Motherthread - Quest problems
As I have seen some double posts regarding quests that cannot be completed properly I opened this thread. You can always add a quest bug you found in the game by repying to this post - just try to not double post, it's annoying and doesn't help the dev team to sort stuff out. I'll try to enlist any newly found ones after you posted them here. Thanks.
No spoilers.
Cutscene not loading / stuck inside an infinite loading screen
- Side quest: "Kings Gambit"
BIG UPDATE:
I and my friend tested the quest using save games without using the beard & hairstyle DLC set. The one without the DLC worked just fine, the one with the DLC activated didn't - neither on my PC nor on his machine.
Unable to create a quest item in alchemy / "Quest item" alchemy option missing
- Witcher Contract: "Mysterious Tracks"
- Witcher Contract: "Muire D'yaeblen"
Unable to reach a quest location
- Treasure Hunt: "Viper School Gear" [door closed, can't open it]
- Main quest: "Blindingly-Obvious" [jump required - jumping isn't possible in combat mode]
Gamebreaking freezes [might be for Nvidia users only; didn't occur to me as I'm using a R9 290]
- Side quest: "The Whispering Hillock"
- Side quest: "A Favor for a Friend"
A.I. stopping
- Side quest: "Missing In Action"
Unable to start / end the quest
- Side quest: "Temerian Valubles"
- Treasure Hunt: "Deserters Gold"
- Treasure Hunt: "Dirty Funds"
- Main quest: "Novigrad Dreaming" [trapdoor cannot be opened]
- Witcher Contract: "Phantom of the Trade Route" [cannot be completed as the quest NPC is dead]
No location shown on minimap when following the quest
- Treasure Hunt: "Freya Be Praised!"
- Treasure Hunt: "Shortcut"
Quest character not dying / lying on the ground
- Side quest: "In the Heart of the Woods"
[quest is done, but every time I enter the village the antagonist stands there and attacks me with his sword - I can fight him, resulting in him losing the fight; problem is: he isn't dying completely; his name over the head is still being displayed ("Sven") and I can't leave combat mode unless I flee]
Unable to open a loot chest / no key dropped
- Treasure Hunt: "Blood Gold"
Unable to fast travel after picking up the quest
- Witcher Contract: "The Mystery of the Byways Murders"
Quest object fails if you leave a certain area / quest won't update anymore
- Main quest: "Count Reuven's Treasure"
Unable to end the quest successfully although all objectives have been accomplished
- Side quest: "The Cave of Dreams"
- Side quest: "Empty Coop"
Unable to complete the quest if its objects aren't accomplished in the given order
- Witcher Contract: "The Creature from Oxenfurt Forest"
- Side quest: "Novigrad: Closed City"
- Treasure Hunt: "Don't Play With the Gods"
I'm not quite sure, but there are plenty quests from noticeboards in Novigrad and Velen that shortly after I picked them all up reappear on the boards. I never got any new quest log entries of them.
I guess those are all the quests which I have in my quest log but are not done yet - is this some sort of reminder?
Update on the dev status:
They posted on the forums that patch 1.05 will come this week including fixes for many quest problems. Let's hope they fix the detail & character pop-in issue, too.
