Many bugs and endless loading screens, any fixes?

[MTurner]

Please let me know if anyone has any solution to the issues below:

Blocker:
- After stealing from the millers house, (the one where the user learns to fight unarmed, pick locks, pick pocket and perform stealth take downs) I cannot diffuse the situation. I load in and receive the "hey you stole X" and I select the option "lets make a deal" only to have an endless loading screen. If I select the second option and tell them to "go away" and start a fight I then have the option "surrender" but then no surrender takes place. I fight until they're nearly dead and it finally allows a surrender and now because of the fight they want 500 coins. I pay. But that only deals with the one person, the rest of the house hold do the same thing. I need like 6K to diffuse this one situation.

Minor but annoying:
- Alchemy book is misplaced / not in view when trying to read it
- Henry still falls from the sky or is facing the wrong way / misplaced during cut scenes
- Parts of Henry can be seen through walls so NPCs interact with you or respond to your presence early
- During the lock picking tutorial I was able to pick the same lock around 5 times which gave me 1.5 levels in theft. I had to re-load a save prior to the lock picking tutorial and the box remained "open" despite loading an earlier save
- I've fallen through the floor of the world twice

Config if it matters:
No mods and verified the file integrity. Game runs at 55-144 FPS averaging at 75 with all settings on Ultra and DLSS4 set to Quality. i7-9700K, RTX 2080TI, 32GB RAM, 2TB M.2, W11 Home 24H2

As I said at the bottom of my post, no mods.

Is it your first playline? Apparently a second one seems to be still bugged.

The lockpicking at the miller's chest isn't endless - Henry actually says that he can't learn any more from that lock.

NPCs have been wallhacking since 1.2 - they also see corpses they shouldn't be able see.
Doesn't affect stealth at least.
It's a bit weird though when entering a shop and he greets you while not even being in there yet.
I think it's got to do with them making stealth a bit harder, but the only thing that changed is your noise level - so I guess if a trader hears you outside his shop he starts reacting to it with his greeting.
