Game is 'Frozen' sort of
After a space battle retreat, my game froze sort of, I can still click on planets and view them and the fleets in orbit and I can still add units to the production queues. What I can't do is move the fleets or ground units between planets, and the time ticker has stopped progressing. Is anyone aware of a fix to this bug?

Yeah, your game probably got stuck in a 3-way NPC fight, which the game is unable to solve. Since in the original game it was impossible for more than 2 factions to meet at a single moment, this never needed fixing, but this mod has so many factions that 3 of them can meet pretty easily and thus lock the game.

The 3-way battle bug, in my experience, is usually a CTD type bug. When the map "freezes" but you can still click on things, that's a different bug. I'm reposting this from another discussion because I think this is probably the issue you're having:

This is almost certainly due to moving ground troops directly to another system without first moving them into the space layer.

EX: if you have troops on Coruscant and you want to send them to Byss, they need to be moved from Coruscant ground layer to Coruscant space layer, then to Byss or wherever you are sending them. If you drag them from Coruscant ground layer, to Byss space layer, you probably borked your save accidentally.

This bug is extra insidious because the effect is not triggered right away, but at least a week or two after the mistake, so it's REALLY hard to figure out that this caused it. Hope this helps!

There's not much you can do, other than go to an old save and try and make some aggressive moves which affect the AI. For me, this one is usually a campaign killer, unless you have the resources to make a serious push to change the balance of forces on the galaxy map.
