[BUG] Cant save game and end turn.

Hi. In the middle of the third campaign mission i've noticed that the end turn button stays greyed-out until i click through all the notifications, several turns later it stayed greyed-out even after that. I thought that saving the game and loading it might fix it but the save game button was greyed-out too. :shock:

I'm attaching my last save. After loading it i'm able to end turn & save game but on the next turn the save game button becomes greyed-out as before. Also saving on the same turn, while the save game button still works, produces another king of bugged same that makes the game freeze when i'm trying to load it. :shock:

Reproduces every time on my machine. I'm on win7 x64, steam, game version 1.00.01 if that matters.

Will have to restart the mission i guess.

Hi there...almost the same here...

I just loaded my campaign game (Turn 245) and I pressed end turn. After that I am not able to press End Turn anymore. Nothing happens, when I press the button! So I loaded an older savegame (Turn 231) and the same problem! I can press the end turn button one time and after that, nothing happens! Any ideas how to fix this?
REPLY

Edit: Added the two savegames

I've restarted the mission and had the same bug happen again. Looks like the only way to play right now is not to use any saves at all, except for the automatic ones before the start of the mission(these work fine so far). :(

What I found in your save game is that some how, your colony of Nini II had an empty build project and that was causing an error to fire when processing the turn, which ended up disabling the end turn button.
I think I've fixed it, but I'd like to test it with your exact setup, in order to be sure. Thus can you please zip the files under /Data and send it over?
To get there: right click on the game in your steam, go to properties, local files and browse local files.

Also the autosave feature is coming in the 02 update, which should be with you guys tomorrow and will help with these kind of bugs.

No need Doc, it's the same bug.

Ok, it's fixed. It doesn't fire with your setup. I'll make sure to include the fix with the 03 update ASAP.
Meanwhile the new autosave feature in 02, will hopefully help you guys avoid this issue.

I've managed to finish the a the third missions without loading a save but was stuck on the next one. The game crashed and the now it freezes while trying to load the autosave, as before. :(

Uploading the latest autosave and game data folder just in case (since in steam update it was said that this bug is specific to 3rd campaign mission which doesn't seem to be the case).

Also if you manage to load this save, in one of the colonies i've capured the pops are invisible so i cant reassign them between production, research, economy etc, but they produce resources normally otherwise.

Latest update (1.00.03) did nothing for me. Stil I can not press end turn! Would be nice, if you would fix it, cause I can not play the game!

Hi Doc. Sorry you still are facing issues. It might be due to an unrelated problem, which was not known and thus not fixed in the last version.

To be sure can you please upload your Data folder, like Berserker did previously? Also the /Profiles folder in your /My Games/Astra Exodus path would help a lot. The idea is to recreate your exact setup, when loading the "PushedThrough" savegame.

When I load the file save it loads fine, even without your profile file, so it's puzzling to say the least why you are having problems. Hopefully with that extra info and files, we can get to the root of the problem.

I can make this happen in 03 with my save game when I try to split a fleet in hyperspace to two systems. Game soft locks and you cannot press next turn. Even after reselecting all the ships and sending them to one system, the next turn button is unresponsive. When you split fleets mid move there are no lines of travel for the fleet(s) at that point and the game locks the button up. You can still open other panels and do things. You just can move to the next turn.

Thanks Doc. I was finally able to debug this one and it is not a save game bug, it is related to the victory conditions, more specifically the pirate fleet. It failed to register the destruction of the pirate fleet, probably because another bug or perhaps due to the fact that the save was done the very same turn, the fleet was destroyed. Regardless of the case, I have fixed it. It will go live with 04 as soon as possible.

Hey doc. I am sorry you got affected with this bug, on top of it all it was on your first mission. We are doing all we can to get it asap. I will be submitting the new version this weekend and the production team will process it on Monday, so I hope that by Tuesday you guys will have it ready. Again, sorry for the delay with this. In the meantime you can play some sandbox games or attempt first the mission again, with a different profile.
