Characters freeze during combat in Descent DLC

I am experiencing a bug in the Descent DLC that regularly affects combat.  It does not happen every combat, but regularly enough that I would estimate that it happens every one in five major combats. I always play in Tactical Camera, and this is where the bug happens.  

Occasionally a character will freeze and not respond to any commands at all.  They will not attack.  They could have a queued up waypoint, but will refuse to do that. 

The only way to solve the problem is to switch out of Tactical Camera and control that character manually.  However, even this is not enough.  The character will not move or use abilities when you first take control.  You have to "jump".  The character will quickly hop and you will regain full control.  You can even safely return to Tactical Camera at this point.

I am playing on an XBox One with the latest patches.

    I'm having the same problem, but throughout the game. Characters just lock down and stop doing anything. The temporary solution I found is selecting the character and hitting the jump button (I do play on PC, so it might not work for you).

    It doesn't always work, with results in currently me playing the Descent with only one character. Blackwall draws fire, locks, dies. Cas locks, dies. Sera doesn't even enter combat, is locked, and usually dies. It basically renders huge combats unplayable, or requires a lot of reloads.

    It is a VERY annoying thing. I hope it can be fixed in a future patch.

    I also have this problem. I'm on PC. I heard lunge and slash was bugged, so I disabled that for Cassandra and Blackwall. My biggest issue is the Bull because this pt I take him everywhere.

    BTW, this is not location specific. It seems to happen anywhere.

    I've been having the same issues throughout the game (I don't even have the Descent DLC yet, so it's not that). Seems to be the warriors that freeze up, I have to take control and make them jump, and they work again. Occasionally it happens to an enemy as well.

    I'm on a Windows 7 PC, using mouse & keyboard.
