Dialog bug - island (spoiler)
When I talk with the deserter on the island after saying "you're under arrest" line I only get his reaction and no continue button or more dialogs option. Can't go to menu or do anything.
Anyone got a way to somehow progress from there? I tried to use only keyboard in this dialog because apparently it worked for some other dialog bug, but it's not the case here.
Before that I got a dialog bug in the church scene, but the last update fixed it, so I thought I can finally finish the game, but now that happened... Right now it's just really annoying.

There's some kind of bug with the dialogue UI that Final Cut introduced. I haven't gotten it on the island but I had it in other places. Things I've tried that seem to have done something: holding Tab or Space, clicking and scrolling a lot, and changing the font size in settings (you can change it back afterwards). Other people tried changing the shaders and screen resolution and that seemed to kick something loose for them. In the church, at least. Best of luck.

I have the exact same issue as @beaten.
I noticed that the deserter was already stuck before engaging conversation (again) and just reaching out his hand all the time.

I just got around that by randomly clicking through the old questions again. When I was back at the "main" part of the questioning I noticed his hand moved again. Got out of dialogue, quicksaved, get back in and clicked the under arrest dialog option. Now, the "Continue" button finally showed.

I managed to get through this bug by changing the screen resolution just before arresting him.

Heres the real fix. Dont listen to those above!!

If you leave the area and come back the game "forgets" that the man threw his rifle on the ground so when you leave and come back you hes holding an invisible rifle. I guess they never patched that in because they assumed you were not going to be leaving the area

There is no way to select the dialogue option to ask him to drop the gun again. You must reload a previous save file

hope this helps!
