Game Freezes After Enemies Take Action Bug

Dear BitReactor and EA,

The game has been enjoyable from the features that you've programmed in, to the versatility of builds and scenarios. This game has sauce and I would love to keep playing more.

However, my biggest gripes I feel is that the game is poorly optimized at certain times. The most annoying of bugs I've encountered is when going through combat, the game will freeze at times during the enemies turn. For example, one of the B2 Super Battle Droids takes an action after a couple of other enemy units have made their move. Then, he would shoot a Rocket at Tel, who's right next to a Droideka in the second Encounter of the "Final Mission." After that, the droid takes burn damage from its passive DoT debuff, and then the game would just lock in animations.

This isn't the first time it's happened, but I have still been able to somehow bypass it. Sometimes, it would take 10 secs for it to process and then the game would just play as normal. Other times, it stays stuck for a minute or two, so then I would press the Pause Menu button, scroll through the menus and unfreeze my game.

This game is very good, however these little bugs that disrupt the flow and unfortunately lock me out of action feels kind of jank. You can feel like there's something contradicting in the game, somewhere in the code is most likely overwriting it and causing this weird animation turn action lock on the enemies, when it's trying to decide it's order of operations. 

I especially feel it specifically the most during enemy actions, like when I take a player action, it would freeze sometimes, but I hit the pause menu that would be my  hotfix for the moment, and I go "Okay, I can still play, who cares." But, when the enemies takes an action, their passives would still pop up, but then the game stays stuck after their last action for an indefinite amount of time, which would cause me to reload an encounter that I was close to finishing. That's incredibly frustrating and especially when I was min-maxing really well in my first try.

I play on GeForce RTX 4080 Super, with more then 32GBs of ram and I have a 7800x3D. I don't usually have difficulty running games, especially at Max Settings.  I've turned down the settings in this game and I still encounter that Action Freeze bug. I'd like to try Expert Difficulty with Beskar Mode enabled, but I'm afraid if this keep reoccurring, I just won't play the game anymore and I would just tell my friends to not purchase this game until these bugs get fixed.
