Can't continue my main quest Brothers in Arms : Novigrad ..... Roche does not join before I help him with this one .... please patch the bug ... can't go any further right now !!!!
I agree stability of a game is a top priority but they should have more than one team working on fixing bugs in different parts of the game so there is no reason these quest bugs should not have been included in the previous patches. Even if they don't have multiple teams fixing bugs there is still no reason a bug like this should be constantly left out in every patch they have done to date.
Yeah this quest is bugged out.
Got the quest, went and did some other quests before getting around to this, started Deadly Plot then came back to do this and Roche never showed up. He's in his cave, but there is no way to actually get him to show up at the tree.
Pretty massive bug, I would consider it gamebreaking since it essentially ruins a major story plotline and stops you from getting the best ending for the game.

Thanks for your post, but I am still confused. Without Roche, the main quest: Brothers in arms: Novigrad is always regarded as incomplete. So how can we skip Roche for it? In fact, I really want Roche to reject me so that I can continue my story. T_T
Hey guys, I am also experiencing this same bug, and I also just found out that completing it is necessary for what I believe to be the best possible ending.
I contacted support and they just told me to load to an earlier save or continue without finishing the quest...
This is even more frustrating than it was before. We deserve an answer for this, I've put too many hours into this game to not have it unfold the way that I want it to.

I'm glad I read this as I haven't reached this yet, and have been doing quests in odd orders. Maybe the DEVS could just slip an option to talk to him (where ever he is) or ask him to meet you, etc. reusing a generic Geralt phrase.
One thing about Skyrim on PC I always liked is the fact you can open the debugger and force a bugged quest (in most cases) to either "appear" or update, or skip a bugged section.
Whenever I play games THIS large, I manually save every 15 minutes roughly just in case. I suggest others do the same as it can be beneficial in some instances to redo an hour or 2 of missions vs. waiting a month to see it patched.

Even if the fix takes a week, I just want some acknowledgement from CDPR.
To have their customer support tell me to reload an earlier save (impossible at this point) or continue without completing a quest that is required for the best ending is a bit disheartening.

I accidently failed the mission An eye for an eye. I didn't realize I was letting Ves die when I had to help my wife. Anyway, failing a mission isn't that big of a deal, EXCEPT when it breaks the game. I am now on the mission Brothers in Arms, and trying to recruit roach who tells me no because vess is dead. Thing is it won't let me proceed after getting his answer, it simply doesn't act as if i've talked to him at all. Playing on PS4. Any ideas how to fix this?

Yeah, I jokingly told her I blame her. lol But seriously though, this isn't cool. It needs to be addressed.
Same thing happend to me, what to do , have you gotten any help with it?
Well for me roach still isn't present at the tree. And reading here that he's part of the quest later on i really don't want to get ot that point and be disappointed. I'm still not that far into game but enough to not want to start again cause of it. It's true though i didn't do him right away i completed Triss' quest first and Radovid's then went to the Tree. Anyway i really hope they fix it soon. Didn't find any other bugs mentioned above.
solution: Ok so i just continued playing the game leaving the Eye for an Eye for when it's resolved.. thing is i then noticed a quest where you help Dijkstra with a certain quest regarding king Radovid ( trying to avoid spoliers) apparently you need to complete all quests where Roach is present for it in any way... i did that and afterwards i went to check the Hanged Man's tree again and lo and behold he was there.. so if anyone had the same problem, try to do all quests with Roach taking part it ( check the guide ) and it should work.
