FreeOrion

The game gets stuck at this point every time, but weirdly enough this point comes at different turns whenever it happens. My computer is about 2 years old with parts that were "great" at the time so I don't think its a hardware problem for my computer.

Please see the announcement.

What version? What platform? Did you compile yourself?

Didn't compile myself version 0.3.14-Win32(well this is what it says on the setup exe) Im running it on windows xp.

I cant find my logs or I don't know what they're called(found the config.xml through the announcement).

They are called freeorion.log, freeoriond.log and ogre.log and they should be in the same directory the config.xml is in. Since you seem to be able to run everything fine until a certain turn, they should be there.

Found all 3. 2 are too big to attach can copy and paste if this isnt the right one.

Edit#1 Bottom part of freeorion

The ogre.log seems fine, as expected. The repeating "WaitingForTurnData.TurnProgress" is odd. Could you put freeorion.log and freeoriond.log in a zip file and attach that?

Ok here they are.

Ok, I'm not quite sure what's going on. The repetition of "WaitingForTurnData.TurnProgress" is happening for all turns, except the very first one in the log - turn 21. It starts with turn 22. Did you do anything at this point outside of freeOrion? Could you also check your firewall? The freeorion executables have to be able to communicate with each other.

Geoff will probably have some more useful input.

No, I didn't do anything at all.

Also my firewall has freeorion listed as an exception so its not being blocked.

This may be the same issue as in this bug, the report for which doesn't really give any more information, but is reproducible with the provided save file.

Could you clarify what you mean by "this point" coming at different turns? Do you start new games or load a save from just before it happens?

Could you post a save that is immediately before it happens (ie. load and press turn to crash), or (if possible) a save that's a turn or two before it happens where you have to do something specific with a fleet or planets to make it happen?

I mean that it happens in all new games I start but not a specific point, theres nothing I can see from my game play that causes it to happen(no research or building such as that).

I haven't installed any patches if there are any.

Could you start a game with no AIs and 10 stars, and play until it happens, and then post the autosave from the turn before?

ok I'll try how do i know where to find the auto save? Will it be at the bottom of one of the logs?

Autosaves are by default done every turn and are saved in the "save" folder, located in the same directory the logs are in.

Tried it and now the game is frozen at "resolving combat" although there is nothing to fight, I'll post saves now

I think I know what the problem is, I just went into a game I was running fine for a long time and tried to make a custom ship(where the one Im posting crashes) I think it has to do with me making custom ships.

Edit#1 I checked and it is when I make a custom ship, first file is when I saved right before it is made.
