spoilers-wyrm's crossing is completely broken for me

[Mr. Man]

So I've been playing the game for the first time and it's been amazing. It's consumed my life and I want to play more of it. However I just reached wyrm's crossing and tried to get past the bridge. I've show'n the guard the investigation note and saying I have an invantation to a party and up to here its all fine. Until the bridge lowers in which I can cross but the rest of my party just stops. Along with this I can't interact with anything in that bridge section either. Loading and trying to talk takes like 20 seconds to load. I've somehow made it past and into the lower city, but Idk if this glitch will be very affecting to my play through bc theres a marker in that bridge tunnel area which I think is important and don't want to miss out on. Other ppl seem to be having the same issue but all the posts I see are from like a week ago and no updates so idk if I missed smt and theres been a fix but if not I hope larian studios fixes this. If anyone has any idea how to help that would be great thanks! P.S if they make an update or hotfix to the game that fixes this issue, would my current playthrough also update?

This is a known bug. Mostly triggered in Act 3 (not just Wyrm's crossing). Can be fixed on PC if you load the script extender and turn on the console. Then you just have to run a LUA script that seems to fix the issue.

And this fix is for pc?

Yes. You need to use the LUA command line, and I don't think you can do that unless you are on PC.

You need to download and install the "script extender" mod. Then follow the instructions in that reddit post.

For me turning off Dynamic crowds and dropping the graphic settings from ultra to high fixed it with only a minimal amount of latency now. Everything loads after about 10-20 seconds. It seems to be the Steel Watchers that are causing the issue with loading/speeds on my playthroughs. Anywhere there's specific interactions with them or around a ton of them it seems to be worse (i.e Wyrms crossing which has interactions with the one, the multiple just chilling and numerous cut scenes that take place in a *very* dense area)
