Can't download from client after latest update

After downloading the latest client on windows today, I am unable to download any turns. The client becomes unresponsive after hitting the play your damn turn button.

Before:

After:

After this, no buttons work and I have to close the client and re-open.

From the console:

Hmm, I think I understand why this is happening but not sure why it’s just happening for you, I added some code to guard against it if you want to try this beta build before I release it: https://pydt-temp.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/playyourdamnturn-win-2.1.10-beta20250708.exe

Thanks for the quick response!

I uninstalled the old version, installed the beta version, and I still get the same issue unfortunately.

OK, I still don’t understand why this is consistently dying for you, but I think I found the real culprit, hopefully this one fixes it: https://pydt-temp.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/playyourdamnturn-win-2.1.10-beta20250713.exe

Still no luck for me. I click on the play your damn turn button and then I see nothing. It must be a local thing with my computer or setup. I’m on windows 11. I noticed that this started happening after I bought Civ VII, which has a very similar save folder. I dunno if that would make a difference. There is nothing to show in the console either. Here is a screenshot:

I should mention that I am able to use the client by downloading version 2.1.8. The problem is it auto-updates to 2.1.9 eventually.

If I change the save directory to anything outside of my C:\users<user>\documents folder, the save download works.

I made a workaround on my PC to get it to work, so don’t spend any more time on this unless you are really bored. I’ll be fine.
