Game sometimes eats an entire action for no reason?

[TripSin]

Anyone else noticing this? It's SUPER annoying and frustrating and it happens pretty frequently for me. Am I just misunderstanding something?

For an example, my Camellia has the spell Bull's Strength it says the casting time for it is a Standard Action. I make my move of 30m (I have the option set so that it automatically interrupts your movement before your standard action also just in case). I click Bull's Strength icon, then I click on her - nothing happens and she can't use any of her other standard actions as well (e.g. can't use her other spell like Bless instead).

Am I missing something or is my game just bugging out?

Thanks for any enlightenment.

yes, it is frustrating. It happens very often with healing spells too.

youre not misunderstanding. its a bug. broken tb combat basically. Lots of issues. If you are not prone, and within a basic move from your target, you should be able to cast and move to the PC and complete the spell within that PCs turn. SOME spells require you to not move at all, but i know thats not what you are referring to. Its a bug.

Yeah, I've noticed that as well :( :( :( If I recall correctly, I think it also eats up the spell cast too without even casting it so not only do you lose the action, but you lose a spell cast for nothing.

It's so extra frustrating because I REALLY want to like games like this. I had the same problem with Owlcat's other Pathfinder game, Kingmaker, which was even buggier than this on release. It's like I want to love your game, but there are just so many faults :(

Constantly happening when i cast any touch spells. Losing actions on charge, too. Seems to be happening more frequently, or maybe just because I have a full party now, I notice the bug more.

Aw, man, this is really unfortunate because losing an action can be a really big deal sometimes and it's just super frustrating anytime it does happen, which is pretty commonly...

It's weird how I've seen a few people saying they haven't really been experiencing any bugs and I'm like, "are we playing the same game!?" Maybe because they're doing RTwP instead of turn based mode? Man...

Just tried to do the tarvern defense fight.

Holy. ♥♥♥♥.

I'm done with this game. Into the uninstall pile it goes. The amount of actions it ate up is so ridiculous. And how does it make sense for Irabeth to be doing NOTHING this entire fight?

If any Owlcat devs read this post, please know that I loathe you for subjecting me to this poorly made experience.
