Unable to Select Units

[Ryan Johnson]

I started a Galactic Conquest and played for many hours on it, saving as I went.  I experienced one battle that was unusual because I was unable to select the units.  After the battle, I was once again able to select units.  A few battles later, I lost the ability to select units in battle, and stacking units on the world map would cause their disappearance.  Every battle following also denied the selection of units.  I was able to send off fleets to attack, and they would show up in a battle, but that was the extent of my control.

This seems to be related to our Empire at War mod Imperial Civil War rather than our Sins mod Ascendancy. Moved. ~ Slornie

Hi Ryan,

This is a common problem with long games in large-scale mods like ours.  Essentially it's down a bug in the game engine (so the bug can technically occur in the vanilla game too) whereby it stops counting new objects (units, projectiles, props) after a certain point resulting in them becoming increasingly unusable.

Pox, from our team, and Fregge worked hard investigating the issue and have produced a "defreezer" utility for save files to reset this counter (I think that's how it works) so games can be continued.  You can find this on Mod Database.

Hope this helps.
