    Default Cursor Issues

    So I'm at turn 145 in my Nabatu campaign and everything's going swimmingly until I press 'next turn'. The new turns comes but my cursor stays the revolving hourglass sprite, occassionally glitching back to the normal cursor for a splitsecond. I'm barely able to select anything and completely unable to skip to the next turn. I'm wondering if this has already been reported and if there might be a fix as this is quite an unexpected and persistent game-breaking bug.

    It should be mentioned that I started this campaign before I downloaded the CAI patch (after which I loaded a new campaign first as instructed). Thanks in advance.

Decisions between rival reasons can be made only by force.

In view of our divine essence, we need only liberty and work; in view of our mortal nature, we need for our direction a guide and a support. A government is not then, as a distinguished economist has said, a necessary ulcer; it is rather the beneficent motive power of all social organisation.

    Default Re: Cursor Issues

    Having exactly this problem playing my Romani campaign It started about 240BC. I was well into the campaign making good progress conquering Iberia, then I found at the end of turn, the hour glass cursor kept turning over and didn't stop. I reloaded a previous save game and it happened again at 239 BC. I know it must be a script error somewhere but don't know how to trace it.

    Something like this happened with EB1 called the hourglass of death! but that was something to do with rebels spawning in the city Eburonum. http://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showth...glass-of-Death

    EDIT-Found out this was most likely caused by a silly change I did some weeks ago by including some additional mercenaries and trying to delay their availability until the Polybian Reforms. I edited out the requires text for the Polybian Reforms and restarted my campaign from an earlier save and the problem has stopped. The game was likely confused by including the requires text in the mercenary list when the campaign reached 240BC, which I think the reforms begin!!

    Stupid me,sorry to mention this which was caused by my own edits!! (hope it was) Anyway the good news is I can carry on with the campaign ,although the mercenaries aren't recruitable despite the requires text for the Polybian Reforms being taken away.That doesn't matter anyway, they will be in my next campaign.
