Rattay Tournament Failed (Bug?) - SOLVED

[LegendarySense]

Hi, sorry for starting another thread, but I have problem with the Rattay tournament. First of all, how was I to know that I had to talk to the Samopesh blacksmith to do this activity? I like this game, but some thing still aren't as polished as they should be.

But after I've talked to the blacksmith, I went to that guy in Rattay, I keep forgetting his name. The one that gives you the tournament activity. But I've talked to him and suddenly, the activity failed, for no apparent reason. I know some people had problems with the tournament, but the bug (at least I guess it's bug) that happened to me is different, I failed at that activity just by talking to that guy. So, is that a bug or did I do something wrong? Another thing that sucks is that not only I failed the activity, but I can't also do that side quest for Lady Stephanie..

I've also read on the KC:D wiki that the tournament got cut out of the final game, but that's either nonsense or I didn't understand that correctly. Maybe it was about a whole tournament MODE?

EDIT: Guess I've solved it, but I can't mark my own post as topic answer.

I am also having major issues with the tournament. I get the quest from the young posh guy (forgot his name), go to the tourney in the morning, and I can't speak to the tournament master, so I can't join the tourney. It does 'tick' and acknowledge that I am there as a mision, but then after watching like 5 fights, it never gives me a chance to fight, and it fails.

Yeah, seems like a lot of people are having a lot of different problems with this. I think that now, like 10 month after release, most of the bugs were solved, but sadly, some still remain. It's a wonderful game, I think it deserves a place in my top 5, thumbs up to the devs. It's also getting a lot of additional content, which is great. But I guess I'd rather get less bugs than more content.

It is a fantastic game, just these darn bugs.

I had a problem with this mission constantly failing, but I realized that it was due to a problem, otherwise unrelated to the mission itself.
The mission fails, if you get into a fight or commit a crime anywhere near the tourney master. My problem was, that certain nameless npc's that were wandering in that area got spooked as soon as they saw me. They just ran away as if I committed something against them. Are you sure not this is happening to your game as well?

I resolved the problem by approaching this npc farther from the tourney, and chasing them out of town. There I killed them with no witnesses, and after that the tourney missions worked like a charm.

P.S. - if you can't talk to the tourney master, only the pickpocked option appears check if you have outdated mods that mess up the game.

Yeah, in the original post, I wrote about different problems that other people encounter, that's exactly what I meant. I know about this problem, but that's not what happened to me. I don't have any mods, nor DLCs so far.

As of the OP, I probably did something wrong, I've loaded an older save and it works now. When I attempted to do the activity yesterday, I talked to the Samopesh blacksmith and then immediately, I went to the Rattay herald. But maybe the game wants you to wait until next morning. It shouldn't matter when you talk to the herald, because you either talk to him the next morning, or immediately and he tells you to come back the next morning anyway. But no, you have to wait until morning and MUST NOT talk to him before that, otherwise the activity fails. Seems kinda illogical, but at least now I know what to do.

I try to join the tournament but all the guards are attacking me? WTF xD I do nothing.

Hmmm...I did the tourney, right off from talking to him and I get into the fight. Can't prep for the fights, no potions, nothing. They aren't easy either for a low tier fighter like me. At least I keep on getting tourney requests and each time I go in, I think that I am doing the fighting a wee bit better than the last time.
