[Bug] All shopfronts in Kuttenberg locked and trespassed 24/7

[Boozer]

People have experienced this to varying degrees, some have it where the heavy-lock doors are just locked, but if broken into the shop interaction works just fine. There are some who've reported open doors but the shop premises themselves are private property and get kicked out. Either way, reportedly, if you bypass the door you can access the trader normally during open hours, if you're fine being forcefully removed or arrested. My game has both, where the heavy locks are locked and the shops are trespassed 24/7. Every shop besides the armorer for some odd reason, the armorer works fine, but it proves it's not on me.

I was hoping to enter Kuttenberg for the first time and go on a spree with the money I have accrued, only to be denied access from most of the town. I was able to shop at one of the tailors by bypassing multiple doors in the rear courtyard and breaking into the shopfront from the rear. This is the most common reported fix for this issue, assuming you are not trespassed, which I always am, where you can then unlock the exterior door, which I cannot.

I don't know why I wanted to spend groschen on anything valuable at this point, I have already been swindled for 600 by the old "Trosky blacksmith disappearing knights sword recipe trick"so I should've expected to be hoodwinked by these savvy Kuttenberg shop owners. They're very good at the "forcing you to break into the shop from the backdoor during working hours, not letting you haggle because of it, and then arresting you after the legal sale for trespassing" trick. (trying to rationalize this game's many obvious bugs like y'all do in a historical context)

This bug has been reported on multiple platforms so don't give me that, "it's your fault, shops have opening and closing hours, wait a few hours and then enter" - I know how this community is. I played the first game all the way through so I get it, and there is no way every shop (besides the armory which works) in a major town like Kuttenberg (the first major town you visit which makes this all the more disappointing) should be closed at 1 p.m with the shop owners standing at the shop tables ready to trade.

noticed that too..., some shops being locked during the day, others open. When you look thorugh a window in some cases you can even see the salesman at his place, so its probably an issue with the script unlocking the doors.

My guess is because there are so many interiors in Kuttenberg the script responsible for unlocking them at opening time fails to execute properly sometimes.

for me it was only one shop so far, bug reports needed i guess.

I submitted one on some website, so who knows. I saw a mod on the forums here say they were on top of the "Knights sword recipe" one too, and that was 3 weeks ago.

I encountered this bug in Kuttenburg for the first time as well.

There is a way to pass the tournament without getting any bugs, but I am not sure you want to play "unfair".

Just so we are clear, I passed the tournament with no bugs so I didn't need this trick.
