A Complete and Unoriginal Bug Report Thread (Report Bugs Here)

I was just informed that the "other" thread was only to be used for reporting language errors and was not intended for the overall reporting of bugs found within the game, so I am creating a new thread for the purpose of reporting and consolidating any bugs. A single thread will make it easier for the game developers to read through and address in a later patch, rather than having to sift through multiple threads.Please include which version, which patch (latest is 1.2), and which act you experienced the problem when making your report. Thank you for supporting CD Projekt Red's efforts in polishing up the amazing game, "The Witcher."English (US Version, DVD patch 1.2, not sure if that is original or optimized)ACT IWhen talking to Kalkestein on the bridge he mentions the Inn a couple of times as if he is still inside the Inn.ACT IIWhen I walk around inside Shani's house, her grandma keeps walking up to me and talking to me as if I have entered the house from outside the street. Sometimes I can't move more than a few feet after she talks to me, before the cut scene shows and she walks up to me again. I have to keep repeating the same scene and dialogue while I slowly edge towards the stairs.During a bar fight in the Hairy Bear Inn, I defeated my opponent, he fell down and then disappeared. I was stuck in fight mode with no opponent and no way to zone out or talk to anyone inside the bar. After walking around the bar and trying different things, I eventually had to reload from a previous save point.

English (US Version, DVD patch 1.2, not sure if that is original or optimized)

in the context of 1eyedking's bug thread:-original -> english translation of the polish game text-optimized -> english translation of the polish game text with some parts cut outthe english text/subtitle/voice-overs on the UK/US DVDs are actually a subset (a cut version actually) of the polish ones (of the _original_ mentioned above) ( see an example )so, in this thread's context mentioning "original" or "optimised" is useless, since only the _cut-down_ version is actually "officially supported"10x/LE: i just realised the similitude in your thread name to that of 1eyedking's... cute ... but it won't help make a better gameimho, calling it "Bug Report Thread (Report Bugs Here)" would be better since it will remove the confusion that you experienced in the first bug post

I have the US version with the censored files replaced with uncensored ones.1.2 & 1.1aI had loading crashes with 1.2. From reading the forums I got the impression that patch 1.2 was to blame so I uninstalled and updated up to 1.1a and started a new game, but the loading crash still happens. It only happens when I leave a house. I think it has happened every time. I eject the dvd to make the game crash to the desktop because it gets stuck in the loading screen, the red bar doesnt appear. I then start the game up and leave the house with no problems until the next time I go in and try to exit a house.I haven't updated to 1.2. The load times didn't seem all that different. The load times have been decent for me not agonizingly slow as other people seem to have.The following bugs happened while playing version 1.1aAct 1-Fist Fighting at the Inn - Geralt took out his sword, I couldn't fight. I had to load a previous save. Just happened once.-Reverend didn't give me the 5 candles needed to light up the shrine.-After talking to Mikul and accepting the crypt quest the crypt remains locked.I'm stuck with two serious bugs that block my progress EDITSince I was stuck I decided to continue my 1.2 saved game so patched from 1.1a to 1.2 and started playing. This time I got the key to the crypt and the candles. As I said before I was getting stuck in the loading screen when leaving a builduing and now I still am, but I get stretches were it doesn't happen. Before when I got the game and patched to 1.2 It seemed everytime I left a builduing I was unable to load. Now it only seems to happen whenever I exit the first Inn in the game. I then ran into another game stopping problem both Miluk and the Reverend dissapeared and I couldn't find either so I couldn't continue. I had to go back to a previous save point. I have a bit more to go before I get to that same point.

Weren't you the guy who said my thread's name was confusing?

 

[lifeisfun]

I want to report a pretty serious bug which is really really annoying cause it´s keeping me from playing the game...i have the patched 1.2 version and patched the witcher to 1.2 before i started playing for the first time.so : after the fight with the professor and azar at the tower in the swamps (after a little time the professor throws down a bomb and both of em flee through a portal) and the picture with the order of the flaming rose- scoiatel battle thingie and story comes it says in the folowing loadscreen that it wasnt able to load the module into temp something an i can only press ok and abort and both buttons send me back to the main menu ........... this really really sucks cause i was kinda exited about finishing act 2 and then the next module cannot be loaded -.-

 

[Licaon_Kter]

there are some graphic bugs with plants growing on the houses, or flowers on the housse windows: they're showing up through the fog when it's raining

Where to begin... ok....Act IIQuest to get wine for conrad still in journal despite conrad no longer being available at the innIf you decide not to turn Coleman in to Ramsmeats gang for conspiring against salamandra(whichmakes no sense since ramsmeat hates salamandra) he comes back broken and when Thalerrefers me to Coleman to ask about Berengar, Coleman has no new dialogue. If you are escorting Gramps, and you find out hes a cannibal, if you ask him about it, you cannotfinish the escort mission and gramps dissappears for good.I proved both Vivaldi and Vincent innocent without any proof. I avoided Raymonds house till I did allother quests.If you tell Vivaldi he is innocent, you stop being a friend of the Order and lose access to the Ordersmerchants.Vivaldi sells both books that Kalkstein requests.Plants picked at the same time dont repawn at the same time. Some dont for a VERY long time, others almost instantly.Sometimes in barroom brawls, I stop being able to throw a punch and just get stuck in a ducking motion,the only way to fix it(or at least end the fight) is to spastically start pressing both mouse buttons at the same time.And eventually unanimated punchs happen. A real mess.I've also had crashes doing alchemy, quicksaving AND loading a new area...

already write this in another thread:ACT IIIwhenever i try to enter triss house, the chapter "resets", meaning it shows the first cutscene of ACTIII and then the game freezes.This is a serious game stopping bug since you have to talk to triss in her house in order to progress in the main quest!using patch 1.2 english version

Where to begin... ok....Act IIQuest to get wine for conrad still in journal despite conrad no longer being available at the inn

did you give him the wine or not?

If you are escorting Gramps, and you find out hes a cannibal, if you ask him about it, you cannotfinish the escort mission and gramps dissappears for good.

that's not broken... i did not escort him, i just found out he's the cannibal... talking to him he said he doesn't need my help, then he goes home...(so i can't acces that quest) ...looks ok to me..

I proved both Vivaldi and Vincent innocent without any proof. I avoided Raymonds house till I did allother quests.

you just say to them that they're innocent....also you say your opinion might change at a later time...you're still suspicious mostly

If you tell Vivaldi he is innocent, you stop being a friend of the Order and lose access to the Ordersmerchants.

that was understandable, but since i did nothing bad directly to the Order i agree this is not that logical

Vivaldi sells both books that Kalkstein requests.

i did not buy them from him, where those expensive? i don't think this is broken, also "AsurSulfur" or whatever the book is called can be found somewhere in the swamps...

Plants picked at the same time dont repawn at the same time. Some dont for a VERY long time, others almost instantly.

different flowers, different cycles...i think this is "by design" it's ok by me, you can pick up alot of flowers pretty easy anyway

Sometimes in barroom brawls, I stop being able to throw a punch and just get stuck in a ducking motion,the only way to fix it(or at least end the fight) is to spastically start pressing both mouse buttons at the same time.And eventually unanimated punchs happen. A real mess.

and i thought i was just plain dumb...i got alot of those..and except the first fighter in Vizima Outskirts...i did not get any chance to punch anyone else...

 

[MarketTroll]

this should be good....

Where to begin... ok....Act IIQuest to get wine for conrad still in journal despite conrad no longer being available at the inn

did you give him the wine or not?how do you give something to someone no longer there???? Did you even read what I wrote?

If you are escorting Gramps, and you find out hes a cannibal, if you ask him about it, you cannotfinish the escort mission and gramps dissappears for good.

that's not broken... i did not escort him, i just found out he's the cannibal... talking to him he said he doesn't need my help, then he goes home...(so i can't acces that quest) ...looks ok to me..OK, why would you say its not broken if you DIDNT EVEN TRY WHAT I DID? That makes no sense whatsoever.

I proved both Vivaldi and Vincent innocent without any proof. I avoided Raymonds house till I did allother quests.

you just say to them that they're innocent....also you say your opinion might change at a later time...you're still suspicious mostlyNo, the quest was REMOVED. Again, you didn't bother to read what I wrote.

If you tell Vivaldi he is innocent, you stop being a friend of the Order and lose access to the Ordersmerchants.

that was understandable, but since i did nothing bad directly to the Order i agree this is not that logicalExactly

Vivaldi sells both books that Kalkstein requests.

i did not buy them from him, where those expensive? i don't think this is broken, also "AsurSulfur" or whatever the book is called can be found somewhere in the swamps...There is supposed to be only one copy, so its a bug.

Plants picked at the same time dont repawn at the same time. Some dont for a VERY long time, others almost instantly.

different flowers, different cycles...i think this is "by design" it's ok by me, you can pick up alot of flowers pretty easy anywayI'm talking the SAME EXACT type of flower SIDE BY SIDE, one respawns almost instantly, the other takes days.

Sometimes in barroom brawls, I stop being able to throw a punch and just get stuck in a ducking motion,the only way to fix it(or at least end the fight) is to spastically start pressing both mouse buttons at the same time.And eventually unanimated punchs happen. A real mess.

and i thought i was just plain dumb...i got alot of those..and except the first fighter in Vizima Outskirts...i did not get any chance to punch anyone else... Yeah, very strange and sad

>how do you give something to someone no longer there???? Did you even read what I wrote?so...you did try at different hours?

Yup, the guy in question leaves when you get him to tell you about louvarden(i believe thats him)and he never comes back, and the quest never ends

>>that's not broken... i did not escort him, i just found out he's the cannibal... talking to him he said he doesn't need my help, then he goes home...(so i can't acces that quest) ...looks ok to me..>OK, why would you say its not broken if you DIDNT EVEN TRY WHAT I DID? That makes no sense whatsoever.it makes sense to me since i did it the other way around... he runs home if you confront him as a cannibal

yeah, I noticed he gave me a recipe whilst travelling with him so i went to every square inch of the swamp w/ himpissed me off cause i had no idea what broke him... but I finally figured it out...

>>you just say to them that they're innocent....also you say your opinion might change at a later time...you're still suspicious mostly>No, the quest was REMOVED. Again, you didn't bother to read what I wrote.my entry was removed later, IIRC, when talking to the elf guy in the swamps

I think it is meant to qork in a specific order and doing side quests first breaks it

>>i did not buy them from him, where those expensive? i don't think this is broken, also "AsurSulfur" or whatever the book is called can be found somewhere in the swamps...>There is supposed to be only one copy, so its a bug.looks like it's not: "The dwarven antiquarian hinted at where I might find the books I need.

( see the quest on entry the Wiki )

my bad then, thought it was a "mysterious text" kaulkstiens just lazy

>>different flowers, different cycles...i think this is "by design" it's ok by me, you can pick up alot of flowers pretty easy anyway>I'm talking the SAME EXACT type of flower SIDE BY SIDE, one respawns almost instantly, the other takes days.yes...but they're different anyway see..different plants...of the same species

hahaha... i see yeah

Diplomacy and HuntingAfter you kill Roland Blenheim, if you go to to another area (say to the city and get some potion)and return, his body disappears, and you can't loot the remains, preventing you from completing the quest.Vodyanoi AltarIf you store stuff in the altar, the next Act it's gone. The game says it's storage (on left side), so it's very misleading.Bleeding ShadowsExample 1Example 2Example 3

US Version Patch 1.3 with Uncensored Patch.Act IIII've just rescued the humans in the graveyard crypts, and helped the non humans escape from the bank. Siegfried now calls me a traitor, but his order merchants sellse to me(even though the fat guy to his right says i can't buy from them) The dwarven trader next to the dwarven smith will not sell to me as they say i am not friends of the non humans.This is in the temple district.So, the Order hates me, the non humans love me, but i can't buy from the non human trader, but can from the order trader.And Geralt thought he was confused before...

UK Version / Patch 1.3Chapter I: She's No Early Bird questWARNING: SPOILERS!!!===================At 20:00 (8pm), rescue Vesna when the bandits appear. Then get her home. You should be able to get her home around 20:30.Ask to meet her again next day at sundown.But now, instead of going into the house, Vesna immediately starts walking towards the mill (at slow pace). But when she gets there, there is no way to complete the quest. She just stands there and reminds you of your little secret, and the mill stays closed.At 23:00, she disappears again and the quest is gone forever.Workaround: take it slow and wait until 23:00 before you drop her off at home. Then she *will* disappear into the house and wait for the next day.
