Vernon Roche bug still not fixed with patch 1.07 !?!

[Litanah]

Some people are saying this is fine but mine is still not doing anything. He stands there by the fire but there is no option to click him. On a Primary quest this is ridiculous - do I just stop playing and wait for 1.08???

Anyone got a work around or anything?

EDIT:
Since posting I found this on Reddit by Pidge1994:

Doesn't work for me but may help some people - if it does let me know.

After patch, Vernon Roche never shows up on that place. it's one of main quests, can't proceed further.

CD is joking with us '-'. Also still impossible to interact with the torch in "find junior".
I really don't know what they did in 1.07, they didin't fix major bugs.

[Litanah]

Well, seeing as its a main quest its a pretty major flaw. Basically I just blew £50 on a game I cannot finish. Annoyed - doesn't even cover it!

I spent almost 3 hours yesterday puttzing around with this idiotic Vernon Roche at the bridge bs! After checking the net I tried something others have that said it worked for them. It seems the progression of that quest is related to you traveling to Skellige for the first time. Even though the retarded Devs made the quest level of meeting roche on the bridge level 11 and traveling to Skellige for the first time lvl 16 and Skellige quests lvl 12.
So I did the quest to travel to Skellige for the first time. Soon as I found a travel marker in Skellige I went back to the cave hideout, talked to Roche again and now I got new dialog. After the cut scene we were teleported to the bridge as if I began the conversation on the bridge.

I should add the initial problem with the quest is he walks out of the cave to meet you at the bridge and gets stuck on a branch not far from the cave, which you have to bump him right before he gets stuck to make him go around. If you do that then he sloooowly walks to the bridge, and of course if you have not been to Skellige, he will walk back to the cave after he spends 2 seconds standing at the bridge....

For some reason this quests resets. Log says that i have to met him on the bridge. I´ll tryed the way back to his cave and finally, the cutscene starts again. Second run to bridge worked for me.

Its supposed to be fixed if you read the patch notes...torch was also fixed. But maybe once you have reached a certain place in the game the fix does not work. For example if you already tried the torch. Go back to an earlier save game possibly.

I really cannot face starting over - if that's the case then sadly I'm done.

You only have 1 savegame.

I have the same problem, pretty ridiculous they won't even release a hotfix, this bug is stopping me from playing the game, I literally can't do anything else.

[Misfit]

I only began this quest today after I already got the update, stuck at Vernon Roche by the fire. Apparently the update was suppose to fix this little glitch but did not work for me. Even if I go back one or two saves and try again it never works. What the hell man...

At £50 I expected a pretty solid journey - I dont save every 5 minutes because I like the challenge and extra pressure. Surely some others feel the same?

Golden Rule of massive open world two hundred hour long RPG's:

Save. Save often. And use multiple files. I use 5-7 different slots and rotate them as needed. NEVER stick to one save...one slot.

Lesson learned

If you are talking about 'Get Junior' quest bug.. then this is what I did. After 1.07 patch update. I went near the bridge and went directly near the chess club building.. that triggred the cutscene for me. Hope this helps.

[Litanah]

I'm at the part before that - when I go to meet him for the first time at the cave he is there but I cannot interact with him.
