Episode 3 bug while talking to frank [spoiler]

[Cpt Squeegee]

While talking to frank, the cop, and nathan in the diner to try getting into franks RV, i got stuck in rewind. I talked to everybody in the diner and grabbed franks keys off the table. When i did he got up and came at me and then it told me i had to rewind again, but no matter how far back i go, it just kept going back to his table and telling me to rewind even though i says i have his keys.

[Mindoir]

I've got the exact same problem. Tried it 3 times, but everytime I get stuck - Frustrating :/
Each time after getting the keys, I rewind to the last point, but it just stays all grey, the info to rewind flashing at the top.

[Cpt Squeegee]

I got through it after a few tries, make sure you talk to everyone and get ALL the info you can. After i had done that, it didn't bug on me. (I believe it might have been the info about the dog rescues). Then talk to frank about it.

[Mindoir]

yup, worked after the 4th try. don't know why, but it did.

[SiMouth]

I'm too lazy to try it again before there is a bug fix :'(

[Cpt Squeegee]

at least it's at the beginning of the chapter instead of the middle/end... :p

Similar situation here. Didn't have his keys yet, but I tried to bribe him with the dog story, when that dialogue was done he left his keys on the table, and I tried spilling the beans again to see what would happen. (I had gathered all info possible in the diner beforehand btw) Pressed space bar to skip that, and that got me into the infinite grey screen bug... The camera stayed focused on Frank's booth no matter how far back I rewind, even to the point where you can't possibly rewind any further.

40 minutes of progress gone :c

The dog dialogue option seems to be a problem so just a heads up for everyone to avoid it until it's patched

I didn't get this bug the first time I played through, but I did the second time. I only had one option to give frank and it was about Rachel's photo. I hadn't gotten other information. After I got his keys and went to rewind, it just stayed grey. I rewound all the way back and it just kept resetting the dots position while staying grey.

Edit: After going back a third time after restarting the game from that chapter, I got the information about his dogs from the cop, and the drugs from nathan. I also got the information about the cops side job with the Prescotts. Here's what happened though:

Unlike the second time where the cops information was my only option, I didn't have that option this time with frank, even though I SHOULD have. I choose the dog option which is the one I used on my first playthrough and it worked just fine.

Hopefully this will help others with this problem. Unless this is a random issue, this method of getting past this part should work everytime. Though it looks like it's not since one person mentioned it happened consecutively.

TL;DR:
Get drug information from Nathan.
Get prescott information from Cop
Get Dog information from Cop.
Use Dog information on Frank.

It seems like it happens depending on what order you get the info (or not get it)... but haven't tested it.

I just ran into that bug, twice in a row. Nothing to do but reload. :'(

[Heart Symbol]

I've gone through this about 5 times now. Still get's stuck. Still can't finish Episode 3. It's driving me crazy.

[metamatik]

I guess I'm going to read a walkthrough for this interaction just to be able to get it right without needing to rewind. Knowing that in many cases rewinding is actually mandatory to open up conversation paths, that may or may not be possible though... :-/

ETA: Or just read @StrokeMyBacon's post above ^__^

For what it's worth, feeling very frustrated by this problem, I tried fiddling around with my configuration, and turns out the bug did not happen when I disabled my GeForce 970 and went with my laptop's integrated graphics card instead. Might be worth trying something similar if you're still stuck there, fellow Arcadians.

I've been getting this same problem. Tried to play through the Frank-at-the-diner scene three times, using different dialogue options each time, but every time I interact with Frank and need a rewind, the game sticks in an infinite rewind loop. Any other suggestions out there?

I don't know if it really helps, but verify the game cache.

the dog option just... doesn't want to work for me, at all. after 4 tries - each of them was getting info in a different order as possible, of course - my nerves are... ugh. so i took Rachel's photo option - score! that's fine and no bug.
