Cannot get past the first turn in multiplayer CoOp

from GalCiv3 Forums

So I have been playing this game for a bit with some friend never had an issue like this where we get into the game and I (as the host) can take my first turn, but when I go to the next player it stops and says "wait." We have tried reinstalling, deleting all our workshop content/custom civs, all sizes of maps, changing who hosts the game, making the galactic civ folders an exception in our anti-virus software. nothing seems to be working. the strange thing is that, this issue only occurs with this one friend. I can play just fine will other friends. If anyone has a similar issue or knows a fix it would be appreciated.

Did you put the AI on teams?

I've experienced the same thing,  where you can't take even the first turn if you have teamed AIs -- maybe some pathfinding issue when the AI has disjoint FOW reveals (from the teamed sight).

I love GalCiv but the testing and support is feeling pretty haphazard right now.  I suspect a lot of Stardock's staff are still focused on Star Control.

It sounds like one of you has an extra ship in the steam directory (maybe from a mod).  Uninstalling the game won't remove it.  I would suggest uninstalling, then manually deleting the install directory, and then trying again.
