[Bob Barnsen]

So, looks like i came across my first gamestopping quest bug in "Questions and Answers":

https://i.imgur.com/cAhO7Qi.png


After the attack on Merhojed i started that quest there. I cured their sickness and already sent the prisoner to Rattay prison.[/spoiler]

Well, after returning to Radzig on the lookout near Talmberg, the main quest is having no objectives anymore.

The other quest Pestilence has the status "see how it turns out" or something since many ingame days.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hell man, wtf.
Now i'm forced to wait for 1.3 and hoping this is getting fixed with it..

[Napoleonic S]

I finished the quests but unable to proceed to the next

This has gaining traction to be as the next ginger bug...

[gttlin]

I am stuck there to reload save game won't work waiting fore 2 day don't work try to tricker it by smashing that horse noting works. The cutsceen wont start je say i want to talk to you and than it stops. And he walks away to tallberg.

[Moggosh [GER]]

Same here, Ratzig is in Rattay and dont want to talk to me :( Cant proceed

[Adamska]

Yep, I'm stuck with this quest too.

[Moggosh [GER]]

This is my second Game, in the first it works, i solved the Problems in Merhojed and let the guy kill the Prisoner... but now i bring the Prisoner to Rattay and thats the Problem... Ratzig isn't talk to me and i cant do anything.... have to wait for Patch... and that in a Mainquest... omg

[Triptrailz]

Fmfh, I’m doing side quests for the next week til this ♥♥♥♥ gets resolved. I just had to deal with the ginger quest and now this. This is what we get for paying full price. This game is awesome but these temporary game breaking bugs should not be normal for a game like this and should not be expected like the fanboys say. I learned my lesson from this game. Summer sale with no bugs for now on for these types of games.

i brought the bandit from merhojed to rattay and was still able to progress. not saying the bug isn't a real problem but the core of the issue isn't bringing the bandit to rattay. it might just be a random bug that happens.

i think you need to talk to Sir Radzig before you have a chat with prisoner to get around this bug

[WYUnknown89]

Spoke to Radzig at the lookout point and get the same bug everyone else has he says I need to speak with you before you go meet the merchant.... then walks off



When I talk to Radzig now I get 2 options tell him about the plague or to say I have not spoken to the prisoner.... Even my objective has changed on the quest menu... its gone back in time and says for me to talk to the prisoner at merhojed??? already done this....



I saw online someone had this bug and went back to merhojed and spoke to someone there and they stated something like "you can loot the corpse, we have buried him under a tree" they went on to say that they looted the corpse again and recieved the quest letter again that fixed their problem.



I have tried going back to merhojed but am unable to find this person he speaks of I thought it would have been that Melichar but the game only lets me pickpocket him....



Please let me know if this helps anyone else as this seems to of fixed a few people's games, may have something to do with certain choices these people made...



For example I told straw he could kill the bandit once I got the letter, if someone else did this differently please try the above

Same problem, can't continue with this quest.

Yes - in Rattay. Not at lookout point.

Me too. Something else is holding their game from progress and it's not the bandit.
Someone in previous post said Radzig is in Rattay - dunno how's that even possible.

EDIT:
I managed to reproduce the problem - what causes it is loading a savegame.
Upon talking to Radzig at lookout point this time the cutscene didn't trigger on me.

So anyone who got hit - I suggest reverting to some older savegame and replaying from the prisoner interrogation part without saving and loading game!
If you still have INFORM SIR RADZIG autosave, load that one. I just tried it on my side and it works.

[gttlin]

well i fix it now to this is how i fix it.
do not end pestilence (side qeust) yet. when it says to wait until the sistuation clears up. go to lord at the camp and report to him then you get the cutsceen. after that you can go back and fish pestilence.

[joxertm22]

No, I finished Pestilence previously and it's not the problem.

The problem is saving then loading AFTER you finish the interrogation but BEFORE talking to Sir Radzig.
It will kill the cutscene needed to end the quest.
Basically the same bug as with catching 3 Nightingales sidequest that gets killed if you save/load between trapping those birds and returning them to questgiver - some data value needed for proper cutscene execution doesn't get saved from memory and is lost upon loading the game.

This is the autosave you should start from and then don't save/load the game again until you talk to Sir Radzig, it doesn't matter will you finish Pestilence first or not:

I'm gonna repost this on official KCD forum bugs section.

I'd tried this way but it didn't work. I have my own autosave started at jail (I saved the bandit at the interrogation and moved him to Rattay jail) and didn't save/load before I talked with Sir Radzig. However, the result was the same. Sir Radzig said he got something to say with me but the dialog was ended right after he said that. No cutscene showed... he just walked to somewhere else. When I tried talk with him again he asked about the bandit who already dealt with and our Henry said there's ongoing plague in the town and Radzig suggest to go to see a monk to cure the plague...tf? Now I'm stuck in this quest. Is there anyone who have any idea?
