Can you give more details? Is it every enemy or a specific scripted fight? Can you create a new game (as a test) and see if those enemies fight in the tutorial? Have you tried moving closer to the enemies to trigger an "aggro range?" Or, and I hate to say since time is so close to full release, deleting the EA version and re-installing it?

I was playing with a friend so 2 playable characters and 2 npc, I think this started when we re encouter the ogress and the hobgobelin back in the village and since we were in a few fight but we noticed enemies weren't taking aggro even if we stepped closer I think we triggered once an attack from one of them when one of us walk really close of it. I created a new save to test new thing just before we played again on the main save and the bug appeared, nothing was out the ordinary for the new one so far. I could try to reinstall it but it will take me 1 to 2 days so I prefer to try everything I can xD

So it persisted outside of a new game? Huh. I have only experienced that specific one once on another CRPG. The way I fixed it was I had to do a full delete (backed up saves on a thumb drive) and removed all save files, and the temp data files, with the game files. Basically a nuke option. Nothing else worked. Then I ran a cleaner program that removed registry errors. Reinstalled. Force closed the launcher. Pasted back in the save files and it went away.

Yeah, it may not be helpful to you. Sorry. But that is what I have had to do in the past as even reinstalling did not work.
I’m having the same issue, mine started in the teahouse when I attacked auntie Ethel. I tried loading older saves, seeing if they’d take an opportunity attack and a couple other thing. Nothing has helped. I didn’t try another campaign but I’m reinstalling now.
Update:" Uninstall didn't fix anything and neither did verifying files

I had the same bug and nothing seemed to help. I gave up and used cheat engine to speed up the afking enemies/game 2x and after couple of encounters the bug fixed itself.

I have the same bug - it is quite annoying. I will also try to get through some encounters then....

+40h into the game. Apparently what causes this bug is some particular party character to be bugged and rendering the fights like that. Dropping them off the party and leaving them out should "fix", but it's not much of a fix if you were looking to play with them.

Considering that the game was crashing every 5-10mins at one point and that right now I have at least half as many hours into fixing bugs and issues with the game I've given up on it. Apparently this had already been present in Beta and Larion did jack squat. Can't be arsed to keep playing a game this buggy and sure as hell wont be bothering with anything from Larion Studios ever again...

Thats the same spot i got the same error. If I remove Astration from the party game works normal.

This only just started happening to me yesterday in the underdark. Never happened in my first full playthrough, even after patch 2 dropped. All my mods are up to date as far as I can tell.

Update: Apparently, enemies will attack using crossbows, but never melee or spells??

Update 2: once I got back to the surface, problem seems to have been solved.

When you went back to the underdark did the bug happen again?

Had the same issue in The Grove battle, it turned out to be a bugged character [Shadowheart]. If I sent her back to camp, everything was fine. I think a script must be broken somewhere. I ended up starting the game over again.

I also have enemies not doing anything in battle... I was skipping my turns without attacking them and after one full round they stopped attacking and now they just stand there...
