Title: Can't Enter Overworld Encounters
Reproduction Rate: 100%
Blocker?No
Details:The wandering encounters are broken. The NPCs are either completely motionless, or are walking in place without moving. A few of them will walk in place for thirty seconds or so, then take two steps, and teleport back to where they started. You can walk right up to them, and they don't aggro on you or react at all, and you can't enter the scene. I tried exiting and reloading the game, as well as entering a town and coming back out to the overworld, this had no effect.
Steps to Reproduce:Walk up to a roving encounter NPC.

Confirmed. They are just standing there, doing nothing. Tried the Skeleton, Bandit and Dog. Nothing happens.

They are now working just fine for me now currently. Anyone else having an issue?

 

I’m NOT currently having an issue. The encounters are working fine for me right now.

 

Whatever was wrong appears to have fixed itself, they work for me again.

 

@Sannio - it would be nice if we could click on the encounter to trigger it (within proximity), rather than waiting around for them to notice and engage.

 

@Sannio It seems to be broken again. Some sort of intermittent bug?

 

And now they're working again. Maybe 5 minutes or so where none of them would activate. Also, the Troll in the pass was missing both times this happened, though that's probably unrelated.

 

same issue over monthes, around 1/3 - 1/2 of encounters bandits and sceletons, but also others, do not work
most times it happens after you just have done an encounter, end it and try to enter next found, even in a complete other area on the over land map

edit
from the point you got the issue: most enconters in all areas do not work again for a more or less long period!

Spam
(encounters are a good idea, but
- they should be able to be activated by clicking on the bandit or what ever
- they should NOT be activated automatically just by passing them, most time they are unwished AND they should just be an HINT on a possible encounter, so there is a surprising effect, what encounter you enter or even if there IS an enconter)
