Frozen Hourglass at beginning of turn

[DisposableHero]

I've just run into this rather unfortunate problem myself. Reloading my save from the previous turn does not fix the problem. It occurs every time I hit end turn.

Oddly, its like the AI's turn has not ended. Escape works to bring me to the menu, but the save game function is disabled. I can also enter RomeShell and enter commands, and I can double-click on things (such as armies). But I can't move them or even see their available moves, single-click on anything, open messages, etc. Keyboard commands and shortcuts continue to work (although this does not allow you to really do anything).

Its 148 BC and I am running version 1.1 on BI (and rather reluctant to give up on a game that's lasted this long and taken around 4 months to play..)

More odd stuff: right clicking causes the hour glass to begin its clockwise spin anew. When it has rotated 180 degrees, it stops rotating completely, until you brush against the edge of the screen (so it becomes a direction arrow). Then it returns to a rotating hourglass again.

Left-clicking on the mini-map, however, does work, bizzarely.
