"If you don't have the bowman it should work" - Really ? how do you not have the bowman there then ?
Ahh, I thought you had to do it to continue. Thanks Vantrax, I will try to remember this when on that quest. Since this bug seems really game breaking, I don't want to risk getting it.
Problem is, for a lot of us - that means rolling back many many hours back into the game.
I for one don't want to go back - the last save before that i'm lvl 17 - at lord of undvik i'm lvl 24 - i am seriously not willing to roll back and do everything I did again, just because of this bug.
Esp since this has been reported many many times way before 1.05 was even on the table, and they did fix the gambit infinite loading bug, so why did they not fix this?
Or inform us they are working on a fix, no information regarding this bug has been acknowledged by CDPR nor has it been mentioned an fix is on it's way.
Tested under 1.05 on PC today and the bug still appears. I left the quest at the stage before you enter the giants cave and now returned to it hoping its fixed but its not.
Still when i wake up the giant one way or the other i get infinite loading screen and then dead. Still hearing the sounds arrows so the archer is still messing it up.
Not going to go back and not saving the archer because it means for me loosing like 20hours of gameplay time.

The lord of Undvik infinite loading screen before fighting the giant when saving both Folan and Vigi has been reported many times already. I m sad that they haven't fixed it witch the 1.05 patch but there is no point in constent whinings... So, until that they fix this quest, just put it aside as far as this isn't a storyline quest.
Quest went today perfectly fine for me - and I had that bug before. I restarted the quest from the very beginning - talked to the lads in the tavern in Kaer Trolde harbour, then sailed over to Undvik. Rescued Folan and released Vigi from the cage. No infinite loading screen, worked as intended.
On the downside, however, patch 1.05 somewhat killed the performance for me. While running smooth before I now encounter noticable stutters.

Oh, so maybe it's not to do with rescuing the archer. Other people have said on other forums that infi loading screens may be to do with saves made on previous patch versions before 1.05. Like if you start new game on v1.05 your less likely to get infi loading screens.
I tested a few scenarios with this bug, and i got past the load screen bug. I saved the archer and Vigi, i did not however give the nails to the madman in the ship. so for some reason it seems he has a bugged quest that causes the loadscreen bug. i got a feeling he was intended to give you some sort of aid in the fight but it might not have mate it in and remnants of that causes a problem.
Or it could be im just a lucky bastard

So can you restart the quest somehow through the console for example? Because this is my case probably, i have started progressing though this quest before 1.05 patch and when i found the bug i abandoned it and went to do something else hopefuly returning to it when it gets fixed but as it doesnt work....
Is there any other workaround?
