Beer unlock task still bugged

The task to unlock a new beer style is still bugged for me after the updates. Do I have to start a new save (again)?

Hi, I found the cause, but I can't fix it myself. The good news, is that I can tell you how to avoid the bug (is a very very strange condition, that should be very rare)

1. Let the Monk in the upper right room finish fermenting (don't sell the other ales yet), and complete the bishop task and get the rewards
2. Save the game, exit the game completely. Re-start the game.
3. Now everything should work ;)

On monday we will also fix it, but now it should solve your problem, this was the first time it happened, seems to be very rare!

Hi, thanks for the answer, but:
1. The Monk never finishes brewing, although the progress is at 100%.
2. If I try to save, exit and load, the game crashes while loading.

I have a save 2 or 3 days before the bug. Is there anything I can do to try to avoid running into the bug in the first place?

Cheers, llutac

I did try to run the game a bit differently from the save before and it still gave me the same bug. Now it is the brewer on the bottom left that does not finish.
I sent another feedback in case that helps.

In theory, if the moment you have the bug you make a new save, then exit the game completely, then restart it and load it, on my build it started working correctly. The cause of the bug is a very "dumb" interface error when a bishop task is active at the same time as the maltus task. But using the technique I mentioned it seemed to avoid the issue, I got the right task, etc.

Thank you for the quick responses!
The thing is, the bug also appears when there is no other task active. I tried to complete the bishop task before triggering maltus.
I will try again, though.
