Thank you guys. Your advise has helped me resolve the issue.
First, I'd like to confirm that both 3.10 and 3.14 have caused the infinite loop with LA Pythium.
Second, trying to delete the game folder (so that hopefully the game will create and the turns right) still results in the loop.
The procedure that has helped me get past the issue is indeed changing the names of both .trn and .2h files to pythium to late_pythium.
Again, Thank you guys!
