bugged encounters on the overworld map(?)

[Icedfate]

most encounters seem just fine but a couple of times, imhave run into weird bugged encounters.

the first one was an encounter says i was ambushed by the dorseys and i have options like to avoid it with a survival skill or sneak up on them.
if i choose to sneak up,on them, it loads up a map and there's guys and bloodbeasts and i can walk around and stuff.
the bug happens when i try to shoot one of the guys and kill him, it doesn't trigger the combat. i get the xp and the guys keep walking around ignoring me. i can go through the whole map picking them off one by one. even if i fail to kill a guy, he still doesn't aggro. . .
until, the very last enemy. as soon as there is 1 enemy remaining, combat starts, but then the game glitches out. i can't move my guys. i can't attack and the last enemy is on a square just off the edge of the map. the music still is playing and i can scroll around the map, but i can't move or take actions.
then, if i try to reload a save, the loading bar gets stuck forever at 99% and i have to alt f4 to get out.

this has happened twice, in the exact same spot, with the exact same encounter. it only seems to be with this particular encounter.



but then, i just got another , different encounter that bugged out. it said there were scar collectors arguing and i had the option to sneak up on them and when i did , it loaded a map with 2 groups of guys and they had these guys with bombs attached to their backs all around them.
i've done this encounter before with no problems, but this time, when i loaded up, my characters were frozen in place couldn't move. the weird thing is i could still switch characters and whomever i had selected was frozen in place and when i tried to move, the other characters would run in circles around the one i had higlighted.
i dunno how, but i managed to trigger combat to start, but again, nobody could move or take actions.
luckily, though, this time, i was able to reload my save.

i don't kniw why, it only seems to be certain encounters the game does this

Dev knows it, but won't fix it as development on Wasteland 3 has ended. You can read that up in their forums. Best advice he gives is exactly what you describe, load the savegame and hope for the best.

well, since it's a specific encounter, i know i can just use survival to skip it. i just posted here in the hopes that either the dev sees it, or maybe some other player encountered it and had a solution

Sounds annoying. I encountered one bug only and it was the 3 Irv Clones going for 10 Turns before I was able to take a turn. They just ran around shooting, throwing shrink grenades, and demolishing my group for 10 turns at high speed, then I got a turn.

But, I battered the door down with a club so I think they got as many turns as times I hit that door to break it. i.e. the game counted each hit as a turn of combat initiated, and when the door broke it ran the Irv's around for that many turns.

Kind of weird.

huh, i always made sure i have enough lockpicking to open every lock when i play, i max out lockpicking super early, especially because the book is found super early.
