs don't want to be debugging mods at this point in the Beta.

Turn hang bugs here; both of them were I believe in the 100s.  The (Turn) button grays into (Wait) and the game is otherwise just like I'd never pressed it.  I can control my units, change production queues, etc.

Edit: I noticed we have a tilde console input and I'd really like to try a command that forces the AI to cycle a turn.  It seems to me (perhaps due to a lack of pausing or jittering) that the game isn't trying to cycle the turn - that the dysfunction is actually with the (Turn) button.  Just an observation of course, not a critical analysis. 

If you right click the GalCiv3.exe select properties and select the details tab you can see the exact version number. I hope that helps

Mine is 0.70.5.0.  To ammend my earlier post: I suspect rather that there's a trip in the code that handles unresolved / incomplete actions from units the player controls.  In both my hang-turn saves, I've noticed there was a remaining fleet or ship movement that had to be commanded.  Obviously this doesn't always cause a hang, however, because I've seen the (Turn) button reappear before after I've assigned post-(Turn) commands during that check.

Thank you Island Dog and Raynman.  0.70.5 Confirmed! Finally makes sense, = )  You can understand why that last .5 can be a bit confusing and critical when it comes to beta testing!

Anyhow, appreciate the help.  Has anyone on the client side, been able to come up with reliable methods to get around the hangs?  I understand Stardock is probably working furiously on this, but anything we can do to help them out and help out our less-patient testers out there can only benefit us all.  

Island Dog or Raynman, do you need anymore saves attached to my support ticket I submitted?  I can probably continue to create one for each race and so forth, though it does seem to be recreatable, across multiple platforms and specs.  

400's on what size of map and how many AI ayork1?  I suppose their difficulty may be in important as well.  I don't think system specs are relevant here because for me my game would never come close to filling 32 GB of RAM.  I'm also not CTD'ing until I attempt to load the game after saving it while it's at the "Wait" hang moment.  Any saves prior to that turn will always lead to an eventual "Wait" again, but never CTD, unless I load that specific turns save.

I got it on turn 223, immense, all races, normal difficulty. I was playing Tor.

I think they're good now.  They have a Beta 4 Patch 1 which is unreleased mentioned a hang fix.  

*fingers crossed*

That said, definitely keep the DMP files in the folder just in case right? = )

The Beta 4 Patch 1 at this time is Opt-In but there are some hang/crash fixes as mentioned above.

Trion3,

Is this still happening for your with new games started with the beta 4 opt-in patch 1?

 I would say then if you're still having the issue with new games created with version 0.71.1 create a new support ticket/support tool or add to an existing ticket of yours and note still happening in version [0.71.1].
