Game freeze at turn end in Deadlock 2
Posted: Sat Apr 29, 2017 5:54 am
In Deadlock 2 I will sometimes (but not often) have the following problem: Upon hitting the next turn button, a message box will appear saying something like "Your silicon-based opponents are considering their strategy..." This box doesn't resolve or go away in any way. The game is essentially frozen, although the music still plays normally. The autosave being loading just instantly opens up to that frozen box. I can still open my own saved game (not autosave) but ending the turn will still cause the frozen message box. I have tried moving units differently, attacking vs not attacking, trying to trade or make pacts with the enemy, etc., but nothing works and the game always freezes the same way when I hit next turn.
I am using the GoG version of Deadlock 2 on Windows 10 and have of course used the great ddraw.dll file fix. However, I don't think it actually has anything to do with operating system or game version or game file compatibility, etc.. It really seems like a glitch that would appear in any version (I experienced it a few years ago on a different operating system as well).
Is there any fix or knowledge about this glitch and how it is caused or how to avoid it? I do realize there is a sort of "half-solution," but I don't want to have to have 2 or 3 save files and alternate them each turn so I can go back far enough to change events and hope the glitch doesn't happen. Thanks for any response or info on this issue!
