I have been playing a game for the last 6+ hrs. I have had 3 Freezes/Slowdown's.
It happens everytime once I hit the end turn, it involves my ships auto moving and collecting anomolies/settling worlds all in this turn. If I get to many pop ups one after the other due to this activity and do not deal with them as they appear the game will freeze/slow down, by this I mean even though the game apears to freeze it does not. If I mash the Enter key to auto select/close pop ups they will disapear 1 by 1, however, it takes around 45-60s for each one to close. After dealign with these the game is really really slow to respond, so much so its easier to just Alt+F4(which will take 45+ seconds to work) and reload a save.
I took a screenie during the last freeze/slowdown. No ticket sorry(unless you specificly ask for one), using Mods
Edit:
Gigantic Map, 8 AI, Abundant everything apart from Extreme Planets which is Common. No Minors.
I also noticed the new turn counter bottom right by the Turn button disapear's on the odd occasion. Dunno if that is linked or not.
Same behavior described on my post. No mods on mine but a custom map and custom races.
Did not see your post, or I would have just posted there
Same here and am using Vanilla.
Also verified all files.
The only thing left is to re-download the game.
All started with 1.8
I have only just reinstalled the game (Moved it to an SSD) so I am affraid that wont help.
Reinstalling does not help, nor does putting it on an SSD. My system is fairly powerful with a core7 3930K 32 GB RAM GTX980TI and all SSD and none of it helps. Originally I thought it was your mod for the colonization events that made the game act as it did, seemed like it happened every time I was colonizing a new world. I restarted the game with mods disabled but the behavior returned so it is definitely not the mod it is inherent to the 1.8 update. I tried everything including running a vanilla game but after a couple hundred turns the behavior always returns, game slows to a crawl and finally hangs.
Does the slow down continue to happen if you reload the game from a save?
Yes, a ticket would be helpful

Nope a save reload fixes it. Also not going AFK during AI turns so you can address any messages that pop up from ships on auto move will prevent it. Atleast for me its only ever happend while I was AFK.
I have saves from the game at various points. I can submit them with a ticket. (I am using Mods though, fair warning)
Ticket sent with all available saves from current game (I am still playing btw):- #GEU-791-57907
A bit more info.
After all the AI have had thier turn there is a small "pause" before the game is turned back over to the player. If there are pop ups present during this "pause" I do believe this is what causes the freeze/slowdowns. More an observation than fact me thinks
After version 1.8, the game became extremely slow and locked in continuous freezing
