Attacked by Combat Master Vanyek at start of game

[Medieval]

Just started a new game (ps4 KCD version 1.5) and as soon as I wander into town to get the charcoal and so on I’m being attacked by Combat Master Vanyek. I can’t punch back. The guards join in. If I surrender it doesn’t seem to make any difference. Eventually knocked unconscious thrown in jail for stealing (even though I haven’t touched anything) followed by " GAME OVER you have died in jail".

In the intro you are not supposed to go into jail thats why u die.in it

Yep, that’s why this is a game-breaking bug.

1.5 save corruption

Hmm. So more than 1 playline2 corruption. Vanilla PS4 so mods have nothing to do with issue Playline 2 appears to have a game breaking issue for me. Really hope WH can fix this asap with 1.6 so I can play the DLC with this playline. If load Unexpected Visit - Quest Started (1st save file) and head to Vanyek, Vanyek will be hostile. Between talking with your mom and approaching him, there’s nothing (reasonable) that should have triggered his reaction. If you avoid Vanyek and then meet up with…

Hi. Yes, this was on playline 2 and I’m now more than a little wary to start a new game on playline 1…
I was starting again to play towards the next trophy “completionist” lol.

Avoid Vanyek and meet up with Vanyek. Yep, there’s the problem.

Good news! This just seems to be on playline 2. Started a new game on playline 1 and so far so good.
