Help, Building a Wonder in Hotseat MP Keeps Softlocking My Game

Essentially, I'll build a wonder, it'll try to play the animation despite it being multiplayer, and soft-lock on this screen. Pressing the buttons does nothing. Hitting escape from here just keeps this frame active and prevents me from doing anything, and from that state just pulls up the menu, which again, doesn't help much. Pressing shift+enter does nothing.

Does anyone know a work-around, so that I can still have my wonder and not break the game?

EDIT: In case someone finds this while looking for a solution to this problem themselves, I did find a mod that fixes the issue, posted here.

Have you verified the game cache? Also, can you turn off wonder animations / switch to potato graphics.

I don't see anywhere to turn off Wonder Animations in the menu, nor did going into strategic view fix the issue. Trying verification now.

Sorry, apparently you can only disable in mods or multiplayer. I must have seen it in the multiplayer lobby or something. Weird, sorry about that.

And while verifying did not work, I did find a mod that fixed the issue even if I accidentally deleted the save I was trying to save in the first place in the process of testing everything, so there's that.

Hotseat does not support Wonder Movies at all, fix whatever you changd to "enable" the screen and revert it to how it was.

Its the damnedest thing, I can't think of nor find anything I've done that would enable it. The one mod I saw that even tangentially looked like it might be the culprit turned out to not be responsible, as the issue continues even with it disabled.
