This bug is still happening in Planetfall and has been reported several times throughout the years. If they cannot fix it here, what is the difference between AOW4 that would make me consider buying it since it is probably the same engine?

Hi Zindifir, as you probably know 'Exectuing Auto Move" is the turn indication when AI is working through their turn. When something in the AI behaviour goes funky it will likely present as a hang with this indication. Since it's AI behaviour I think you can understand that there's many things that could cause a failure.
Over Planetfalls lifetime we've fixed plenty of these issues, so when it shows "Executing Auto Move" there's not a single bug with a single fix. We've had AI constantly repeating a fight that would end in a Draw due to an Out of Sync. There's been hangs when AI tries to move on a specific structure at a particular moment. Everytime we fix an instance/occurance, a hidden or deeper issue has the potential to surface.
Generally these issues can be worked around by going back a couple of turns and making different choices. This can result in the AI changing its goals and avoiding the situation that caused the issue.
HHopefully this provides a bit of understanding as to the nature of the Exciting Auto Move/Opponents are Moving bugs.

Thank you for the reply and describing it that way. I never considered that so was always frustrated when it happened and when we reloaded we probably just chose the same path. This will at least give us a path to finish the game.
