Title: New units will not move in galactic map
Post by: Sarge7 on October 12, 2012, 07:24:25 PM
Just as the subject says, i loaded up a save game i had for the NR and now i can only move units i already had built before i saved. Anything i build now will not allow me to move it on the galactic map.
Anyone ever heard this happen before? And is there a way to fix it or is my save game useless now....

You've encountered "The FREEZE".

Save game is useless now.  This is a longstanding issue with the game engine, it's not part of this mod, it's just a lot easier to have it happen with the mod due to how much more stuff is going on in the galactic map now.

it's no set time.  On Essence of War as the Pentastar Alignment, it happens to me by week 120.

Will it be a way to prevent this from happen? Maybe not to use the amount of unit capacity at maximum ? Are there any possible suggestions to avoid this freeze thing?

That might be an idea maybe the unit cap needs to be kept down?

It's already relatively low. Making it lower would make certain smaller GCs entirely unplayable. There's really no way around the freeze in EaW if you want to play large GCs.

Just a question you said that you couldn't fix it with a mod or a anything like that but for example if you would want to could you fix it at least in your own game? Or there is NOTHING you can do about it?

You can't do anything about it.  It's part of the actual core game, so the only way to fix it would be to be able to alter the binaries that compose the game itself.

And I don't have any idea of how to do it. Thanks
