Quick answer: Dungeon Settlers officially confirms real-time combat with pause. For auto move, fast mode, and enemy chase reports, pause safely, identify the exact UI state, and do not assume an unverified toggle or fix.
Troubleshooting
Recognize the symptom before trying a fix
Each section preserves the player’s search wording, separates the one confirmed pause action from unverified controls, and avoids turning a guess into a fix.
No auto move
- Symptom
- Symptom text: “no auto move.” The current source set does not document an auto-move setting, default state, keybinding, or whether this phrase describes intended behaviour.
- Safe action
- Verified action: use the game’s real-time pause feature to stop and inspect the current party, target, and UI state before committing to a fight. This supports observation and planning; it is not a confirmed auto-move fix.
- Evidence limit
- Do not claim a toggle, menu path, or keybind until a dated first-party or verified in-game reference names it.
Always Fast Mode
- Symptom
- Symptom text: “always fast mode.” No official material in the current source set names a Fast Mode option, its icon, its speed values, or its intended behaviour.
- Safe action
- Verified action: pause combat at any moment and compare the on-screen state with the current build. Use the pause state to prevent further action while you identify what is actually displayed.
- Evidence limit
- The page cannot say that pause changes speed, restores normal speed, or fixes a Fast Mode issue; those outcomes are unverified.
Enemies always chase you
- Symptom
- Symptom text: “enemies always chase you.” Steam confirms tactical combat and enemy traits or patterns, but does not publish pursuit, disengage, leash, or aggro rules.
- Safe action
- Verified action: pause, read the immediate combat state, and avoid treating a single enemy response as a global rule. The official description specifically frames pause as time to think strategically.
- Evidence limit
- No current source supports an aggro reset, safe distance, retreat rule, or enemy-specific counter. Do not publish one as a fix.
The one confirmed control baseline
The official Steam description says combat happens in real time and can be paused at any moment to think strategically. That is the only specific control behaviour in the current first-party source set. It is useful for safely inspecting a confusing encounter, but it does not document every movement or speed control.
For a changing Early Access game, compare any in-game result with the current official store listing and dated developer material before treating it as a repeatable guide. This page will add detail only when that evidence exists.
Why symptom wording matters
“No auto move,” “always fast mode,” and “enemies always chase you” are search phrases, not verified in-game error messages. Preserve the wording so players can recognize the question, but do not promote it into a confirmed bug name, setting label, or game rule without evidence.

What to capture before reporting an issue
Record the build version, platform, exact text or icon, the activity in progress, and what changed immediately before the symptom appeared. A screenshot or short note is more useful than a guessed fix, particularly in an Early Access game where UI and behaviour can change.

When the safe check is not enough
If pausing and reading the current state does not clarify the issue, use the official Steam page and its current community or support paths to check for dated information. This fan site will only add a platform-specific fix after it can be traced to a source and verified against the relevant build.
