GMS Expedition - combat & dialog at same time - cannot continue

[ikrananka]

On the GMS Expedition quest I experienced the following issue.  When entering the Dining Room in stealth mode, I approached the Raider's Leader and was spotted.  This initiated BOTH combat (with initiative results displayed for all the Raiders) and dialog with the Leader.  The cursor changes to the hourglass and when I move this over the only available dialog option, it becomes highlighted as one would expect.  However, left clicking the mouse has no effect and there is now no way to continue either the dialog or the combat.  Only solution is to quit/kill the game.

Does it happen every time you approach them, or was it a one-off? If latter, then that's most likely a known and rare bug that's caused by some very unfortunate timing (combat and npc dialog should never happen at the same time; however, combat *can* interrupt the player when they're using computers and such, so there's a bit of a distinction there), and sadly there's not much we can do about it at this point in time.

I had a Quicksave at the time and every time I loaded and entered the Dining Room the problem would occur.  However, I overwrote that save a while back.  Today I loaded an earlier save and worked my way back to the Dining Room encounter.  I saved it just before entering the Dining Room, as before but this time a manual save and not a Quick Save, and upon entering the room in stealth the combat & dialog coinciding bug happened again.  However, when I restarted Underrail and loaded the save I could NOT replicate the problem no matter how many times I reloaded the save.

So, this sounds like the rare known bug that you mention.

I've managed to move past this so no big deal - just my luck that I encountered the problem.

I checked the save you uploaded, and also did some of my own testing, but to no avail. The reason we haven't fixed it yet is precisely because it's difficult to consistently reproduce, but then again it's sufficiently rare that it's not really a high-priority issue.

Oh well, thanks for the save anyway.

Dang - I wish I hadn't overwritten the problematic save.  I'll be more diligent in the future.
