Default Re: Game Freeze

It may be that whatever is causing the RCE is when a ship of Player 5's executes an order it received on a previous turn. In this case, setting Player 5 to "human" will let you see what ship is causing the problem, but not change its orders before it does it. To do that, you have to go back to a saved game from the PREVIOUS turn. If you set the game up to auto save every turn, you will have this option. Otherwise, if you don't have a saved game from some earlier turn you may be out of luck.

All RCE's are not caused by "bugs" which MM can fix. Sometimes it is cause by something we modders do.

I'm not getting a RCE, the game would just freeze while computing player 5's turn. I finally got around it by taking over player 5 and hitting end-turn. However the problem returned whenever I reverted player 5 back to computer controlled. Any word on the release date of the next patch?

Hota, mail the savegame to MM and tell them about the error. As it's recurring Aron can probably find it and hopefully fix it.
