Game breaking bug or don’t understand UI?

[MightyMickey88]

I’m only a few hours into the game and enjoy it but something has happened 3 times now and I’m not sure if it’s a known bug that makes backstabbers unplayable or not.

When my Ranger with a dagger critical hits and enemy and slits their throat, my person engaged with that enemy becomes locked into engagement. I cannot click to disengage. I’m assuming it should auto disengage when the enemy is dead and I shouldn’t have to click to disengage. When I do click it, nothing happens but the character is now “active” and I have to pass their turn… also I cannot change the direction of any of their attacks while this is occurring.

i havnt encounter anything like that yet, but i do notice some purple icon replacing prisoner face icon sometimes.

Sounds like a bug but a screenshot would help. When you kill an enemy the person engaged with it should disengage, though if that person moved to engage already they don't get a second turn. If they haven't taken their turn yet then it should be as if the enemy never existed.

If you mean a magenta square where the portrait icon should be, that's just a graphics glitch.

I will try to get a screenshot next time as we play. I figure it’s a glitch but am amazed no one has encountered it as it has occurred everytime the animation for slitting an enemy’s throat occurs. Whoever was engaged with that enemy is essentially locked until another enemy comes and engages them… I am playing on multiplayer…

It’s really affecting our game though as it caused a friendly fire axe swing (since I couldn’t change the aim) and takes a main character out of the fight.

Here is a screenshot it just occurred again:

On my friend's screen when he clicks the character it does not show them engaged.

Yeah definitely a bug, might have to do with some sync issue in co-op, like one client not getting correct info from another. You should consider reporting it on the official bug forum.

Looking at that forum it seems this has been encountered multiple times. I gave the post an upvote.

Thank you for suggesting this. It must be a sync issue. When we save the game and reload the character can move again and is not engaged.

oh i notice some glitch related to positioning overlap (very often in tiltren skromkapp last battle) where those 5hp soldiers would stometimes overlap and stuck to each other, not able to move

i restart my game like 3-4times already, iv seem 2 of those 5hp soldiers stuck in position

i think if i remember correctly, spear push might produce that glitch as well. not 100% sure
