That's odd, maybe have something to do with the game trying to skip repeated encounters if it only happens on repeat plays. Can you upload your player.log and player-prev.log files? Typically they're found in a location like:
C:\Users\[PC Username]\AppData\LocalLow\Blue Fairy Media LLC\The Exile of Aphrodisia (2023)
The favored way is via our Discord server, but you could send them as files to our relay email 3j2vkp2im@mozmail.com .
I see two issues with your logs files. On is a file not found problem for the file he Exile of Aphrodisia (2023)_Data/StreamingAssets\EncounterText/ominousRumblingsInTheHighPass/ominousRumblingsInTheHighPass_choose_scout.txt which seems very strange why that one particular file is not present. Re-downloading the game may help with that (save game files shouldn't be affected).
As for the others, it looks like your party was spawning Instincts Kick In events that should have been disabled due to your party's particular composition. Can you also send any save game files from shortly before that issue began, if you still have them?
I seem to already have that file in that location. Though weirdly I notice the path uses a different slash for right before EncounterText than all the others a "\" instead of a "/"
Do you want save files from before this instance of the issue, or from before I ever encountered this issue? Because I encountered the issue for the first time after continuing from where the demo left off, using the same party. (That time, the issue occurred near the end of the journey with the Praying for Sanctuary and Like Demons Do encounters, which both failed to load any text. On my next playthrough with a different party, I encountered Like Demons Do again, but this time it loaded perfectly fine.)
