i an having a similar issue as well
The only way i have found to fix it is too reload the save but its frustrating to do it everytime
I did put this mod at the bottom of the load order using mod manager and i haven't seen the freezing issue in a while for now but i am not sure if that fixes it

Thank you, I'll try it out and see if it works.

Did it work?

Seems to have worked. I'll make sure to keep my eye out if it happens again. Thank you

The unique survivors don´t spawn too.

I don't have an issue with that, increase your spawn to ultra and restart the game, your save or just start a new game and see if that works.

I see this problem in new games, wild survivors spawn but the ones that have a unique spawn don´t spawn.

do you have unique survivors turned on in settings?

Npc freeze during the attack and then die all the time, is a repair possible?

I'm playing on 41.65 on a new save and can confirm that changing the mod load order does not stop NPCs from freezing mid-fight with zombies. But I'm super happy that it works for some.

I have NPC spawn to very low, I've given every NPC Desensitized and Brave traits, and somehow one of my two NPC freezes from time to time when encountering zombies.

Not a big deal when I have to re-load the save though. Still love this mod so much and refuse to play without it.

I encountered that issue, its even worse when they froze at the middle of the stairs, normally what i would do is call them, and that would unfreeze them so to speak, but while in stairs, i have to push them down and then "call" them. Most of the time it would work, but if not, just log off in the game (quit to desktop/quit to menu) then log in again (continue).

yeah keep this mod as the last one, i was having a lot of incompatibilities but then it all stoped after putting it as the last one. and btw u dont need mod manager, just go to more at load page, deactivate it and activate it again. for fps drop/lag check around if u find a npc stuck in some furniture, happens all the time here. im using it in version 41.68 btw, cannot play without it, the game just gets boring after sometime killing zombies alone and making the same things to get what i need =P

I noticed survivors often freeze depending on equipped weapons.
Spears always seem to cause problems and other weapons if they break like boards for example. So if you manage to invite them to party just swap the weapon with them and give them something durable like a crowbar. This helps at least for some of the animation freezing but not all. About lags I noticed it causes lags often if they're in areas with too many higher fences and pathfinding causes problems like in Riverside East. Often they get stuck at closed doors as well.

You can jog or sprint into NPCs which make them play collision animations that may unfreeze them, but this doesn't always work.

It will work if you get in car or something that change your condition after you quit and load that save again
