Help! Game freezes on AI faction's turn!

[Miraj]

If your game is freezing on a specific AI factions turn please simply wait for 10-15 min because the game is processing a new horde that is being formed after losing it's last settlement.

[Shadowcry]

Just curious why does it take so long in comparison to vanilla whihc takes about a min at most to process this request?

[Miraj]

No idea.

[Ceferiel]

I waited for my 'faction turn' 12 min. I managed to go to the store, buy the coke, return and see no progress have been made (alt tab was not possible either)

I remember an issue with French extinction freeze in america's campaign in MTW2 kingdoms which INDEED took a good 5 min break to kick back in.

I will however 'sacrifice' 30 min of my time and will see if it gets through it.

The thing is, the faction that is dying is KoJ. The faction that the game freezes upon is georgia (the killing blow to the KoJ is dealt from the ayyubids). No sense for me =/

Also no processor work is done (i.e. no red dot flashing on my PC ^^ ).

The music is playing though so I'm sure its not a crash : )

I play with ERE and have this freese issue with ayyuvids at 1197 or 1207...
Is it becaouse some ai faction far away becomes horde or it is a problem with ayyuvids?Should i wait 15 mins?Alt-tab does not work with me either...:hmmm:

[AnthoniusII]

And i give the answer my self...Ayyuvids turned the KoJ to a horde and they(the crusaders)attacked to my Antioch!!!THEY SHALL NOT PASSSS!!!!

[AnthoniusII]

They passed.....

[Shadowcry]

Mirage everytime the horde freeze happens my computer doesnt unfreeze i let it sta for like half an hour still no change.

[Miraj]

Strange. What faction is the one hording?

[Shadowcry]

Khwarezm getting owned by mongols. For some strange reason whenever it hordes on my comp it takes over thirty min since today i was like ill just leave th eturn running for the save game and came back in seven hours and i was like finally YES!

[Miraj]

I don't want to be nosy, but is your computer by any chance pretty slow (ie low end)?

[dogukan]

this one is a really annoying bug

[dogukan]

allright.....whichever faction I play as(tried 3 though so far).....game freezes on AI's turn(in2-3rd turns=)
What might be the reasons for this.....note that this is muuuuuch before Mongols

Also, as KOJ when I conquered Antioch the choices didN't came and game got stuck there....on campiagn map my general couldn't move into city.

Another minor problem-When I bring my mouse on buildings,units no information shows up(cost,number of turns required)

ps:I did install patch 1.2 but I didn't unpack it, what does unpacking exactly do?

[hacjiny]

[born2dive67]

awww, wish i saw this earlier, i deleted my saved game of Georgia because i thought there was a problem. but i know KS was getting owned by the Mongols and it was the Mongols turn. would this be low end? amd 64, 2.4ghz, dual Nvidia 7900 gtx running sli. 2gb ram

[phonicsmonkey]

hey, is there a list somewhere of the factions that can horde when their last settlement is taken?

[Anticulture]

I'm in year 1201 playing as the indian faction as far east as possible, and it's freezing on The Eastern Roman Empire turn. I left it for ten minutes but still nothing.

[faber]

I got this problem too.

My faction: ERE
Year: 1251
Comp: E6550 + 2Ghz ram etc...so not definetly low end...
Problem: When AI turns, at Solanki Rajputs it freezw I can't move, can't Alt+Tab, nothing. I waited 15 mins or more, but nothing happend.

I don't think it is horde problem since:
- it happend when I deeated Jeruzsalem, and after 4-5 min it returned to normal at taht time...now it doesn't
- Solanki Rajputs are first in the diagrams so I don't think they have been owned in under 1 turn....

Please help me to complete this great game

The problem I had in 1201 fixed itself after I waited 15 minutes, but now I have the same problem you have. I'm playing the Solanki Rajputs and thought it was odd that it would freeze on my turn. I watched TV for about ten minutes and nothing changed. I went to the store, took a shower, shaved, brushed my teeth etc. came back, and it wasn't my turn, but it was still frozen, this time on The Eastern Roman Empire. Total I think I waited about 75 minutes, then I decided to restart my computer because ctrl+alt+del , esc and alt+tab wouldn't work. I guess I'll leave it on overnight tonight and post if it's fixed.
