I'd hope so. I did mention that in addition to the unique ruins bug - but I also wouldn't be surprised if it was missed.

Thanks for the update. The upcoming patch looks like it's going to be a very good one!

Wow, those 2 seem to clear up just about everyone of the real bugs.

Except for the "End of turn processing bug". Is that one just listed somewhere else as its root cause?

The error when a new empire was made fvrom a revolt would do that. Hopefully that will solve most of the lock ups.
