Freeze (not a crash) in NG+ in Favor for a Friend

[Rootax]

Hi,

After 300+ hours with W3 on PC, first time I have this kind of problem. I play in NG+, simulated W2 save, nothing special. My game run fine, no crash... BUT, the game freeze after the s*x scene with Keyra. When she says "Know what they call that constellation in Zerrikania ?", it's freeze right there, one frame before or one frame after the camera cut to the sky. And it's a freeze, the music is still playing, the CPU still working hard, I can let the game in this state for hours, it doesn't crash. Just a frozen frame, can't skip, can't do nothing.

I tried changing drivers, check files integrety on steam, doing other side quests then come back, loading older same and going back to this point, etc, same stuff... I change borderless full screen to "true" full screen, this kind of thing, same problem... Windows 11 here, 10920X, 32gb of ram, 3090... I doubt it's a configuration problem. Anyone had this kind of problem during this quest/sequence ?

Thx a lot

I had no issues with that scene so not sure why this is happening (but I never played NG+ with the new version of the game).
With mods or without mods? If you ever used mods before, that might explain the issues.

I'm using Noweightlimit mod, and photomodeunlocked mod. Didn't encounter a problem with them during other runs. Funny stuff, the freeze happen if I sleep with keira, and If I just watch the stars too, so I really don't know if it's a technical problem, or a game "logic" one, like in the events succession. I tried to play with the addfact commands to mark the quest as completed but no success so far.
addfact("sq101_keira_sex_clue01")
addfact("sq101_keira_sex_clue02")
addfact("sq101_keira_sex_clue03")
addfact("sq101_keira_sex_clue04")
addfact("sq101_sex_with_keira")
addfact("sq101_keira_had_sex")
addfact("sq101_completed")

Ok, so, I finally found a somehow similar case elsewhere, and the solution was to delete the dx12user.settings, and dx12user.settings.bak file. New ones are generated at the next launch, aaaannnnnd, it passes the problematic scene. I don't know why it helped since all the others scenes are working, but it did... Happy, I can live in the Witcher universe again
