Can't mount Roach after Fast Travelling.

Can't mount Roach after Fast Travelling.

So after reaching Velen for the first time I decided to go back and do some more things in White orchard. I fast travelled back and since then I have lost the ability to mount roach. I've tried running away and calling him, I've tried fast travelling some where else and calling him, I've tried reverting to a save that had the ability to ride roach and then fast travelling from that save, I've tried switching between keyboard and controller. Nothing. Every single time I lose the Ability. It's just gone...Anybody have any solutions? or should I just run everywhere until they fix this bug?

PS4 version here and yes, I've as well had the same issue. Not only could I not ride roach but, going back to Velen was impossible as well, due to the fact there were no sign post to fast travel back to via the map. Have a sneaky suspicion fast traveling to another local hence White Orchard/Velen. Yes there was an update or a change let's call it, that provided new dialog with a certain NPC when I did go back.. Which might have triggered said issue or just going back is causing this issue *shrug* who knows. Just wanted to chime in here and relate.

As well, I had to go back a few saves to clear the issue so nooo going back for me until this is fixed.

Awesome, intense and wonderfully dark, deep game play! wonderful work so far

Same problem on PS4, also under same circumstance, happened after forced fast-travel.. That;s the problem of a non-open world game...fast travels between regions is annoying as hell.

I'm using the GoG PC version but yeah. I'm really anxious to move any further in the game... especially since the horse is such an integral part to getting around the world...

Unmountable horse bug

Hello. I'll try to be as calm and civil as I possibly can be, hoping that i'll get a fast reply. I have been playing the game since the 16th (Got it early) and I put in a good 30 hours already......That was the first save. Some time later, I fast traveled back to white orchard from Velen and I returned to Velen again....one problem. Horse cannot be mounted. I call Roach, she arrives. No mounting prompt. I can't get on. Tried doing a lot of stuff. Restarted the game, uninstalled and reinstalled, nothing happened. The bug remained. There goes that save but that's okay, I love the game. I'll restart it again, no biggie. Now, i'm about 15 more hours and there it goes again. The same bug. I do NOT want to restart the game. I want a fix or a representative to tell me what to do, please. The horse is an important pillar of navigation. Regards

This happened to me once, when I was trying to chase the soldier that killed the guy carrying the medicine. I was frantically looking for a damn "Mount Roach" prompt but it didn't work. Thankfully, I saved before trying that quest so I didn't fail when I tried a second time. That time, I was able to mount Roach.

Sorry, double posted.

I am playing on PS4 and I also have this problem. Returning to White Orchard leaves me unable to mount Roach. I can leave the area via fast travel, where Roach will once again be working. So basically, Roach is broken in White Orchard after traveling to Velen the first time. Hopefully this is fixed soon as I would like to play in White Orchard a bit longer. Also, based on others descriptions, the bug seems to manifest in other areas as well.

I can confirm that this issue is still present even after the 1.03 PC patch. Hoping it gets fixed soon...

Would you be able to send us a save file? It could help us identify this problem. You can send it directly to me via marcin.momot@cdprojektred.com.

Thanks in advance!

Hello,
I've got the same problem, on PS4, and be able to "fix" it by launching the horses race mission in Crow's Perch, and doing a race. After the race, I was able to mount Roach again. 'Hope that will help some people here.

 

[mg47]

I also have this issue on PC(v1.03), I've posted a topic about it, but it seems didn't get too much attention, so I guess I have to report here as well.
I still can't find any solution, hope it can get fixed soon.

Hi, I've already launched and finished a race, but I still cannot ride Roach in White Orchard.

 

[viltuska]

Yes, same problem here. I'm on the PC and can't mount Roach in White Orchard.

Can confirm as working ''fix'' on PC (latest patch v1.03)

 

[mg47]

After patch V1.04, I still can't ride Roach in White Orchard, I've finished the horse racing like some others said, but it doesn't fix the issue for me. But I can use Axii to tame wild horses to ride in White Orchard.

I've just encountered this bug for the first time after 40+ hours of play (patch 1.04). It occurred immediately after fast travelling from white orchard back to Valen. I can summon Roach but cannot mount him. I haven't tried the horse racing solution yet.

I rarely ever fast travel and I'm kicking myself now for doing it but it was the only way to jump back to White Orchard from Valen.

Solved the issue by winning a horse race.

 

[digitalclover]

Encountering this same issue as well (PC v1.04). I fast traveled to White Orchard after the first Vizima scenario. After doing so, White Orchard is the only place I can ride Roach. Anywhere else, I can summon Roach but I cannot mount the saddle.

 

[ColdDasher]

GOG_PC_Patch 1.04. I can confirm that i have this problem too. Not sure if it happen after Fast Travel, but it happen right after i updated to 1.04.

Hi. I can confirm the issue as well.

I am running the GOG.com PC version. I had this issue after about 4 hours of gameplay with no patches. Since then I have installed both 1.03, and 1.04. I was able to fix the riding issue with roach in Valen by starting a horse race but am unable to ride roach in White Orchard. This doesn't allow for the completion of some White Orchard Quests.

Interestingly, my wife has an isolated save, (i.e. we each have our own manual save slots we update when we play), and she is not experiencing the issue. She is able to mount roach in all areas of the game including White Orchard and has never had the problem.
