Hi!

Can you find your save game in Documents\My Games\Order of Battle - WW2\SaveGames and upload it here? We can then take a look and find the issue?

Thanks,

Well, the extension saz is not allowed to be attached...

So how do I attach save-file if its not allowed?

Can you put it into a zip file?

Rar?

Will the rar-file work?

yep, that's fine!

The AI ran through it's turn for me. It took a little while to get through the initial thinking. Your mines over on the left have caused the AI quite a bit of confusion I think I had a look at what they were doing and they're trying to get Engineers there, but struggling a bit

Now that you've achieved the secondary objective, you may want to consider deleting those mines if you still can't get the AI turns to go through (but be prepared for incoming forces!)

I've attached the autosave from the start of the next turn, you're only real damage was 5 HP loss to a bunker on the right flank.

Ok, thx. Well it was stuck thinking for atleast 30-40 min.

Interesting. I have the exact same issue with a similar point in the same scenario. The UI doesn't freeze: the unit animations continue, the map will scroll, and the options button will respond (until a save is tried). The AI just sits there thinking. I let it think all night, but no change in the morning, so I crashed out.

I have a clean build of 5.2.3 x64 on a modest Win7 box. I could not find <game root>\Order of Battle - WW2_Data\output_log.txt. The DOS attrib command shows no hidden or system files in that folder.

I do have a save file from the scenario deployment phase, and a [Winter War] Auto Save (Turn End).saz , but I have not restarted the game and reloaded either file yet. My franchise enthusiasm ebbed and the tide hasn't come back in yet...

I just bought the DLC and I am having a problem with LONGER AI thinking, in the first battle of the DLC I notice the AI is taking longer on thinking than in Burma, Pacific, and Rising sun. I am a little worried there may be an issue. I have a Win 32 bit system because of my older games I play. But its a nice system and has no issues on the other DLCs.

BTW, to the ones having AI lockup, I had this happen once in my Burma campaign, I just restarted the battle and it didn't do it again. I think its a random AI hang on what choice to make. But Panzerkrieg does seem to have AI thinking time issues atleast on the first map, I haven't even got to the others.

It may be that Panzerkrieg scenarios in general are larger (map and number of units). That may cause the AI to use longer time.

I'm having the sake issue on PS5.
Winter War DLC.
Battle after Stalingrad.
I'm on Turn 2 and the Axis forces have been in thinking mode for 35 mins now......

The Red Bar is full and they're still thinking.

Maybe you could try save and reload ?
