Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Bugs & Technical Problems Battle Won't Go

I got to the final battle. I walked in the normal way, had a brief conversation with Bishop Alexander, and then it said the battle started, and everyone seems ready for it, but... nobody's doing anything. The turn indicator seems to indicate that it's Ifan Ben-Mezd's turn, but I can't make him do anything. I can quicksave, though. Here's my savegame. I don't know how useful it will be since I can't reproduce the issue from before walking in.

I'm not looking for a solution for me. I already reloaded an earlier save and just went through the ~2 minutes of stuff I lost and went back in (didn't run into the problem the 2nd time). I'm just posting this here in case the devs can get some sort of useful information from the savegame as to why nothing's going on, despite it probably missing the most important piece of the puzzle.

Note: I have tried restarting the game, but no matter how I load the linked savegame, it's the same result.

That sounds similar to the problem a number of people have reported with both rain and freeze active at the same time: a character being able to move at 0 AP but unable to do anything useful and the turn never ending as a result. I'd hazard a guess it's the same thing, and a reload from an earlier save seems to be the only fix at present.

I'm slightly wary of that area in general, though: there seems to be a number of bugs that have been observed there.

Thanks; I created a bug report for this, so someone can take a look at the save.

Can't move. It doesn't even look like it's my character's turn. Ben's hotbar is all dimmed, like you'd see when it's an enemy's turn.

Sounds like you've discovered an entirely new sort of annoyance! :o

I guess until it's fixed, frequent saves are the best way ahead. Probably the most useful thing I learnt from my time playing Oblivion!
