Disappearing Turn Button

Are you running the latest version?

You may also try saving and reloading the game to see if that shakes the button loose.

In in turn have my Turn button 99% of the time green. Get this, I launch ships from orbit , I have ships in space with all movement points left and the Turn button is still green

Latest version here, even did a fresh install of GC2 to fix this, no help.

Green turn button is not the same as a disappearing turn button.

Hey Kryo, a little OT but with regards to this turn button problem... had it happen maybe once or twice where it wouldn't "turn green" as people say. Think it was v1.2. Anyhoo, never had a problem since (knocking on wood)then. But can you explain, in layman's terms, why it is that some of us would have this issue and some wouldn't? Are the OP's that different that we will all see varying results?

Disappearing turn buttons are caused by something (generally the AI moving ships) not happening when its supposed to, so the turn is never finished and the button doesn't reappear. This issue has been around in one form or another pretty much forever (back into the beta). Every time the devs squash it, it still seems to come back for at least one or two people under certain circumstances.

The turn button staying green/not turning green is related to [user-requested] changes made to how unmoved ships are handled in 1.2/1.3, IIRC. I'm not a dev, so I can't say as to why it would not affect everyone.

Thanks Kryo, I know it wasn't a game breaking question but it was something I was curious about. I now understand all in the cosmos...  

I've had the Turn button dissapear before. I don't recall exactly, but I think it was because I was trying to make a ship do something it's not supposed to do, like a transport with no weapons trying to invade a defended planet. I've fixed it by either correcting the condition or restarting the game from the last save.

Another version of this is when the turn buttons stay's stuck on "skip", and continous pushing does not get the turn button back. That one can be fixed by going to the options menu's and then coming back, sadly it has not worked when the turn button completely goes away.....

Well, it looks like a legit problem, then. It stink, though, because it only seems to happen when I am playing on a huge honkin map!

I'm having the same problem in a looong game in a gigantic universe. Loading saves sometimes gets me another turn or two before the turn button disappears again. Does the response above mean it hasn't been fixed?

I’ve had a number of different turn button disappearances in the last beta of DA, also in DL and the previous DA beta.
What I haven noticed however is that there is a movement icon in the bottom left corner of my screen, way at the end of the map. It’s a destination without an ETA. It almost looks like a ship is trying to move of the edge of the map. Thus far it has only happened mid game in gigantic galaxies. When I generally have a lot of ships flying around and I haven’t had the patience to see which one is trying to get of the map. I will see if I have a safe game with this bug.

If you do find one, please send it to gc2bugs@stardock.com with as much info as you can provide.

I just had this happen to me in a game (turn button disappeared). Re-loading a save did not work, but exiting the whole game and then restarting the game did solve the problem. This was the first time this has ever happened to me.

Patience is a virtue....
Sometimes the computer just takes ages to complete it's turn. If ever i have this problem, i just go to the toilet, get a drink etc etc, come back and it's all good again!

This also happened to me in the current version 1.4x of the game. Hopefully can reload from a previos save. Reloading from autosave worked once before.
