This pertains to the xaurip encounter after talking to the two fisherman in Anslog's Compass.  If the player is on the right side of the fisherman while talking to them (which is easy to do as you just walk straight down and talk to them), it won't auto-pause when the xaurips show up.  The reason this stood out to me is I had Fast Mode active, so those two fisherman ran to their death very quickly while my party just stood there. 

 

I assume it doesn't auto-pause because none of the xaurips are targeting your party.  If that's the case, fair enough, the player can always load the auto-save and re-position if they wish.  Just bringing it up in case it wasn't by design.  The relevant save game is entitled rogue_autopause.

Hello Stepout,

 

This is by design, since the fisherman are closest to the xaurips, then they will engage them first, not putting your party into combat. If you  set auto-pause to pause on enemy sighted, then that will pause the game before you get into combat. 

 

Cheers!
