Dialogue text with Johnny stuck on screen problem

[Foba_Bett]

Hey! I have a weird problem. Once I got Johnny in my head, he said something random at some part of the game, and now text is stuck on my screen. Here's a picture --> https://ibb.co/gM9pNLc
Reload, game restart doesn't help. When loading a save, he says same thing and it's still stuck. Only when I reload from like over an hour before it's fixed for a while, until it happens again. It's kinda distracting, when other dialogue appears, and breaks immersion when going through the city.
Anyone else has the same problem? Maybe someone fixed this? Thx for any help :)

Found solution on my own. You need to disable cinematic subtitles in options, exit main menu to the game, then turn subtitles on. Helped me, hope it helps you :)

Same issue, have to toggle captions on and off each time I load a save. Very annoying.

I was one that mention this, but now the problem return and is not fixing. I'm getting the speech and subtitle stuck even with optionss off! >:(

I have suspicion that his bug dialogue is triggered when save and loading inside V appartment. Cant anyone confirm it?

I did find a solution for this that seems to have properly solved the issue it is a bit convoluted though.

- Get the bug to trigger
- Find a mission where johnny speaks. (in my case this was gig: greed never pays)
- When johnny stats speaking quicksave when both line of subtitles are showing on the screen.
- Load the quicksave and proceed through the conversation and save.

This worked for me and the bug has not returned so far.
Hopefully this solves the issue for some of you.

Seems that the problem end up solving after some subtitles appear. Mine seems that got fixed again.

But something is triggering again, and I have suspicion that might be related to saving and loading in some specific location. What might be V appartment. I don't know when that phrase is suppose to be said. Didn't payed attention much to the first time Johnny appeared.

Reporting it to also have faced this bug. I just reloaded to before that dialogue came up, and avoided getting it to trigger. Then eventually it just triggered unintentionally but didn't stay stuck.

It does seem to come back but so far i´ve narrowed the cause down to saving and loading near the area where victor the ripperdoc, the afterlife club and your apartment is.

Visiting the area and not saving till fast travelling to another area seems to avoid the bug.

[𝕊𝕙𝕒𝕚𝕕𝕠𝕟]

Well, dunno if is about the location anymore. I save near the fast travel of kabuki market and while I was running, I got that feelling sick animation. When I returned to the save I got the annoying bug again.

[Daddy]

Found what seems like a long term solution bug is gone for good, may need to do this before the bug triggers, but has worked for me.

Fast travel to the Clarendon St. fast travel station west of your apartment.

Same happened to me after killing a cyberpsychos in the badlands cant get it t go away

Toggle off and on your subtitles to make is disppear, talk to NPCs that use the same subtitles, like the ones that you can call. Eventually will stop appear. What triggers it again, I'm not sure.

FIX: Just quicktravel (or go) to Claredon St. on the south-west corner of Watson.

The line is linked to the quest where you have to find Jacob Lamb's eye in a shady bar/casino - you did that before getting the Relic, right? Well, Johnny should finish his lines as soon as you get there and the subtitle should be gone for good. Just don't get too close to the bar; they won't be too happy to see you again.

Have fun and spread the word!

OK, I entered the Kashuu Hanten (dinner/casino) talked to Keisuke and choosed the line about the casino, what he end up giving me the eye. Johnny said a few things, but not exactly the words that is getting stuck.
Already finished the Gig: Jacob's Lamb's Implant, so I think this job is broken. Hopeful I won't have this bug anymore by doing what I did.

this happened to me when Johnny is talking about meth or something well after beating the game during a side mission, and regardless of toggling and un toggling the captions, I havent been able to get it to go away. at least toggling them on and off makes it go away for a minute or so then it reappears.
