Turn resolution breaks after pause/restart

Post by Tim James »

This has happened twice now. I pause the turn resolution to take a closer look at something. When I hit restart, nothing appears to happen. If I click pause and restart a few more times, I sometimes see additional entries in the Tactical Ops Center Diary. Then occasionally the time increments by one minute. It's as if the game only processes a few tens of seconds each time I click restart, but it won't continue.

This is Steam, 2.07, Windows 7 64bit. Let me know what other information I should provide.

It also appears that after I click pause/restart a few times, the FPRS application enters an unstable state. For example, I can click on all the window tabs, but the map zoom level won't change, I can't scroll it, etc.

Tim, was this in a single player game? Did this happen from a new game start or a save game reload?
OTS is looking forward to Southern Storm getting released!

Definitely single player. New game start vs. save game reload is a good question. I want to say it was the former. In any case, I completely went through the orders phase then hit the start button before the sequence of events began.

After I killed the process and restarted, I noticed I had an autosave in the middle of the turn resolution. Is that normal? I ask because the second time this happened, I pressed pause/restart a bunch of times and a dialog box suddenly appeared to say "X minutes of turn resolution are about to begin" or whatever it says when you initially click start. I checked the box for autosave after orders phase, so I wonder if it saved there after the game got confused about the phase.
