[Xbox One] Characters stop moving and attacking (patch 7) (Almost game breaking)

Since patch 7 (it would be good if I could see the version number in-game) was installed, though I cant recall if this started happening before installing The Black Emporium, one or more of my party memebers will stop moving and attacking while in combat. If I select them the left analog will do nothing, they just cant move or attack. This might be also happening to the AI enemies as I have noticed some will not attack even when I have everyone attacking him/her.

I am playing in Nightmare difficulty and most of the time use the tactical pause. The only way to work around this is, if and when I catch a party member having the problem, I select him and jump. If I dont jump I wont be able to move. To be clear, this happens to party members even if I never ordered them to hold, and select clear orders wont fix this, only selecting to control them and pressing the jump button will I recover movement and attacks for that character.

Dont tell me to hard reset my Xbox One because I have already tried that even though it is not set to go into stand by or sleep or whatever, I dont remember what it is called.

Thanks for your time and patience.

    I just decided to play for the first time since early this year, PC version, and I'm having the same issue. It's infuriating. WHY has this not been fixed in 7 months?? I have a friend who bought it recently and is very frustrated that such an obvious bug with significant negative effects is in a game she paid $30 for. What is the problem here?

  • I encounter same issues in Xbox one, 

    But it's seem this never occur in PC early version(patch 4 or early), and I don't know whether it exist in PS4/PS3/XBOX360 version.

     it's seems Devs completely ignore this massive bug, it still exist after patch 11.  I guess such bug never fixed because no further patch for this game.

    Currently I got three way to fix this.

    1. Quit tactic mode and press bottun "A"

    2. Quit tactic mode and press RT

    3. Disengage

    For deep gamer and tactic mode beloved, this bug was completely unacceptable.

    I have the same issue, unfortunately.

    What I found to work, is when I spot my char from Tac Cam freezing, to just make them use an ability. Seems to do the trick while staying in Tac Cam.

    Still there, have to jump everytime it happens.., last time I was just yelling in tactical view why.. WHY! like I'd be still playing PS1 Crash Bandicoot.

    Makes custon Nightmare just bad experience, and I don't really understand why the bug is still there.

    Updated to todays AMD driver and the issue is gone, but now whole worlds animation freezes when I establish new camps.

    So, as my audio interface crashed before during Mantle test, it makes me think that its audio whats freezing the game, but I'm just guessing now.

    w/e game works now worse than in release I think, or it may be just DX11 as this is the first time I'm using it.

  • Since the problem exists for over a year now, no fix is given, right?

    If I knew this, I'd never bought this broken piece of.....

    Yes, this still happens in the game and, no more patches are planned for DAI. The best two workarounds are either to use tactical camera mode and direct the frozen character to attack again, or quickly switch to them and, make them jump or attack. Either will unfreeze them. I know that isn't ideal but, it's the best any of us can do.

    The year is 2017. Many battles have developed over the course of history, many in which warriors still stand still as if frozen in time. Mages and Archers falling to the ground, their blood pooling on the floor as they take their last breath. Why have we dared to "TRESSPASS" into this DLC. 

    Still having this issue, @patch 11. On the PS4 as well. It's really too bad thats this is happening without any fixes because this is really a fun game to play, I literally just got back into it because ive been craving a dragon age game.
