Game hangs during USSR turn (AI)

[von Schmidt]

v1.50b (last offical patch)

I am UK, USSR is AI. The game does not continue when the AI is making his turn. The mouse is still active and buttons can be clicked but w/o actual effect.
I've tried blind clicking and also waiting for 10 minutes.

Every time this happens (loaded the save several times) the consoleout is more than 1Gigabyte (yes, GB not MB) in size, with 90% of the lines being:

"Na początek marszruty dodałem pole (45,15008120) o koszcie 101450223"

I've attached the zipped savegame folder.

Since this is my first real play of the game, it would be nice if I could continue!

Thanks in advance,

How is your game going? What do you think of the AI? Just out of curiosity.

I'll take a look

try now

[von Schmidt]

That seems to have worked. Thank you!

May I ask what it is that you fixed, so I can possibly do it myself if it happens again?

Thanks again,

It's only my first real game of this new version, so I cannot really judge it too much. The game itself is nicer than RtV, especially with some graphics mods. I also really like the events system.

I feel I'm doing OK as the UK - it is now April 1940 and I have pushed Italy out of N-Africa, protected Greece and am about to knock Bulgaria out.
Feel free to load up the savegame!

The AI seems the same as in RtV: passable but not that great.
The German AI took France by Oct 1940, which is a bit late.
Yugoslavia is still holding on.
The Italian Navy sortied when war was declared and did not seem to bother with repairs or concentration.
Both the Italian ground forces near Tobruk and later the Afrika Korps around Tripoli did not seem to realise that they should stay near a supply source and not leave a sizable gap between the supply and themselves either. Oh well.
Hopefully the poor AI will get some TLC in patches or user mods.

I have to agree with you in your hopes the AI gets some tweaking. I'm looking forward to the patch before I start a PBEM match. I have a game going against the AI. It is in Nov. 1941 and as Germany I've conquered Poland, France, England (both the island and any NA presence), Lux, Bel, Nor, Romania, Yugo, Bulg, Croatia (well it's created), Hung, Slovakia. No Brit surrender because I can't get to Gibralter. In Russia I have the big 3 (Leningrad, Moscow, and Stalingrad). I'm just chasing down the remaining VPs. America just declared war on me but did not join the Allies. I hope to control the world by the summer of 1943 at the latest. Perhaps a bit too easily. [:D]

Sounds like you need to increase the difficulty level a bit!
I assume you started in 1939?

Yes, the 1939 campaign. I left the difficulty at normal. Next time I will boost it dramatically for sure. I think it would be a huge challenge to play Germany against a human.
