[BUG] Family Matters, Can´t see horse tracks

Hello,
I have pretty big problem with quest Family Matters, where I have to follow lubberkin and find some clues at first house. I have to find bracelet, clothes and horse tracks. I found bracelet and clothes, but can´t see those tracks. I know where they are, but they aren´t showing, which is pretty bad, as I can´t continue in main quest. I tried restarting quest, reloading saves.. Nothing helped. Does anyone know how to fix it?

I remember following him, when he stopped, I looked at everything around the area, went back to "it", then he proceeded to next area. I suggest looking more closely at other things. Worse case, go back to an earlier save and try again. I've noticed on several occasions a mini-cut-scene hasn't initiated, but by back-tracking slightly, it'll initiate i.e.

Spoiler

with Ciri when she's with Bloody Baron after he get's grabbed by creature and taken to top of abandoned spire. I climbed up, looted 2 chests, but couldn't figure out how to climb to the top after wasting 5 minutes trying. I climbed down, went over by wall and cut-scene abruptly started where she magically jumps up top. Might be something similar going on with you. Try moving back a bit on path as you might have physically missed a trigger point.

Thanks for advice, but I guess I didn´t help. I tried reloading to point where you either kill it, or make lubberkin of it and I still can´t find it. Do you know something more?

 

[WillyDio]

I didn't have any issue. I made it a lubberkin, followed it to several places, thanked it and it was gone. It was fairly fluid and went smoothly. Have you watched any videos of this to see if you are doing everything identical?

Only thing I can think of that might be different is the order I did other quests and the overall info on the mom and daughter. I discovered the orphanage but didn't do the quests other than hide and seek i.e. no Johnny yet.

Try this as it just popped into mind, go into your "Quest" menu, select quest manually, move cursor over to it (center screen) and see if it skipped a step. I've had several quest entries "fail" because it'll say "go talk to such and such" but the on-screen updater takes you elsewhere, which if you don't catch, you'll fail what it skipped.

Check the quest and see if the yellow circle skipped a step in the quest log.

Yes, I saw some videos, did exact thing. Quest log is correct. I haven´t done anything with orphanage, started bloody baron right after I found Hendrik. I´ll try to kill it instead of making lubberkin, maybe that will fix it.

If you want it to live, maybe try other quests and come back to it. If you have a save before committing to the lubberkin part, maybe go to orphanage, get it to where you find the kids hiding, but don't do Johnny yet. Fast travel back and see if it changes.

I've also noticed some areas will turn up red, but due to being zoomed in with Witcher senses, the "A" button prompt won't appear. Need to release Witcher senses, then walk near item while hitting "A" button or whatever a key binding you use. Worth a shot as I really enjoyed the lubberkin being saved.

If you have a save file you can upload, I can try it with mine and see if it'll go past or not. If it does, I'll save it and you can go from there.

I'm guessing you went back to playing. I'm hopping off in 5 minutes, and the offer will last until then. I'm still on patch 1.03, so if you are running 1.04, dunno if that'll be an issue or not.

 

[Hermann6]

So I killed it. It was pretty hard and Baron wasn´t happy, but it skipped the part with horse tracks, so I guess it is fixed. Yeah, I´m playing on newest patch. Can´t upload any save file, sorry. Thanks for help.

No problem. Good luck.
