Hi Crisco, thanks for getting in touch. Sorry to hear about the issue loading up a scenario game. We’ll do our best to try and resolve the issue!

Just to make it easier for the dev team, would you mind responding with some extra info?
Was the game unplayable from that point (as in, did you have to manually restart the game) or were you able to back out? If possible, could you send some logs our way? Have a quick read of this post on the best way to do this.

Thanks again!

The map is 40x40 made another map 35x35. Neither will work. The status bar fills and it says "Press any key to continue" but when I do nothing happens. If I left click with the mouse windows tells me it's not responding and I can choose to close the game or wait. I'll send log files when I can.

I just sent a brief description and log files to help@aurochdigital.com

Hi again Crisco, I’ve passed the info you sent us onto the dev team. Thanks for that, it’s massively helpful for them when looking into this issue.

Our current conclusion as to why this issue is happening is that the AI struggles when set as an attacker and is deployed on a large map (40x40 etc.). Have you tried playing on the beta version of the game? You can access this by going to the 'win64bit' branch in Steam Beta Branches in Properties. There may be some lag, but the issue of being stuck on the loading screen should hopefully not be present.

Let us know if you give it a go and any feedback you have. Thanks!

Yes, I did try beta and yes it worked until turn 3 where the AI seemed to get stuck on it's 3rd move turn. I'm assuming it was because of either the large number of units or the nature of that map being a river crossing.
