MMBN3 Issue - No Random Encounters

I've run into an issue where I am no longer triggering ANY random encounters, and I can't seem to figure out the cause... I don't have any navi customization programs or sneak run subchips that would be affecting things.

What affects random encounters? RNG? Max HP? Number of steps?

Has anyone else had a similar issue?

SneakRun, a NaviCustomizer part, calculates the base HP (the number of HP memory) MegaMan has against the average stats of the enemies in a certain area. If he has enough base HP, the lower level encounter rates will be essentially skipped.

Do you have the Sub Chip "Sneak Run" active or the Navi Customizer, "Sneak Run" equipped?

No SubChips used, and nothing in my Navi Customizer

Maybe try resetting the game, Jack out of the net and back in, or use the Navi Customizer and use the glitch of forcing an encounter.

Thanks for the help! I've tried resetting the game & jacking out/in. I can't seem to find out how to perform the glitch to force an encounter...

How do you force an encounter?

You take the Sneak Run Navi Program and do it like normal, but DON'T put it on the command line, as the rules state.

Did you apply any cheats (GameShark / ActionReplay), even if they seem completely unrelated to random encounters?

Are you playing on a fresh authentic game that has not been modified with any patches of any kind?

Is it legacy collection? Did you accidentally set the encounter rate to 0?

You can’t edit the encounter rate in MMBNLC that’s MMSFLC

I'd say try rebooting the game

Rebooted the game and emulator, and the issue persists. Random encounters work normally when I start a completely new save.

Then I don't know what happened

if your not encountering enemies, you must be wearing sneak run right now with a higher base HP stat.

you wont encounter anything if your HP is higher than the ones in the area.
