MAJOR BUG

I've had two games in a row now hang while the AI is taking it's turn, and do so everytime I try to end that turn, so basically my games are toast. The first after 300 turns and 3 days of play time!!! The second after 6.4 years.

SEIII did this too, I usually went to the oldest auto saved game and then played on and that usually fixed it. This has not worked in SEIV.

I didn't pay 85$ to play half a game! >:-[

Send a copy of this to MM. They need to see this ASAP. We have not encountered this in beta play since the very earliest Versions. If there is a problem, the will want to stomp on it fast.

I've had the same problem with one of my PC's then proceeded to load the game on my other PC and the game works fine there! The PC that has problems is an AMD Athlon 900 with 128Mb RAM 32Mb Creative Labs TNT2 Ultra, Sound BLaster Live!, Adaptec 2940UW SCSI card and SCSI CD-ROM running Windows 98SE and DirectX 7a. The other PC, in which the game works (except for the CD music), is an AMD K6III 450, 128Mb RAM, 32Mb Diamond Viper V770, Sound BLaster AWE64, IDE CD-ROM running Windows 98SE and DirectX 8.0. I would much rather play on the Athlon!
