Game keeps getting stuck (not freezing)
So, I have never experienced this before, I have started my first domination only game since BNW was released.. I am around turn 300 give or take a few and when I click next turn the game loads forever, it is getting stuck on Russia's moves. I can still move around the map and click things so I know it hasn't frozen, I'm worried I won't ever be able to continue this game, is there a way around this?

I am playing on a huge earth map, with 5 AI one of them is destroyed but the map is almost 100% covered by us all, I have quick combat turned on and quick movement, I'm not sure what more I can do to speed it up / get it moving again.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

its because the devs dont care about the players or fixing the bugs. All they care about is making DLCs. there are tons of bugs in multiplayer too. You already bought the game, they do not care about you.

but obviously save and reload

Hey, thanks for the reply, I had done that a few times, to no avail... I decided to just leave the game running while I done something else and after about 15 minutes it eventually got past Russia, now it seems to take Russia anywhere between 30 seconds and 15 minutes to take their turn... and I agree about the lack of bug fixing and the reasons why, it happens constantly now, I don't think I've played any game these days (even just single player) that doesnt have petty little issuses that dont get fixed.

Generally on the multiplayer my mates and I get by ok, as long as we have quick combat /move ticked on and wipe out any AI players fairly quickly haha

hey i have the same problem with multiplayer mode. My mates and i are stuck around turn 200 it's not frozen too the game is still running but we cant continue the game. Wtf is happening should we just leave the game and load another one?
I haven't had that in multiplayer tbh, so i'm not sure I can advise you on it, are you playing on a large sized map with a lot of players and AI in the game? When I play multiplayer when it gets later on it can go quite slow, what I have found is this;
1. Sometimes if it isn't doing anything it is getting ready to go to the loading screen, if this is the case its fine, it will load through and run fairly smoothly afterwards for a while.
2. turn combat and movement to quick mode (in the options) this can help speed the flow of the game up, for example if a human or AI moves 10 planes it doesnt take very long (plus it seems to help with slowing down)
3. Based on my experience with single player, I would say leave the game for 15 minutes, (keep it open though or it won't process anything) just chat away with skype, TS, vent, whatever you use, if then it still hasnt reacted then maybe start a new game and have fewer AI involved, maybe change the host player.
4. Makes sure that you click the waiting for player bar to see if it hasnt just glitched, sometimes a command can get stuck underneath it which stops you from progessing, look over your units, just check if any need to sleep

I know its all a pain, but if you can get through that one turn you should be ok!!
Good luck!!
