Kuttenberg Tournament Bug

[Fleetwood]

This tournament is just horrible.

I entered the sword without shield+ freestyle events.

When I get called into sword without shield event I stand around and wait for 5 minutes for my opponent to enter the ring. I try running around, swinging my sword, jumping up and down, entering/exiting my corner, etc to get him to come and fight. Nothing worked. Eventually he stands up and comes into the ring armed with a sword AND shield. Whatever, I defeat him anyway. Then I wait for another round and it takes about 8 minutes for the opponent to enter with the wrong gear. Fine, I win. Collect my money.

On to the next category - freestyle. I enter my corner and wait for 7 minutes. I'm wearing heavy armor and using a longsword. Spectators yelling at me to put my weapon away. Opponent finally enters the ring and he's armed with...nothing. He decides unarmed is the way to go. So he loses, obviously. Next round, I'm waiting for my opponent. I do the usual running around into and out of the corner trying to trigger the opponent to enter and NOTHING. I'm literally typing this on my phone while waiting. It's now dark in the arena. I have this one last round to win to finish this broken side quests. It's been about 15 minutes now.

All told I've spent around an hour in this tournament with less than 30 seconds being spent in actual combat.

Edit: After waiting for the final opponent to enter the announcer announces that tournament is over and everyone starts leaving. Wtf just happened?! 😂

Press T, start it, then end it. The opponent should enter it's spot then.

This is the tournament they bragging about?

Didn't work. It's now 2200 and I'm standing here alone with nobody else around except for a guard making sure I don't collect my winnings.(MY winnings since the other dude never showed up)

Side quests journal entry is still telling me to go stand in my corner. But the icon is gone from the compass, only showing on the map. Ffs.

Gonna go to sleep, let's go Mutt.

Well it worked for me. Sorry.

I just tried to wait another 3 hours and the game crashed. This is my first crash in 70 hours of play. Gonna reload an earlier save and try again.

Why are they bragging about a tournament with 4 fights and one is fixed cuz the guy is unarmed

[Doktor Eevil]

I was waiting for my turn, and when it came I noticed I was unarmed. Then I couldn't arm myself for any of the fights, because changing gear wasn't allowed, so I had to box them in the corner while trying to avoid getting hit. Strangely it wasn't too bad as they couldn't hit when I was within boxing range.

[Fleetwood]

I reloaded a save from 45 minutes ago and it seems to be working now. Waiting for a couple of others to finish their round.

This has been a painful time sink.

Yeah, it's really buggy... Atop of all said problems, after I finally managed to win all three disciplines, I went back to Menhard and he yelled at me how I've disgraced the Brotherhood at the tourney! What did I do?! I've won every battle fair and square. I've even went hand to hand with that one guy that entered sword fight with bare hands. Now I'm forbidden from entering another tournament for some time. Not that I would want to...

All that being said, I can see the potential.
It's cool to have an event that doesn't revolve around you. You can watch other contenders fights, go around the place, you have to change equipment on time (if you don't, you can be disqualified, they wait you for some time, but than they move on, they have tourney to run after all), you can talk to some of the people around the arena, or, if you don't want to do any of that, you can simply wait to pass time until your next fight.
Moment of emersion that made hole event for me was when I won longsword competition and, while Fridusch was announcing me as the victor, I exited arena and poured myself a cup of wine from the barrel. I could almost taste the victory. :'D
It's the little things, you know? :)

Is it just me who feels like the prizes in this tournament are just garbage? 200 Groshen + some weak weapon. Seriously? I was hoping for some cool armor set like in the first part. On top of that, it's probably the most bugged part of the entire game. I feel a huge disappointment, because the tournaments and village development (From Ashes DLC) were my favorite side activities.

If you wait with T in between each fight and quickly hit escape, things tend to load properly.
I still ended up fighting longsword vs shortdword and shield, but it is not as bad as fighting an unarmed person.
On The last fight of the 3rd tournament I had to drink Henry's buck blood and Artemesia potions cause it was hard, and ended up with the potion effects being permanently there. Not the worst bug in this game though.

It gets better each time you do it. By the 5th one you get 1250 coin per event + a weapon/clothing or armor piece, even some high end plate mail.
