Ever since the update, if a companion is on the auto function and no command is given to that companion during selection, then once everyone else has finishing choosing their commands, there is a long pause before the combat is played out.

If no one keeps a companion on auto, this long pause does not happen.

Can KI remove this awkward long pause from the game?

Based on the silly way they act on auto / KI should really just remove this function

Or rework it where they actually do things in an intelligent manor

I actually use auto companions on my musket and buckler, and it works fine, sure they act silly at times, but keep it the way it is.

I'd just recommend not to use automated companions because most likely more people will NOT use automated companions. So if you keep experiencing this problem just keep the automated companions off for a while and by a while i mean about 5 days or so. Hope this helps.

It doesn't matter if I choose to use auto companion or not. It does this if anyone in the group uses the auto companion feature.
