Characters Freezing

Are you experiencing any other issues with video freezing/sluttering? If so make sure you have the latest drivers installed. 

I´m having the same issue. Characters are completely frozen from the moment they attack the envy demon. 

I´ve had no technical problems like freezing or sluttering before. Also I updated to the latest drivers before playing the game.

Anybody know of a fix for this one?

I've noticed the companion combat AI is very glitchy in general and requires micromanagement especially the tank will stand still and never move, taunt or attack since it gets stuck in shield wall mode.

I've noticed every now and then that I'll see random frozen NPCs in villages/cities with their fists on their hips, posing like their Superman. It's kinda funny at first, but it ruins the mood of the game after a while when you start seeing it happening in every village/city. Here are two pics of NPCs who are statues of Superman.

I am also having this problem....it never happens during any other part of the game. Just when my character begins the fight with the envy demon. Please see the attached hyperlink to see a screenshot. It is very frustrating.

Envy Demon Fight Freezing 

I believe this to be a widespread, cross-platform problem involving both Inquisitors and Companions over a wide variety of combat situations.  It recently froze two of my Companions at once during a fight with the Fereldan Frostback.  Not good timing for that.  😕mileysad:

It should be noted that all movement and directed efforts stop: no WASD movement, no tactical movement, no directed firing.

I believe many of us would be very grateful if BioWare fixed this bug as there is no possible player-side workaround.

I think I've found an always works workaround on PC: hit the jump button.  I'd be grateful if others could test this.

I've done an entire playthrough and this problem never recurred in any other fights, it was only in the envy demon final fight, exactly like the description. Re-loading from an earlier save did not fix it. It was a very strange bug, like the sounds of attacking and using abilities and jumping played, the effects happened - enemies took damage, but the party characters stayed frozen, like animations were somehow de-linked or something. 

on pc, exiting tactics mode and press jump works to unfreeze.

I would have expected bioware to have solved this problem by now.

I get freezing characters allmost every fight in tactics mode (wich i happen to use a lot).
