Starting tutorial infinite loading map and fix

[Whimpy]

When I start to load the first tutorial map I get stuck in the screen where it says something about roman bureaucracy taking time but then nothing happens. If I press '1' though it jumps to the next screen and I can get to the city map.

Very interesting. Thank you. I will go deeper in that issue.

Maybe it starts in 'Paused' mode?

I thought about that too. Perhaps it's going into pause mode due to some kind of error. Pressing the 1 key returns you to normal game speed. But I'll have to check that thoroughly.

thank you, could you fix it by pressing the 1 key? I'm working on a fix

Thank you Roger. In my opinion in this stage Id suggest to focus only on bug fixing, there will be time in the future to add more features to the game.

absolutely, the first weeks are only for bug fixing. No worry :)

So I've been trying to replicate the lockup today but I just can't do it. The map loads as it is supposed to. Maybe a reboot was needed after install?

I'm glad it worked. No clue at the moment why this happen

I am still having trouble loading maps in this game. I get to the screen where it says " I have misplaced the stylus. Please wait..." I can press P to pause and unpause the game, but nothing else I do helps to move the game forward to the city map; Pressing 1 doesn't help... I have also tried just leaving it to see if it will eventually load, I left it running for 3 hours and returned to it in the same place. Audio files seem to be playing fine on a loop

I never had this problem with the tutorial, and I have now reinstalled the game twice after following other troubleshooting steps.

I had similar problems. It takes too long to load all terrains and other assets. The problem doubles when you reload an unfinished city.
To shorten the time and make the process a bit more stable, I recommend pausing the game as soon as you see the "I have misplaced the stylus. Please wait" screen (when the loading screen is finished). This way, the game simulation will at least stop because I noticed that if you don't pause the game, the buildings that haven't been loaded yet are not added to the simulation, upsetting the whole numerical balance of the game simulation.

Ill try it out, thanks

I hope it works. I can open the game with this method. But it takes a lot of patience. Quite a lot...
The in-game performance is not bad at all. I can play it with almost no problems.
