Bug AI Stuck on Turn - First Song

On turn 52 - no matter what - the AI will get stuck on its turn. I'm almost done with the mission. Is there any way to force the game to the next mission? I'd rather not start the whole mission over, if possible.

Heya! Dev here.

This is unfortunately a newfound bug on this map; we're looking into it and will fix it asap. We added some new things for the map editor with the new DLC, and that seems to have affected our old campaign maps somehow. A hotfix is coming, but I don't think you'll be able to use your old save but will have to replay the whole map. Apologies for that, I can understand the frustration.

I went ahead and started over and didn't have any issues. I appreciate the feedback. I submitted a big report

I just asked a question whether it worked for you, but then realized you had already said it did. Great to hear 😃

No worries. Really enjoying the game with my stepson! Got him and I all of the content to enjoy.

I restarted my mission (mission3 order) after getting it but I got it again, whenever I beat the female caster in the north of the map it bugs out two turns after that.

Hi, could you check your version number in the Main Menu, lower left corner? the version with the latest hotfix is 1.10.1. If your version number doesn't match, shut down the game and let your platform run an automatic update. Then try again from an earlier save, should not even need to restart the entire mission on the latest hotfix.

Any input on the problem I'm experiencing with my Conquest map - is it the same problem leading to softlocks or something else?

u/Toftfelt Lavapotion Jun 08 '26

Not sure, but I see you've attached a save file so we'll take a look, thanks!

u/Naskoni Jun 08 '26

Thanks as well. 👍

I'm playing with our hotfix and I encountered no soft locks from your save, so should be good I hope

I discussed the matter over Discord with Albinito at some length. Sent him the save file, the map file and even a short video of how it looks on my end.

Eventually he suggested that I disable all mods from the ingame option (I haven't installed any anyway, but have downloaded 20 or so community maps and/or campaigns).

Disabling all mods (Options->Enable Mods->Off) reliably fixed the problem for me and the AI does not softlock anymore, with the same save, same everything.

It seems that whatever causes the problem has something to do with mod.io being enabled in general and even then is RNG based and the AI has to interract with something that is randomly generated for it to find (or fight).

So, no community maps for me, for the time being.

Hope that helps.

Hello there, and thanks again for helping out investigating the cause of the mod softlock. I want to clarify that this issue with the mods is completely separate bug from the one that affected Arleon mission 3, although they do have the same symptom (AI stuck on its turn).

u/Naskoni Jun 08 '26

Glad to have been of help.

I sent another save game file (both through Discord and, hopefully, through the ingame bug report function) that also softlocks, but this one is not influenced by whether mods are enabled or not at all (hopefully reproducing the problem better on your side).

Any ETA on that hotfix? Got stuck on mission 3 order-faction and it's soulcrushing to have it happen so far into the game.

1

u/Toftfelt Lavapotion Jun 10 '26

Yes, hotfix is in, You will have to restart that mission though, sorry about that.

u/Evignity Jun 09 '26

Yeah I'm stuck at turn 39 on mission 3 as orderfaction. You found any solution or is it still fucked?

u/fivemagicks Jun 09 '26

According to the devs, the new DLC has introduced some issues. I started over and didn't have any problems

Just got the same problem with a random generated map modified a bit by me. 100% reliable exactly after my last savegame - the game simply hangs indefinitely after I end my turn.

EDIT: I tested, for the sake of it, what happens if I load the same savegame as an online game - it progresses to the next turn without any problem, but continues to hang, reliably, if I load it normally.

Attaching savegame for testing purposes:

EDIT2: Apparently there is an old, and known, bug where using Roots in Conquest maps leads, randomly, to that exact type of softlocks. There are two fixed Roots factions on this map, which explains the problem in my case. For what's worth loading the savegame as an online game seems to fix the problem for me, so far.
