Late Game Idle Ship Error

Not exaplained in manual

September 6, 2015 11:22:47 AM from Galactic Civilizations III ForumsGalactic Civilizations III Forums

Once again I am in the late game phase of Gal Civ 3. This time the "idle ship" appears on the screen but is grayed out. Upon checking all of my many ships none of them are idle. Nothing I do moves the game forward. I have to exit and restart the game. This has happened three times in this one game. I love this game, but you need to fix this obvious error.

I would like to amend my post. It seems that this greyed out "idle ship" message appears no matter what I do so a game that had over 1000 turns is at an end, period. This is very frustrating and does not encourage me to play again fearing the same outcome.

I too lost a game that way hundreds of turns in. The game started with 1.2, the bug occured with 1.3 opt-in (no, opting out didn't help).

I checked all the ships like the forum threads regarding this bug suggested, but no luck. I also declared war on everybody - I saw my ships move and the AIs attacked my fleets ... but at some point the turn still got stuck. So I suspect an AI ship is the cause.

Correction, it probably is a little different. I found this thread, which describes the same behaviour I have: https://forums.galciv3.com/471191/page/1/#3586984

I read the links you gave me. It appears that others have this same problem. I actually thought someone involved with the program would respond but no lick. This looks like an error to me.

Thanks for reporting. Do you have a save game you can submit with this happening?

Can you try again in the patch we released today?  We fixed several stuck turn issues
