Game hangs during AI turn
Hello. I've had this a couple of times since i started a new campaign with ABA (along other mods, but i suppose it's caused by a mod that alters the AI). Sometimes the game will hang during the AI turn. UI is still responsive and i can bring the menu and quit so game is not frozen, but no matter how long i wait nothing happens. I deleted my INIs (except for XComInput so i don't have to remap my hotkeys) but the issue is still there. Nothing is written in combat log when the game hangs (and i guess launch log isn't helpful).
Here's a list of the other mods i have enabled. Hang occurs during normal missions as well as those added by Additional Mission Types

There's an AI bug happening in the vanilla game already and it looks like you may have encountered that. It's the AI's turn, they all do nothing and they pass the turn back to you?
If that happens, save and reload your game to fix the problem.
Shouldn't really happen very often, like 1 in 30 games maybe? Personally, i haven't had it happen at all during my last 3 or 4 campaigns, but i know that other people occasionally run into it.

Or do you not get the turn passed back to you and the game hangs? In that case, something else may be up.

I am currently not aware of any AI bugs with ABA that lead to an AI freeze.
Looking over your modlist, i don't see anything suspicious, either. I use or used most of those myself and for the rest i am at least sure that they don't interfere with the AI.

Next time your problem occurs, please try reloading the game to see if that fixes the issue. If it does, you are probably seeing that vanilla bug. Sadly, I don't know what causes it :|

I don't get the turn passed back to me. I kept the game running for about 10 minutes or so and when i came back it was still the AI turn. Encountered this twice during the current campaign and reloading the autosave doesn't help, game will hang again. It's not a "hard" freeze as the UI is still totally responsive and i can quit using the menu, no need to kill the application. It looks, from a totally external PoV with no real evidence, as if the AI logics goes into some loop and stops working (reminds me of the Fallen Enchantress bug where game hangs if an AI unit doesn't find a best or "second best" tile to move, in case you played this one). If it happens again i'll check Task Manager to see if the CPU does something.
