Default Re: An odd and unusual glitch

I have had this problem as well. The game killers for me are when the armies become so large that the double click type selection begins to falter & the nation overview screen begins to drag horribly near the end of the list. I usually just quit and start another game.

Not sure if it is a memory issue, or a bottleneck in the game engine?

Please check using your corrupted game:

- does left-click-and-drag of the map work ?

- does shift-clicking work?

- does any shift-key command or typing (names, messages!) work?

- does the numpad work?


If not, I guess it's in fact a problem that can hit you right from turn 1.
Sadly, it's fairly intermittent and non-reproducable, at least up to now.
If it happens regularly with your savegame, please zip up the savegame folder (don't forget any mods or non-standard maps you might have used) and post & attach it in the bug thread !

Thanks!
