Try to meditate, says "Cant do that now", why not?

[MythTrip]

I am playing Blood and Wine, at the Blood Simple part of Main Quest....I wanted to leave main quest and do some secondary quests, but it keeps saying "Cant do that now" when I try to meditate. Anyone know why? thanks...

Another note: Seems like time is not advancing, I am continuing the Blood Simple quest, it has been 11PM the same day a long time...

First try to verify your game cache
YOu have any mods installed? Which ones?

You are playing the final part of story and the city is burning. It is obvious that you can't do any side quests or meditate.... except treasure hunt.

No mods installed, but I do have a bunch of DLC. I went through the last 10-15 saves, and time has been stuck at 11PM for awhile.

Thanks, didnt know that. Where exactly does the final part of the story begin? So once you start it, you cant stop until the game is finished? After the main story is finished, can you then do side quests? Thanks...!!!

Capture the Castle. It asks you to save before this quest start, so you should have a save before that.
I think you should able to do it after the main quest is done(not 100% sure..), but there are still a couple long main quest to do depend on the choices you choose.(And yes, you have to finish it till the end) If you only do the main quest after capture the castle, you should load your previous save.
You can refer to this guide, it gives you some advices of what you should do before starting the final part.

Once you start Capture the Castle, you are locked into the main quest line until the end. (The guide linked above should help). You can't do side quests. Once you are done with the main quest line then you are allowed to do side quests again.

In general if time won't advance, Geralt can't meditate. If you have hard alcohol in your inventory and you need to replenish potions, hitting the meditate button will replenish them even if he can't meditate (and health will replenish depending on what difficultly your playing on.) Also with that many vampires around wanting to attack, the enemy flag may be preventing him from being able to meditate.
