A few days ago I started a game, saved it and exited. Today I open it up to continue and load the save game and it cycles through a few statuses of loading various game assets etc. at the bottom status widget, then gets to "loading save games" where it sits indefinitely.

I can move the mouse around, but the game is non-responsive to any mouse or keyboard input and the loading screen just sits there with music playing while doing absolutely nothing. If I had an ancient PC I could understand it perhaps taking a few seconds or whatever, but this is a current generation PC that meets the recommended specs for The Witcher 3 (minus my GPU). I've played Ceville before a year or so ago and got further than this without any hangs, so I have no idea what's up with that.

Doesn't look like there's much info in the forums here about this game so I'm not really too hopeful. :/
Searching for "ceville loading save game" on Google results in links to every other game ever made *except* Ceville. Brilliant Google, absolutely Brilliant.

Even more brilliant is if you go on Steam and type "ceville" into the search box, the only thing that comes up is "Ceville demo" but not the actual game. Clicking on the Ceville demo does not bring up the Ceville demo though, instead it brings up "Europa Universalis: Rome - Gold Edition". LOL

Seriously! You can't make this shit up folks, pure game support gold. I'm not remaining too hopeful about this problem if the game is so broken, has never received the last patch on GOG, and is not even available for sale on Steam anymore, and the remaining demo links to a completely different game.

Perhaps I should ask GOG for my money back, although I've owned the game for a very long time now, a year or two so I wouldn't qualify for a refund under the normal terms. Always possible that they might make an exception though. I filed a tech support request to see if GOG support can find a workaround or fix for the problem as they've been super tech support kung-fu experts in the past with game problems, plus I'm patient and easy going about this sort of shit so let's see what happens. :)

If they can't get the game to work and I can't find any solutions online either, I'll see if they refund it as a last resort. Kind of a bummer though as it looks like a neat PnC game. What's more odd is that I actually played it for a few hours a year or so ago and got further than now. Makes not much sense...

Anyhow... if anyone happens to have experienced this and has a potential solution, I'm all ears. :)

What last patch are you referring to for Ceville? It has been updated to version 1.0.2.0 and that IS the last patch :)

I didn't look into it closely myself, just read a comment somewhere that the game was outdated. I know it had been patched before though as I commented on another thread here about that. :) Information on the game seems hard to come by though, not just here but in general. It's a huge mess on Steam though.

I wonder why the game was pulled from Steam. Going to see if I can find out more info.
