I've been informed that this bug is fixed and the fix will be sent to the game with future patches. Thanks for reporting and sorry for any inconvenience!

Sounds great and it's expected of a beta

Ok, I seem to be able to reproduce it now by doing this:

1. Have more than 20 troops (to force tactical phase to trigger), and attack another party. Right now I have only archers in the party, that may or may not be important.
2. In tactical prep stage, press F2-F3 (loose formation)
3. Press Ready

Actually, since I saved just before the fight, it always breaks now. Whatever I do, I found another party to attack, this problem appears.
Yep, save file got fracked apparently. Nice result after just finishing 250 in crossbow and starting to recruit troops

You should really take this bug more seriously, Taleworlds.

I believe that the game cannot be perfect to everybody (even to one person, there is always something they would like to change). I feel like some parts of the base game are really well done. A lot of other things could be implemented in mods (even though the more complicated mods can get really fragile, when you have no clue on what they are going to change next). I know for sure they cannot make it fit me perfectly.

What I saw of the code is readable, and I appreciate that a high level language was used. Makes it way easier to get into modding.

Being able to hook into the e.g. mission event loop and just do new stuff is great. Adding items also seems quite simple.

But then some other things seem really weird, like hardcoded multiplier values for onCombatHit xp gains... Ideally, things like multipliers that could (and should) eventually be tuned should be easy to reach and change. Here they are not even assigned a variable, there are instead like three values hardcoded in two lines of code. I would expect to be able to tune such things by just changing a constant (if other types of configuration via files/options is not available). It doesn't look modder friendly at all in this particular situation.

It is what it is

This is still happening... But there is no surefire way to reproduce it. You don't expect this to happen, so preparing to collect telemetry data is not a good way to catch it. You have to always be in that mode to catch this.

Wow, this bug is still open?

Yep I get it every day I play, sometimes twice a day.

Always involving a number of troops on my side that allows for battle orders before the battle. Never when there are fewer troops than 20 in my party. There is some race condition in the code.

Taleworlds, you show UI that allows starting the battle before something important (like maybe player controller for the battle) is loaded in. And then it is never loaded in, and we are stuck with only directional controls on the keyboard (functional keys do nothing, so I can't even tell my troops to take care of things), mouse sensor stuck in tactical command mode.
Even if the battle is won by my bots, I cannot exit the damn battle because Tab doesn't work.

Not saving the game before every battle is not an option anymore. Saving before battle used to be for carebears. Now it is for brave people, insane even, who are not afraid to take the chance that their hours worth of progress will be nullified.

Edit: ok, this is unplayable. Either fix this bug or at least, as a workaround, implement an option to autosave before battle, so I don't have to remember that.

I just had this problem for the second time. Really annoying, because there is no way to save the game. All the progress lost.
Like the OG report, I would say this may have to do with a race condition when pressing "Ready" while issuing commands in tactical mode.

Not cool.

Edit: seriously not cool, just lost 20 minutes of my time.
This does not just affect ironman mode.
There should at least be a way to save progress before being forced to exit to main menu without saving.
