Wyvern Crown of Cormyr - Jousting bug

[Allard]

Oftentimes whenever I joust, on the second bout the player character doesn't move towards the starting position and I can't do anything other then Alt+F4.

Same, I know of no solution.

Just started and I am having the same issue. Anyone find a fix yet?

[Lady MacBeth]

googled it a bit, and only thing I found was that the bug occurs when lances break. So if you dismount the opponent it should be fine. So aim for the head and save before each joust I guess?

Well, it is something at least. Thanks for the heads up, I'll give it a go and tell you guys if it makes the bug any less common.

Well, I can say that it does seem to have something to do with the lances breaking, it doesn't really help all that much to aim for the helm, since sometimes the lance breaks anyway. All in all, this is a real bummer, since the whole jousting mechanic is actually pretty cool. I guess I'll just save-scum my way through the first joust.

Yes, very unfortunate bug that has been there since the original release of the module. It was impossible for anyone to fix back then because of the DRM, but now that that's been removed, the scripts can be examined, and at least in theory someone could find the bug come up with a fix.

The weird thing was that I was able to play okay - complete with lances breaking - a few times without issue when I first got to the Jousting Field, then when I loaded the next day all of a sudden every time a joust occurs it doesn't work anymore.

Tried google as well and got nothing.

Too bad as well, since jousting is a forced part of the main quest which means I can't even get past the module's prologue. :( Half want to just create a 'skip joust' button to bypass it, but I think there's more jousts you have to be part of besides just getting into Hawklin's service?

There are about 2 jousts in the main story, that I know of (recently finished the module).

It is very odd with when it breaks or not, when I got through the jousts finally, basically everything was working as intended, but about 3 or 4 times before that it kept bugging out, sometimes as much as 10 times in a row! In general, I'd say, if you really wanna finish the module, just keep trying and maybe have a backup game to play when the jousting gets infuriating.

Yeah, I might just need to brute force it and skip the training if I want to get through.

Though TBH at his point I'd rather crack open the toolset and accept some minor spoilers to either try and figure out what isn't working or to just make a conversation workaround that handles it all without the animations (probably as an alternative option); just need to see how complicated the script is to do... not helping the fact that there are so many jousting combinations that there might be T_T

Of course, to do that I'd need to be able to open the module in the first place; do I need to beat the module first to be able to access it in the Toolset?
