[Quest Bug]Lord of Undvik - Broken Objectives and Infinite Loading Screen at Ice Giant Cave

1. Description: So when I got to Undvik and went to the ruins, I first went and saved Hjalmar's friend from turning into Ice Troll Stew. I think something messed up here because the "Find out what happened to Hjalmar's Crew" objective stopped updating. I followed and exhausted all the clues available, found Hjalmar's butchered crew, found Hjalmar, and got to the Ice Giant's cave but the objectives didn't change. Whatever I do, whether I wake up or sneak up on the Ice Giant, free or don't free the imprisoned crewmate, leads to an infinite loading screen. Strangely, I can still die during the loading screen. After about 30 seconds of the infinite loading screen, I get the "You have died, reload?."

2. Platform: PC

3. Intel Core i5-3570K @ 3.40Ghz, 8 GB RAM, Radeon 7850, Windows 8.1

4. Occurs every time I trigger the Ice Giant battle in the cave.

bump

With 1.05 patch, the issue is not solved.
Cd project red, really
You didn't fix this bug in 1.04 patch and 1.05 patch?
Do you really care about users?

Pretty f***ing bummed out this hasn't been addressed yet, especially seeing how you need it to complete a story quest. Whytf has this not been fixed yet?

 

[korzaaan]

Same story here.

 

[Reginthorn]

Real dissapointed that this issue wasn't resolved in 1.05. Please fix this CD Projekt Red. I really don't want to load a save file from a week ago and have wasted so much of my time. At least let us know you are aware of the issue.

The bug persists. It only doesn't occur if you fail to save Falan, but if you don't, the game is stuck in an infinite loading screen with no progres bar, just black screen and sound. It seems that for now you need to either hold out on completing the quest or skip Falan's part fo the quest and let him die. Please let us know if you're working on a fix.

According to players who had a save before saving the archer it doesn't matter, the game still goes into infinite loading. It seems once the bug gets you, it refuses to leave. Still waiting for a fix.

The first time I attacked the giant, I did it before investigating hte tracks from the camp (so without saving Falon), and the quest was completed successfully. Then I loaded an earlier save so I could do everything before meeting Hjalmar, and after all that the bug occurred. I have no way to test the bug case and check for reproduction rate, so I had to assume it was saving Falon what caused the bug.

In any case, loading the save from before reaching the archer is no longer an option for me, and since I've done every contract, side quest and main quest up to Brothers in Arms: Skellige, I am now unable to progress in the game in any way. Please, CDProjekt Red, I really love this game, but gamebreaking bugs are unacceptable after release. Please do let us know if a fix is coming.
