Game still running but everything freezing
having an issue with the update think i saw other people were as well where the game stops doing anything at the galactic screen. had it happen with the NR and then the Hand. Just moved a stack of ground forces to from on planet to another they moved for a second and while still in transit the game stopped but could still hear music. Tried to exit with the task manager and all i get was a white background with the windows task bar but cannot get the task manager to show up and also unable to close the game from the task bar. Have to fully restart my computer to be able to do anything after that happens. froze in week 9 so very early in game dont know if i clicked on anything else when this happened just hopping its a stability issue that can be fixed and ill be able to play soon. Just leaving this here as a bug issue.

Exact same issue for me - I thought it was only for the Empire, seems like it's not just them. What GC was this? For me it was on Art of War, era 1.

More or less the same thing has happened to me, playing as the New Republic in the Art of War campaign, Era 1.

Early in the campaign (week 9-10 i think) the game started to hard freeze (with the music still playing) in the galactic map. I loaded a little beforehand, and managed to play a little bit further (i think up until week 11), but now, every time i try to load that save it loads directly into the hard freeze with music in the back.

If i have to make a guess, i would say that there is some king of script failure in the event system for era 1, that triggers around the end of week 9-10-11, perhaps related to certain warlords or characters being killed?

I'll try different campaigns and eras to see if the problem persists in them.

Still on art of war, the freeze happened to me even though I started in era 2 - but I agree that something with the era change script is weird since starting in era 2 I got the "welcome to my era" messages from first Thrawn and then Isard, one after the other, and then the freeze hit in week 7.

It's likely there's a for loop somewhere that's not exiting, we're trying to find where that might be.

Doctor Ubarian, can you post that save file?
#8
Doctor Uburian May 5, 2020 @ 10:23am 
I'm afraid i don't have that file anymore :(

I tend to erase and re-save with the same name to avoid save file corruption, and this morning i started a new campaign and replaced the old saves with the new ones (NR1...NR5) I'm sorry, i didn't think that the file was important at the time.

Right now i'm playing as the New Republic and i have started in era 2 (art of war). I'm in week 10 with no crashes so far, but if it does crash i'll post the file.

No worries, thanks.

We're pushing a change now to test a potential fix. It seems like it may be something weird with the Academy, so we're disabling that for now. It'll still be there on fsaves that have it, but won't be buildable anymore. We're gonna keep testing and keeping an eye on it to see if that's not what's happening, which is entirely possible. It's a hard one to track since it doesn't seem to be consistent.

Thanks Corey. It happened three times to me each at week 7 in era 1 of AOW while playing as the NR and each time the galactic logs were different. I skipped to era 2 and have made it into week 30 with no issues.

I've actually had this problem as well on both Thrawn's Revenge and Fall of the Republic. It freezes and forces me to restart my entire computer. I can't figure out a pattern to it or anything sometimes it even freezes while it's paused. I love these mods though and you guys are awesome at what you do so I'm content to just play other games/mods until the problem is identified

Just to add, it sounds like the same issue I had once in the last release, 2.3.5 as the Pentastar Alignment. The only fix for me was reloading a prior save and had to catch back up to where I was. The issue did not happen again afterwards. That also seems to show it is inconsistent, as Corey stated. If it would help, I might still have that frozen save file.

Hey, just wanted to chime in that the freeze kicked in for me in very similar conditions several times in a row. (Don't have a save file, happened before I could save, sorry)

1.) Start Art of War as Empire, era 1
2.) Consolidate all Imperial fleets on one planet - Kuat/Coruscant, typically
3.) Manually advance to Isard's era
4.) Combine megafleet + heroes together
5.) At some point a small text box in the bottom left corner should show up that just says "MISSING" and then disappears
6.) Next time you move your fleet, the freeze happens!

Happened to me twice in a row now - only difference to these steps is I rampaged around the Eriadu Authority for a bit and killed Delvardus the second time round before advancing eras.
