Hey all,
I'm about 550 turns into a game and I ran into a brick wall.
Basically: nothing builds.
I've got an idle colony, so I tried to set it to "Research Priority", and clicked the little button - but nothing happens. Numbers don't change, the little O doesn't light up to indicate it has responded, nothing. I try to build a building and I double click it and nothing happens - a "ghost" image of the building appears on the map, but it doesn't appear in the build queue.
I then tried building components in a star base, but I double click on the component and it just greys out instead of going to the build queue.
I try pressing Esc to load/save a game, but the load and save buttons are greyed out. Holding my cursor over them it tells me to please wait until all invasions/movements etc have been completed.
Because I can't get this idle colony to do anything, I can't proceed in the game at all. I'm stuck, essentially.
I tried going into the C++ 64 section of the Galactic Civ 3 and re-running it, but that didn't stop anything.
I tried reloading 4 times through an autosave and but this limbo happens at the same point every time.
Any help at all?
