I don't have WinDVD or Winamp3 - it's quite possibly the sound card itself. I'll try with the card switched off (it's a useless onboard one), see if that does it...

I hit upon the same solution - turning off SF and music - which seemed to work for about a day, but now the problem's back again. The same thing happens with End turn skips moves on or off, and with the various watching options on or off. I just can't figure out what's doing it.

Version 1.10, but the same problem occurs without the patch. I've only tried playing in medium and large sized galaxies, there doesn't seem to be any difference. Generally speaking, the game runs very quickly - when a turn does end normally, it's only a few seconds before the next one begins. The problem is, 9 times out of 10 I'm left waiting for ages...

No, I don't think so - the problem occurs most turns, regardless of whether I have any colony ships or not. Thanks for the suggestion though - I'm guessing there might be something which is holding things up, but I can't figure out what it might be... EDIT: sorry about the double-post, I'll confine replies to the other one... [Message Edited]

Hi, I've been experiencing problems with GalCiv waiting between turns which make it pretty much unplayable - I've had one normal game, so I know how good it is, and I'm desperate to get it working consistently so I'd be grateful for any suggestions. When I press enter to end a turn, the clock face appears in place of the turn button, and nothing happens for quite a while - sometimes 5-10 minutes, sometimes hours. Reloading solves the problem for one turn only, and clicking through my pl

I've been experiencing exactly the same problem, with the computer seeming to wait indefinitely, but none of the suggestions above make any difference. The only thing that sometimes works is leaving a diplomacy screen open, but this doesn't always. Does anyone know of a more general solution? Thanks.
