Hi, I'm not sure if this is mentioned in the patch notes.

LA pythium now has its proper file name. I don't think this affects ongoing games, but it will probably make the llamaserver unsure about what to send.
This is what Kristoffer said, so its the changed file name thats causing the problem, just like Micah said.

Yes. I had to manually change the names of the files once to "late_pythium". That appears to have solved the problem.

Ok, so what's the solution?

Edit: What file? Is on the server, client, or both?

Thanks!

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!

Hmm, didn't work for me. Does something need to be changed on the server as well?

I'm not sure about change to the server, well except going back to 3.10.

What nation are you playing and what was the change you've made to the file names?

Only Pythium. The patch changed the file names from "pythium.2h" and "pythium.trn" to "late_pythium.2h" and "late_pythium.trn". However, it did not bother to actually change the names of the existing files. It just staled Pythium and made a .trn file with the new name. So, I manually changed the .2h file before hosting so that Pythium would not stale. All has been fine since.
