I am not sure if anyone else has experienced this, but if you do, this worked for me.
I have installed the latest UAP patch, high resolution patch and the universal level cap mod.
From time to time, I will get stuck in the middle of turn based combat mode. It appears to be an enemy NPC getting stuck in processing it's turn, or one of my followers. Basically, after I press the next turn button, the game gets stuck processing the next turn.
This particular issue really hit during the rat clearing quest in Tarant.
I was able to solve it by running the high res .bat file and returning the game to it's native 800x600 mode.
I am not sure if this is related to the high res patch, but this appeared to have solved this particular issue in this case.
I hope this may help someone who finds themselves in a similar situation in the future.
Loving Arcanum so far. Great Game!
P.S. Playing a gunslinging technologist is definitely challenging!

That happens occasionally to me as well (I have the UAP patch and the high res patch installed but not the universal level cap mod).
When it happens, i found I can just go to options, switch to real time combat, exit the options menu (letting the combat run in real-time for an instant), then switch back to turn based mode.
Not a permanent fix but it's been working for me.
I've been playing a gunslinging technologist as well! Good times. I've been focusing on explosives, they really help in combat.

Yeah i just bash the space bar twice when it happens, it is a pain though.

Ahh, thank you guys. This is far easier then my own fix..lol :)
I too have found that, as a gunslinger, having a few points into throwing and explosives is 'da bomb,' if you will pardon the pun ;)

I had the same problem with the rats in Tarant, press the Escape key and go to Options, then select the Default Combat Mode. I changed my setting from Turn Based to Real Time and it worked.

to avoid getting these in the future, select Fast Turn Based

The problem with the Rats in Tarant can be avoided if you close the doors after entering the halls. Apparently, the Game calculates every singe NPC moving turnbased one after another in Tarant if you don't, which leads to those seemingly endless turns.
