Accessing Diplomacy Screen freezes UI

After playing for 20 mins on ludicrous sized galaxy

from GalCiv3 Forums

As the title describes, I have run into a problem accessing the diplomacy screen.  The game is set on ludicrous size with full window graphics without GEL enabled. Since I have reached turn 500 or so, I freeze the game when accessing the diplomacy screen.  If I load a save it works fine for about 20 turns.  When the game freezes it seems to be at 10.5 GB RAM usage.

My system is WIn 10, Nvidia Geforce RTX 2070 Super with Intel i9 cpu and 64GB RAM.

 

Thanks for your help!

Sorry to hear you are having trouble.

If you have a savegame where this is reproducible it would help a lot if you uploaded it to a cloud service (DropBox, Google Drive, One Drive) and post a link here, the developers can take a look at it.

Savegames are located in \Documents\My Games\GC3\Saves or \Documents\My Games\GC3Crusade\Saves

Thank you for your patience and patronage.

After several attempts I have found the cause. It happens when clicking the Diplomacy button after a UP vote.

I have added this to the bug list so the developers can take a look at it.

Thank you!  I thought maybe it was related to the number of civs.

Just checking in.  Any idea when a fix for this will be ready?

Sorry, nothing new to report about the issue.

Im trying to repro this and I haven't been able to. Anyone with a save that repros would be appreciated (the save above has expired). Im doing lots of UP meetings and then hitting the diplomacy button right after.

Maybe it's a specific UP resolution that passes that causes it? Im trying different ones, but no issues yet.

Wait a minute.... I think i got it. It also takes a ton of other civs in the game to lock.

I think I have a repro, checking it out not.

We have a fix. Thanks for all the help isolating this. The problem actually in the Diplomacy screen, its in the UP screen. The UP doesn't clean up everything it needs to after making all those bink windows. Which causes issues when something else tries to create multiple bink windows at once (the diplomacy screen).

The fix will be in the next patch.
