Game breaking bug main quest Questions and Answers

[BnB]

So I go to the waypoint where there is supposedly supposed to be a triggered cut scene and nothing happens. Anyone have a work around for this?

VERIFY the game first...the HOLIDAYS Internet Sales Demands.. have been playing HELL with some Steam Updates/Downloads...RICK is around here somewhere...and LISTENING if this dont work...
ANY KIND of Steam game "Verify" it to insure it is not missing files as Follows;
Verify the game...it MAY HAVE downloaded In-correctly and is Missing files
(words written below in ( Brackets) mean "Do this action",)
THIS is part of Steam Function to FIX all non functioning games;
go to the game Library in STEAM
Select
(any game you have on steam)
(right click on it)
OPEN
Local Files
(scroll down to find)
VERIFY,
(click on it and let it run)
DONE!
99.9% chance in my mind that the game will start/run after this
Suggest to CLOSE steam after if Verifies all files
then restart steam and the KCD game

Make SURE the quest is also "CLICKED ON" in the Quests Info...or it may NOT start ...

[Karl Power]

Can you be more specific? I once had to meet Sir Radzig at a camp and the first time the cutscene didn't start. When I first fought Sir Ulrich, same problem. The game is filled to the brim with bugs, but often the solution is simply to reload. You could also let steam verify the integrity of your files.

EDIT: Matt's answer came split seconds quicker and helps more.

The quest tells me to go to the upper hall in the Rattay castle and then nothing happens at all.

[Karl Power]

I assume you went to the upper hall, not the middle one, and you went into the room where Radzig and Hanush sit. I'd try a reload, and if that doesn't work, verify the game like Matt described. You might also want to disable the save system which, combined with frequent bugs and occasional crashes, makes you effectively play several quests twice or thrice. This here helped me with the save system:

Good luck! The game can be fantastic when it works, which it occasionally does!

[BnB]

Yea I was super immersed till this happened.. I'd couldn't be bothered to start over the game though.

[BnB]

Yea none of that worked. Should I load a save from hours ago or something?

Are you sure you went to the right place? You go all the way up two flights of stairs, and then take another third stairway onto the battlements. When you get to the battlements you'll realize that what you thought was the top floor isn't the top floor at all. It's a lot easier to retrace your steps than go through the bug diagnostics drill.

I'm pretty sure there is no bug. You just aren't looking at the right place.

[BnB]

Oh hmm that could be it... I looked all over for another floor but could not find it.

[BnB]

I for the life of me cannot find it... I can only get up to the 2nd floor and nothing happens. there is a 3rd set of stairs but it goes to nowhere with a hatch that I cannot use.

[Philippe_at_bay]

The third set of stairs goes to the battlements. Once you get to the battlements, if you walk along the battlements to the right there's a door into the main building. Go through that door and down the hall. That will trigger a cutscene (I can't remember if you have to go all of the way down the hall and into the room at the end).

Are you sure you're in the right place? Exactly what quest are you on and what town are you in?

I've been describing how to get the plot moving again after you first get to Rattay and report to Sir Radzig in the Pirkstein castle. Are you sure you aren't in Talmberg?

[BnB]

Yep in rattay... is it in this building somehow where it indicates it is? Or do I enter another way to get to that top area? https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1609094671

[BnB]

here is where it tells me to go as well https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1609100259

Probably the dining hall. Just walk around in the room a bunch. It's finnicky, but should trigger.

[Philippe_at_bay]

OK, I was describing how to go to the dining hall in Pirkstein castle and tell Sir Radzig that you had lost his sword.

You seem to be beyond that, but it would be nice if you told us exactly where in the plot you are.

In the upper castle the dining room is in the middle of the building. Go to the door on what a European would call the first floor but an American would call the second. The cut scene should trigger when you go through the door. Go through it gently, the program is indeed finnicky.

You might want to validate the integrity of your installation (done by going to your game library, right clicking on KCD to call up a menu, clicking on properties, going to the local files tab). Something might not be firing because a file got corrupted.
