just shy of 300 hours and i'm getting an absolutely game breaking bug.

I get about 80-100 turns into an endless (slow paced) game and inevitable a turn occurs in which I'm on the receiving end of multiple simultaneous diplomatic demands. Whenever this occurs and two opponents are sending me a diplomatic demand simultaneously, the UI breaks and the interaction screen for one of the diplomacy events will be unresponsive. Quitting and loading the game will cause the bug to reappear as soon as it happens again. At this point I've restarted 4 games this week, got 4-6 into each of them, and encountered this game breaking bug. I've searched the forums and can't find anyone else experiencing this. The rest of the UI may or may not be functional when this happens, and the first time the bug occurred I think I confused it with another bug known by the community as 'stuck in pending' upon next turn. But, now that the bug has occurred 4 times I can say with confidence it's simultaneous diplomacy that causing it. I've tried different configurations of mods and with no mods and at all and get the same issue. I've installed the community fixes mods and it had no impact.

It's incredibly frustrating that it don't encounter the bug until I'm 3-6 hours into a game and just approaching the faster paced midgame when the bug happens.

I wish I could recommend this game, I absolutely love it. I can't get into Stellaris because it just doesn't scratch the same itch for me. But I can't recommend this game to anyone while it's unplayable like this.

After 8 years, and several hardware upgrades on my end, I'm STILL getting an MP desync EACH game, after a certain number of terms (how many seems dependent on galaxy size/number of players - this time it was...43, 49 turns, I think?) when playing with a SINGLE friend. And after the first desync - it basically keeps desyncing after eachj new turn.

My hours should say it all.
