The problem mentioned in the subject happens in the second scenario of the US Pacific Campaign, War Plan Orange.

The version of the game is 5.2.0 and I don't know if I'm playing 64-bit or 32-bit; regardless, the same thing happens (I've launched the game from both.exes.).
What happens is that no matter how I play, after its last move, the AI (if it can be called that...) never finishes its turn, thereby making it impossible to continue the scenario.
All the necessary files are included in the .rar file (I'm sure you can handle it even if it's not a .zip).

Also please refrain from "useful solutions" such as updating drivers, re-installing steam or installing a newer Windows: everything runs just fine with any other game I've played and I have no problems whatsoever on my PC, not even a single crash, game-related or otherwise. The problem is in the game, not in my system.

sorry for the late replay, thought i did this yesterday tbh, but seem i missed it, my bad

can't say i can find anything to suggest tbh as it all looks fine to me also, so unless the developers can replicate the error from your save and give a suggestion, all i can say is put this battle on hold for now and move on, or if you have the save from the start of the turn, replay it, yes i know it's a pain and see if it happens again, as some with errors with a given save, once tried again can't duplicate the same moves and errors second time around, but if you wish to wait for the developers etc, they will reply, but are busy atm on a patch and fix for the latest version that will be released asap, so sorry again for the delay and your issues.

while your waiting, it may be an idea for you to check, if you haven't looked already at your firewall and antivirus logs etc, just in case one or another has anything in the logs regarding the game, as it does happen, rare, but worth a 5 second look imo,...

do you run the game as right click run as admin? from a administrators account? tried and does it make it any better, or the same? ,...

default or none default install location?

just more information for the developers tbh to make a correct call etc,. thanks

Replayed it three times, doing different stuff (moves, different units, different options after Pearl Harbor, starting from scratch or from different saves), on turn 9 same thing happens after the AI has done all its moves. Frustration piling on top of a frustrating game, one might say .

Nothing in Kaspersky or Windows logs, already checked.

I run the game on my personal computer, so yeah, guess I'm as admin as it gets . It's the Steam version and it's in its default directory. Tutorial went smoothly, but that happened before the last patch. And as a side note, I'm playing Panzer Corps (not a single problem ever), so yea, I've moved on already. But if this problem isn't solved, I will consider a refund because the way I see it right now, I've payed for something that is unplayable.

Have you tried the auto-update to 5.2.2?

dupe posts so removed

If it's auto-update, I can't try it, the game does it all by itself .

Anyway, after reading your post I looked for the patch. Of course, it was nowhere to be found, but upon starting the game today, it auto-updated and promptly freeze-crashed with an error message. Had to force shut it, then restarted it and lo and behold: not only was the update correctly installed, it even solved the problem and I could complete the damn scenario .

Well, problem painfully solved but solved it was, so thanks to whoever did it. And thank you to the people who offered advice here.

As a side note to the devs though, could you maybe make this a bit more user-friendly, at least in terms of support if not in terms of gameplay?

agreed, this all needs to be more user friendly, but it's a hotfix and not a patch as normally would be done etc

but glad your sorted and sorry for the delay and issues from the start, so at least now you can move on and enjoy, and win hopefully
