Can't end turn, "Urgent affairs require your attention"

[Bungd-up]

Anyone else experiencing this bug and found a workaround? Unmodified save, and at a random point in the game I'll get the chat box logo on the End Turn button, but clicking it does nothing - there's no event tied to it. It won't go away, and reloading an older save doesn't help. The bug keeps showing up on the same turn, though the actual number of turns before it appears is random.

Right now I just had it happen in the Nomadic Era, which isn't a huge deal except that the map seed I got was looking like it was going to be a really nice game. But I've also had it appear in the Contemporary Era and the Medieval Era, and both of those games had to be axed as a result.

has happened now at least six times on brand new games after installing latest DLC, from turns 684 to on turn 45, really useless as cannot play on after this message. i have validated my files three times and it is downloading files but it is still happening. Just not good enough obviously a bug i have checked everything out nut it will not advance . I think this is the last straw for me with this game it is pathetic

Can confirm. Happened once so far, turn 349.

I seem to have found a workaround, but it's hardly acceptable, Amplitude needs to get their crap together.

I've been able to get rid of the bug by uninstalling the game and deleting everything except for the saved games folder in My Documents/Humankind, and then reinstalling fresh. Reloading my save, I've been able to play past the turn it previously showed up on, however I have no idea if it will reappear, so YMMV.

One thing's for damn sure, I'm not buying another Ampliturd product again until they start QAing their work before release.

Happen to me also every game I start now 6 times in a row in the nomadic era after 20-50 turns there is even one that can be displayed. I checked and now it happens in every single game I started.

Hey,
thanks for your reports. We're already working on a fix. Sadly, I don't have an estimate for when it'll be ready.
In the meantime, I have seen some players claim that saving and relaunching the game will fix it, but I don't know if that always works.

Sometimes it works, what I noticed is that the unit doesn't move so I have to find out which one is bugged and move it to a diagonal on the side to proceed with the next turn. I'll wait for them to fix it because there's no way to play when there are too many units on the map.

Yeah i have the same issue. And restart and reload the game doesnt fix it for me. I tried it now with 2 saves and i can not continue in turn 43 and in turn 49 in both saves because of that.

The fix for this "urgent affairs" issue should be fixed in the next patch to be released this week.

Thx for letting us know

Issue seems to crop up for me every time I approach the late early modern era for research. Has broken quite a few games at this point, will have to wait for the patch and see if that fixes it.

It will end turn eventually, but my experience is 4-5 minutes, some have reported 8 minutes. Hopefully fixed soon. I assume this bug never appeared when devs playtested, which is strange as it only affects certain rigs.

The "urgent affairs" bug should be fixed as of yesterday's update. Please make sure your game is up to date, and let us know if the problem persists on the new version.

I don't know if it's the same bug, but the one that cause extremely long end of turn and sluggish performance in general is not fixed. Note that running on lowest settings doesn't help much, if at all. I used to run on "beautiful" before dlc for reference.

We're working on that as well, but it's more tricky than the "urgent affairs" bug. We'll provide an update as soon as we can, and will possibly make it available as a beta first.

Ok, good luck. Looks like it may be a memory leak.
