i have the same issue and i think i figured out the reason for this bug, even though i dont know how to fix it.
during the first 70 turns, vampires get an event where they receive a message from the grey mountains, asking them to stay away unless they want to die in the upcoming storm (chaos). this event (probably) makes chaos ignore the vampire counts once they start marching south. if player are in a coop-campaign and the vampire agreed to chaos demands, chaos doesnt declare war, but since the coop partner gets the declaration of war,he has to call his ally for help (no option to exclude allies from this war). since chaos doesnt go to war with vampires and the partner still brings vampires into war, the game gets confused.
I think the underlying issue has something to do with Empire in co-op. Is there anyone who's playing the empire and isn't hosting?
I think the issue has something to do with the empire being at war with chaos perma from the start and every other faction not. So when it comes to the cinematic the game is trying to declare war on the person who's turn it is (Empire player) but they're aleady at war, so the game gets confused and chokes to death (desync, freeze, can't move)

The team are aware and hope to address this in a future update.

Is there any update on a ETA on this please? Does this just affect Co-Op Campaign or does the same still occur on the standard multiplayer games? Is there any other work around for this? Does this bug occur 100% of the time or just random?
Anyone? does this affect Head to Head or just Coop ?
OK EVERYONE I HAVE MANAGED TO FIX THIS!!!!!!!! prideaux was correct in his idea.. but i found a fix for loading autosaves. If the player controlling vamps declairs war with chaos before you get stuck then it all fixes itself just tested this now and it also affects head to head campains (me and friend were defencive allies though)

But how do i declare war with chaos if they dont exsist untill the cinematic? Do i need to explorethe north or something?
Same thing happened to me on turn 43(ish) of the single player dwarf campaign. Turn end, troop movement and attacking and save game were all disabled. Declaring war on chaos primitively isn’t an option as they aren’t even on my radar at this stage. How long till we get a patch do u think? It sucks to stall out just as were getting into it!
When the developers finally fix the problem. Same thing happened with me on 53 turn. Are there testers in the company? They have problebs even on web site ... http://joxi.net/a2XWbojuLzdLmg
This is happening to my coop game now as well, even though I'm pretty sure this was resolved in the recent patch. The difference is that we're using some mods in our coop campaign: "Bretonnia by Prater", "Conquer Anywhere & Diplomatic Options," and "Maximum Level 60 for Generals."
We're at turn 56 and Chaos seems to finally "appear" somewhere but my friend (who is Bretonnia) is unable to end his turn or do anything other than diplomacy. Declaring war or inviting me to declare war on Chaos does not help. We are unable to declare war on Chaos before that as they are not on the map or diplomacy screen at all until that very moment.
We've tried exchanging save game files, did not work.
We've tried rolling back one turn (we're on Legendary) and making alliances with people who we think are attacked by Chaos on that turn in hopes that might help automatically bring us into the war or something. Did not work.
We've tried breaking all of our alliances before that turn. Did not work.
Anyone have any ideas? It sounds like these mods may be screwing up the game and forcing it to do what the game was doing before the fix (assuming it was ever fixed).
Dwarfs are stuck (who are first in the turns) with greyed out button
The Empire player (me) at start of turn gets tactical map opened and the view zooms to the dwarfs location. The dwarf cannot spam enter because we have super fast pc's and we do not get that "split second to spam enter" fix.
New DLC is out and bug is still there. Devs, do you have any update? I know it is important to sell more products but it would be nice to support current ones.
These save games really do speed up the process of tackling these issues so they are much appreciated.
Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Why saves are needed now? I thought that you (CA Support) was able to reproduce the problem and devs are now working on resolution. What is current status then?
Check out our latest hotfix and let us know how it impacts your issue.
Cheers, Guy

Unfortunately this is not fixed in the hotfix. Player can not end the turn. I double-checked the build - it is the correct one. We are using saves from my previous post.
