Can't load random combat encounter

Yup, I'm experiencing the same thing. Game is broken currently for me too.

Other than the first trip from Caer Cyflen to Caer Lem, there are no other random encounters that I remember. I purposely chose fast (and not careful) travel in order to trigger more random encounters, but to no avail. They just never happened.

@Ralph: You probably went from Tower of Magic to Caer Lem instead of Caer Cyflen after getting the crown, that bugs out the scenario. Unfortunately you need to load a save from before you leave Tower of Magic :(

You could also go back to Tower of Magic and travel to Caer Cyflen to trigger the cutscene manually, but your save file might be a bit wonky after that so I only suggest you do that if you absolutely don't want to load a previous save.

For the others, verify your steam files, it should fix the problem

I'm so sad I just ran into this bug myself when starting a new game to jump back into the game. I haven't done anything but the tutorial levels and trying to travel there I just get a Loading screen that never ends.

I uninstalled and reinstalled the game and nothing is fixing it.

• In what map / where exactly in the map did the bug happen? World Map
• How did it happen?  from Caer Cyflen to Caer Lem 
• Who did it happen to? Can't load random combat encounter 
• When was the save that you loaded made? Fresh from current version

I copied and pasted what was already written because it's the exact same thing.

On Steam: I went to validate and it said one file failed to validate so I tried to "Verify Integrity of Game Files..." one more time and "All files successfully validated" after that I loaded the game and went to the same save file and loaded it and it worked this time, the battle started!

Thank you @Tactical Myzzrym

Yep, I distinctly remember thinking I wanted to check out Caer Lem first on the way back to see if the Scavengers had come to set up some kind of shop there. Finding nothing, I left. Didn't realize that it would cause me to miss out on future randoms. I'm playing through a second time and avoided that and I'm racking up the randoms. Thx! ;)
