Solved. It requires reinstalling both Steam and GalCiv III. I did both because checking file integrity from each gave me different answers. 1. Uninstall GalCiv III 2. Uninstall Steam 3. Ensure deletion of folder "Steam" from C:/Program Files (x86) 4. Ensure deletion of folder "Stardock" from C:/ProgramData 5. Run a disk cleanup tool and registry cleaner. 6. Reinstall Steam. 7.

Starting Monday, 30 March, GalCiv III won't let me colonize planets. When the ships launch, I can click on a planet to send them. When they arrive, they stop and become idle. The game won't let me click on the planet to have them colonize. No message of any sort, the game simply doesn't accept the input. I usually colonize Mars within the first 5 turns. After that, starting around turn 30 or so, the game won't let me colonize planets.

Some additional information on my experience of this problem that everyone seems to have: It occurs around turn 250 Insane map size CPU utilization, by GalCiv, when the game bogs to stop is 50 to 60% The system bogs to tens of minutes to render a screen My laptop case and keyboard over the CPU and graphics chips is extremely hot. If I kill the game (via Task Manager) and let my laptop cool off, the screens render a little faster
