Started a new game of 6.43 yesterday, conventional empire no-thrills-or-frills, and it was going well into the 9th year, with the first exploration ships in the shipyards and cool tech being researched.
Then all of the sudden I started getting 21600s increments instead of the 30 days I was requesting. No updates in the event log, just the increments of 21600s/6h.
Ben clicking through these for about a month in-game time, which is not fun, and no end in sight. I've had in previous games periods of short interruptions, but this is ridiculous.
