Can't select Archeological Artifacts, game can't progress.

[Doctor Proteus]

I have dug up an artifact from an archeological site, but when it asks me to select the artiact, nothing happens, and I cannot progress.

Has anyone else had anything like this?

What exactly do you want a screenshot of? The archeology button?

[Exemplar]

save the game and try hitting shift+enter to end your turn.

It's a legit question, why would seeing the button help?

I will give it a try. Thank you for the suggestion. I looked in the key bindings list and I don't recall seeing an option to end the turn with a button press. The next action keybind didn't do anything.

I didn't say anything about your question, I asked about your attitude. You solicited help, and to the first post that arrives, you are aggressive. Why?

Do you think the request not making sense to you is justification?

You are the one who interperated it as rude, I was just asking a question, and now you're causing loads of uneccesary drama. Exemplar provided an actual suggestion.

My first thought was that you might have been a sadistic troll who just wanted to deride some kind of sick satisfaction from making people do pointless tasks, to waste their time. I'm not replying to this again so please don't drag this out any more.

I'm going to go try Exemplar's suggestion and I will reply to him with the results.

I asked for a screenshot. I said please. I was polite. A screenshot is a picture of the screen. Asking me why I want it, and then asking if want a screenshot of the button, that is condescending. Why would I want something I didn't ask for? But you reduced it to that. That was your point.

I technically didn't get to try your suggestions since when I loaded the save after closing the game, I just clicked on the artifact button and it went through normally this time. I thank you for offering assistance, however, and I will remember to try that command the next time the game decides to stall similarly in the future.

Sometimes asking for a screenshot is a good way to make sure that neither the person asking the question nor the person who would try to answer it is confused about the situation. This is important because if both people are not trying to solve the same problem then the solutions offered will be unhelpful, and everyone's time is wasted. Asking for more information when a question is asked should never be considered hostile, even if the information seems pointless from one's own perspective.

Lol drama OP

Hello my friends! It seems that I have the same problem. And, I have a screenshot :D (but it is not very useful: https://ibb.co/8jgF2zT)
My Hungaruian archeologist is on the cell where the ancient ruin was marked. I used his action, and the button for artifact selection appears, but I can't press it.
I tried to re-load game, it does not help.
I tried to press Shift+Enter. The next turn starts, so I can continue the gameplay, but artifact button still cannot be pressed.

I can use autosave (several turns ago) and continue play as usually, but without using archeologists...

P.S. This is lisenced Steam version.


UPD: It seems I have a decision! I just sent my archeologist to dig at another point, and another one, and another... One of this point was not bugged XD

First question should always be..are you using mods?

[Cardinal Grey]

I have AI+ mod, "More lenses" and "Cheat map editor" (but not used its functions). The "Cheat map editor" is the most suspicious in this list, of course.
And, I created this map in the map editor.
