More information.

I did get a notice that I'll receive this game when it launches later today, I'll wait for a few patches/updates to land first, of course, then I'll schedule this and see if I can FINALLY get past that one battle that always hung up for me in the original game.

What a great game it is, this one is next on the list after underrail.

there was a workaround i believe..

If there was, I entirely missed it. I did attempt the fight three times, each time it took roughly forty minutes before the bug locked the map up, so after the third go I just decided it wasn't going to happen. I did leave feedback at the time, yet heard nothing back on the matter.

Apparently the main reason he remade this game was he couldn't fix some of the bugs in the original and suspected that may have been due to (Flash) engine limitations.

But the story and pretty much everything else are supposed to have been improved as well. I didn't play very far into the original though and once I heard about the remake I never revisited it. I'll try this out tomorrow.

If I wasn't hip-deep into another game right now I'd be sorely tempted….that, and knowing the errors in the previous version, plus the probability of updates/patches for this newest version, well, I'm resisting!

Yeah waiting for patches is pretty much always a wise move, even with remakes. I see someone has reported some significant bugs on a Steam thread.

In one of the early battles I discovered an exploit of sorts. In this particular battle the bandits retreat after 8 rounds even if you haven't killed any of them. Enemies cannot open closed doors and also do not pursue you if they can't see you. They will attack through an open door but only if you're visible from the outside (if you turn the corner before they're in the building, they act as if you've vanished).

So if you send your entire party into one of the buildings and close the door behind you, you can win the scenario without ever being attacked and get loot from two chests as well. It is intended to be an easy battle (still part of the tutorial really) but surely not meant to be that easy and I'm more concerned this could be a problem with later fights.

Yeah daveyd, that doesn't sound like how the battle should operate, even at the tutorial level. I'm sure that will be adjusted shortly!
