Welp, so begins a new project and so begins a new series of annoying bugs that make me regret ever considering Game Design as a hobby...

Today's tyrant? Freezing.

I've been trying to figure this out for the last few hours and I'm at a total loss. Essentially, my game keeps freezing during battle (but the music continues playing) and so far it seems to be when a status effect is applied (either to an enemy OR ally) or an enemy is killed by an ability that targets "3 random enemies".

I'm not sure if any of the above are specifically causing the bug because I have applied/received status effects and used multi-hit attacks numerous times without having the freeze occur. It just seems to suddenly decide that one of those things is a problem because the freeze always happens when one of those things occurs, but I counted over 10 times Poison was applied over the course of me playing before finally it froze the game. If it was the status itself I could understand, but the fact I've been poisoned tons of times, but only a select few actually freeze the game is what baffles me. It's not just poison either. I have a character who can inflict Paralysis and sometimes the game is frozen after they successfully do that, however they have also used it numerous times with no issue. Same with the '3 random enemies attacks'. Most times it works, other times the game will freeze after the final hit (though seemingly only if the enemy dies).

I've tried removing and re-ordering my scripts one at a time but none of them fixed the problem and no amount of Googling seems to hold an answer.

My scripts are (in order):
- MOG_Battle_Hud_EX
- No Junk Boxes (Don't Know Author)
- Yanfly Instant Cast
- MOG_Damage_Popup
- Yanfly_Message
- Party Selector (Peridot)
- Yanfly Anti-Fail
- Minimum Damage Script (Don't Know Author)

As I mentioned though I have already removed most if not all of these and tested the game and the issue still prevails. Every time I think I've found the rogue script because the game hasn't frozen in a while, the game will freeze to prove a point...

I'm at a point where I'm about ready to quit RPGMaker for good because I'm sick of these stupid out-of-nowhere glitches that I can't figure out. I've wasted 4 hours on this already that I could've been putting into anything else and honestly it's soul destroying. If anyone can shed any light on this at all it would be much appreciated.

Sorry for the depressing tone, I'm just really done with, well, everything right now.
