Combat freezes during enemies turn.

Hi, after starting my second character, a melee half-ogre, combat hangs on the enemies turn, I can still click buttons but nothing happens. Since you cannot save during combat, I keep losing progress. Is this a know bug with a fix? Any help would is appreciated.

 

What patches and mods have you got installed? If none then I suggest grabbing the official patch then Drog's unofficial patch, that will remove nearly all known bugs.

 

This is the patch you're talking about, right?

Yes that is correct.

 

Try tapping the space bar twice, to toggle realtime combat on and off; that fixes the problem for me.

 

that fixes the problem but at the cost of giving the enemy mob(s) a full free turn & the amount of hit they can pull out in this milliseconds in between your double spaces.

I think the nature of the problem is having some other hostile mobs around who are close enough to have a noise check for your movements and attacks/spells, but far enough not to engage.
