Ars Dimicatoria - bug?

[Nuker]

Hi, im in the middle of swordman from frankfurt quest. I stole the sword(nobody seen me) and tournament is starting, after intro cutscene(oaths) i can't do anything and city counselor(important one) says i did something wrong(not anything specifc) and tells me that im banned from tournament and quest ends by a fauilure.
Any1 knows what actually happenned, is it a bug or i did anything wrong?

This is my problem too. Did you find a fix?

Ya'll. Before you start the tournament, go get yourself in trouble and pay a fine. Preferably get searched for stolen items as well. That'll clear you of any "dishonourable acts" and you should be able to continue the quest without anymore issues.

If anyone is experiencing the bug where you can't equip the tournament swords against Menhard at the start of the quest chain, or against Menhard's friend later on, just make sure that your weapon slot 1 is empty, so the game can auto-equip the tourney sword.

Sadly, that did not work for me.

I found a reliable solution:

1. Wat for a full day
2. You will now have the wanted tag and see the red indicator with bars at the top of the screen
3. Go find a guard and surrender
4. Pay a fine for "stealing" (60 Groschen)
5. Continue with Menhard

Apparently, the whole sword stealing is utterly bugged, since my sneak is maxed out and nobody even awoke from my actions or saw me.

This quest is still bugged almost a month later.

Were you spotted in a private area after or before you stole the sword? Otherwise, how does one replicate that bug? I didn't have it so the quest worked fine for me.

Same issue. Any fix?

It's still a bug. They are adding hairstyles and still don't bother fixing their game. This was my game of the year, but the lack of support is pathetic. I am sure they are working on DLC, so that is far more important than the actual game. They won't get my money until this is fixed, and we’ll see if I am still interested by then. It isn't hard to toggle collision on a blocking volume mesh after mission objective updates.
