Some NPCs are impossible to talk to (Kenshi)

After about 30 hours of playing, I ran into such a problem. Or rather, noticed its presence.
While most merchants and unique companions, such as Beep, can be spoken to, other characters - tavern recruits, itinerant merchants, caravaners, gunsmiths, and guards - do not. When hovering over some NPCs, the dialogue icon blinks and you can try to catch the moment when the "talk" item appears in the menu and communication still occurs. However, this works in isolated cases
. There are no mods, but there is a crack. Gogov version, 1.0.57.
Moving the game doesn't help.
