[1.0 bug] end of turn will not engage.

hit the end of turn button and nothing happened. 

Had a heap of young crow demons auto exploring the map and one of them was stuck trying to go through an AI's city who I had a non-aggression pact with.  Move the unit backwards one square and end of turn kicks in.

What u have doesn't matter. My games stuck also and nothing help. Saving and reloading is solution of that problem for sth like 3-4 turns.

You're probably going to have to wait till Tuesday, before you get any help from Stardock (Memorial Day weekend). I know they are working diligently to resolve these strange issues that seem to be arising.

Do you have a save you can post, or maybe a debug.err file to post so they can at least see what's going on with your game. (debug.err file is rewritten everytime you start a new game, so start a game get the issue then post the .err file, it basically does a dxdiag and then goes through the loading, warnings and errors that are occuring in your game.) To post stuff you need to link the file from a file hosting server like Dropbox or equivalent.

Yes, that's an oldie - it was already in the original Elemental: War of Magic release.

Saving and loading clears the "moving" status and allows the turn to end - but it may effectively cost you one turn (another oldie).

@venegeance88: Search the map for a "running" unit - one that tries to move into a square that it cannot enter. See the OP for one example of such a situation. I guess you have some friendly "obstacle" at a choke point, and every few turns one of your units gets stuck there - once you know where it is, you can easily check it if the turn doesn't end.

@parrotmath: Given the age of the bug, I'd not hold my breath for a fix even with a clear description of when and how the bug happens (several have been posted already), a save game, a debug err (I think both have been posted as well), and even more, e.g. a youtube video showing the problem.

Nop I will upload it soon. But the main problem is not that game crush, but game crush when I can't pass a turn and then I make save/load action and then game crush. 

 

But as I said before, I will upload both files.
