Your whole party keeps responding
The away-return summary no longer leaves a living party member frozen or impossible to select.
Opening the return summary used to pause only the selected character. The party then switched control to another member, leaving the first character paused even after Continue. Turning the summary pages could repeat the problem for the remaining members and stop the group.
For a party, the summary now stays an overlay: living characters remain active while you inspect it and remain available to control after Continue. Paging or closing the report does not change character control, turn off Auto or award the away rewards again. Solo return behavior and normal defeat, revival and save-confirmation protections are unchanged.
