Title: Endless NPC space battle
Post by: Theodidactus on October 18, 2014, 08:42:40 PM

Hello,
I'm positive I've seen this question around but I can't locate it.

I've left my computer running 5 second-20 second autoturned increments for most of the day. it's been many many in-game hours, but this titanic space battle shows no signs of abating.

What's the best way to fix this problem? Just ride it out?

not much can be done, hopefully the ai isn't trying to chase something forever with no hope of catching it.

Praying it's an epic space battle which is now going into its 9th hour.

Started to have 1 of these in my laptop campaign. After 4 nites of 5sec increments, it was over after perhaps 2 days in game, perhaps 20 hours realtime.

yeah, i gave my computer a workout by simply leaving it running all day. We'll see how far it gets. Ordinarily I let it work for Seti@home during the day so if we fail to discover an alien civilization by nightfall, we can blame Steve.

I do hope I can clear this because I was just about ready to start a major ground war, my first ever in Aurora, and I was looking forward to writing some fiction about it.

17 hours of gametime in about 17 hours of real time. The day is saved. Stay tuned for a ground war!

If its not in one of your important systems, use space time bubble in spacemaster mode and "scroll" a few hours and it should speed up again...

yeah...I don't understand what you mean by "scroll"


I just left it running all day. It fixed itself. Ground war in progress. Millions dead.

I assume by scroll he just means click a few hour turns.

Yea click an hour or more and it usually goes away to the next time...
