Possibly game breaking bug. Stuck at alchemy table in Bozhena's Hut (Start of game)

[Sargon]

I'm getting really frustrated with this. I am supposed to make the potion to lower Hans' fever, and I do all the steps and the alchemy tutorial reacts accordingly (like boil wine...successful etc). But after getting the notification that I made the potion I can't leave the table. I can only get "Help" for the alchemy tutorial or switch to the book and just read and then switch back to the table again. Alt + F4ed several times, no luck there. Any suggestions welcome!

hold esc?

[DaS]

Hold down the escape key 3-5 seconds I think

I’m dealing with the kind of the same thing but it won’t show me any prompts to continue (like press “a” to grab herbs) so I’m essentially soft locked in the tutorial

I’m having the same problem. Super game breaking. I’ve been stuck in this menu for like 30min now…any solutions? Should I just go back to my last save??

Had the same problem in my second playthrough, I've been using an mod where I can 3x faster do my poitions. Just diasabled it and it works fine after that.

If you have a mod that turns animations off, disable it. That worked for me.

Good Tip! Thanks. I had the option for skip the Animations checked, in the KCD2 Tweaker App. Maybe this caused the bug for me.

I had this issue as well. I figured out it was me changing keybinds. I set them back to default and all was well. I then redid keybinds but did it a bit differently this time and tested again and all is well still.

Ah good to know :)

I have the same super annoying problem, I have no mods no changes in keybindings.
I am stuck at the Alchemy table; trapped infront of the herb woman. She stands behind me and whispers: you can checkout from the Alchemy table, but you can never leave. I reported it as a bug but have not heard anything from the support, they are on team herb woman. I get this deja vu from Hellgate London.

When did you report the Issue?

[Båtman]

Ah now I get it. You have to longpress the ESC key. When you want to leave the tutorial there is a longpress symbol on the ESC key. But it seems the longpress symbol (like a yellow circle ) it is not showing when you have done the potion. But when I long press the Esc key I can leave the table and continue.
