Battle won't end

[sjpaladin]

So I have run into this bug at least ten times now in the past 3 days. Its incredibly annoying. It occurs most often when using the arena, but it has happened at other times.
I kill all opponents on the battlefield, but the fight won't end.
I try using autocombat, nothing. I try using quick combat, nothing.
I have to load a save game or quit the game to continue.
Currently I am using two heroes so it is particularly annoying. I finish hero #1's combat, I finish hero #2's combat and it bugs out. Reload, and now I have the joy of redoing both fights.

I remember having this problem on Eador: MotBW, but I thought I had a work-around for it (quick combat?). With Imperium I just can't figure out how to get past it.

I have found that i just need to wait about 10 seconds before it continues. But there was also a way to use quick/auto combat, dont remember the exact sequence, but you need to get into the screen where you can choose if you should cast spells and such for the combat to resolve automatically.

maybe try to end the round =E, even if there are no enemies

I've ended the round. I've also waited more than 5 minutes for things to resolve. I'll try leaving it on the auto-combat decision screen to see if that helps.

could it be caused by various OS versions? what os do you use? i use wins 8.1 and although i ve got technical problems, i ve encountered this bug only few times, if ever

Its Windows 10

I encounter the bug all the time, it does however resolve usually as i said.

Generally it seems to be a timing issue, and also occurs more often if an attack would break a heros weapon.

So maybe playing more slowly and making sure weapons do not break might also help ;)

Also i didn't mean you should stay at the screen. I looked at it again and i mean you should just resolve the rest of combat via quick combat - at least for me its usually rather at the end of battle when this issue occurs as it occurs when having attacked often. So the quick resolve shouldnt hurt you too much. At least can't hurt to try.

I'll check on the weapon/equipment breaking, see if preventing that helps. It usually happens with my scout, so maybe its his arrows. Thos things break constantly.
