I understand. There are the actual bathhouse tent where you receive services. And then they have a building where the maids live. If you go in there, the game may very well say it’s private property. And if you go in the tents without paying, that is also trespassing. You should only approach a wench for service if she is outside and it is daylight.
Watch the time of day. Watch how I approach the bath house. Now that you play back and watch, I notice a few townspeople are giving the indication that I am on private property by asking me what I’m up to. The game generally gives me a private area indication, that I was used to seeing. I just want to be clear with this because I did everything right.
This doesn’t just happen to me at the bath house. Sometimes it happens to me when I’m just browsing around towns in houses that have open doors. And they approach me and say “WHAT ARE YOU DOING”, and I’m like eh??? And I walk away. Sometimes they still call the guards even after I walk away as soon as I realize I’m on private property. hell, I’ve had guards attack me for no reason once. I was just out of a save, was walking to my house and I hear something along the lines of “So you think you can … something” and one of the guards punched me in the back of the head and started a fight. I thought it was because I was wearing a helmet I took from one of the bandits, but when I re-loaded in and did the same thing, he didn’t attack me the second time. But I can deal with all of this stuff. I assume those types of issues are on me. I stop going in houses I don’t belong in if I don’t want to be arrested.
@Shady: I have an idea if you want to try it:
I will zip up a few of my latest saves, upload them to MEGA account and post link here. Then drop them in your saves folder and test the Bernard/bathhouse bug.
You can try uploading a saved game file from after the Ginger mission if you want. I can check that. But the thing is, because I’ve tried to play through it a few times, I already know the bug isn’t consistent. Two out of the 4 times Bernard returned to Rattay after the Ginger mission. The first play through this bug happened, and now it’s happening on my 4th. The two play through attempts in between were the Bernard training issue where he just walks away. To me those types of bugs are very bad. Those aren’t the ones that make you laugh. And I always default to assuming it’s something on my end. Until I start to see multiple people complaining about it.
@Shady: All of my saves are after the Ginger quest. I have over 2GB in saves because I use Ultimate Saving mod to save whenever. And several other mods. But still with neither of the bugs you’ve reported, not even once. For that reason I will only upload up to 3 files in 1 zip file. If the issues doesnt occur on multiple tries, then you can logically conclude your game data is screwed, not the saves. You still never mentioned where bought the game from…Steam? If so you should be on latest patched version.
Well Bernard will return on his own eventually. It’s just so long after the Ginger quest, it’s pointless. If the game is going to require me to play 6 to 8 hours before I can train with Bernard again, I’m going to call that broken. If you send me a saved game file that’s much later into the progression, he should be there no matter what. I can get him to return, it’s just way too long. There’s too many missions that have me fighting bandits or hostiles in between, and I want to be able to train after the Ginger mission like normal.
@Shady: When I finished Ginger quest he returned to Rattay same day and I was able to train the following afternoon. For over 10 mins solid. I just figure trying some save other than yours might help you rule something out.
I’m going to start the game over completely, and I’m going to record the entire thing. I’m not going to use mods, or HD textures/sounds. What else can you recommend? Should I show hardware specifications and driver numbers in the recorded video? I want to share my experience exactly with time stamps so that everybody can see it. I don’t just want to post it here, I want the reputation of the developers challenged. Not because I’m angry or out for revenge, but because I want other people to know about these issues so they know what they may experience if they buy the game. It may be a little late at this point, but I don’t care. In my opinion it’s inappropriate. The game is still being sold for full price, and there’s no warning about these sorts of issues. I’ve never played a game in my entire life that has bugs that prevent me from completing the story. This is a first for me.
@Shady: Posting hardware specs wont give out any private info. I use AIDA64 to give me more details on my hardware than I’ll ever need. Or Speccy, which is free and malware-free.
Do you play with antivirus software enabled? Some do, some dont. I have Kaspersky Total Security 2019 enabled in background at full force when playing all games, it very rarely causes slowdown/interferes. If it does then I just set an exception for the game folder.
I’m asking if you can recommend anything that I can add to be thorough. If I were going to attempt to play this game and avoid bugs, what else could I do to be thorough. In other words, I don’t want somebody suggesting my system can’t handle the game. Or that my drivers are out of date, or the game isn’t patched etc. I want to provide all of the required information so that it’s obvious to people. People keep blaming me. I don’t want that to happen again.
I have network and device security, but something like that typically induces stuttering or frame drops/frame loss because the CPU is being mauled. I’m getting in game bugs more or less, my frame rate and performance is fantastic.
Only other things I can think of are:
Uninstall game from Steam and redownload it. You can also tell Steam to check the existing files for corruption, but it wont remove an extraneous files that werent there when game was installed. If you downloaded from GOG, you can use their Galaxy app to check the game.
Make sure all drivers are up to date, esp video/audio/chipset
Disable antivirus software when playing, and kill any other unnecessary background tasks that dont absolutely need to be running
Delete C:\Users<YourUserHere>\Saved Games\kingdomcome. Make a backup copy first.
Start training with Bernard ASAP, as soon as the game will let you (should be shortly after finishing the movie-length intro).
Alright sounds good. This is going to be epic. I’ll include the version of windows as well. I’m hoping this goes smoothly, but I’ve already done this a few times, so I know what’s coming. This will blow your mind when you see what I’m dealing with.
Dont try to trigger the bugs, just play normally and hope they dont happen. If/when they do then record it.
@Shady: Here are my 3 latest saves if you still want to try them:

Roger. I will try my hardest to avoid them. Half of the “bugs” I don’t even know if they’re bugs. That’s why I post a question mark on the videos I upload. The training stuff has happened 4 out of 4 times so far. I’ve never been able to avoid them yet. They usually happen pretty quickly. I’ll check the saved game you uploaded as well assuming I have the same prob. I’m re-installing the game now.
There’s so much stuff that I haven’t even complained about yet. Wait till you see how the textures act. Half of the time they don’t even load, or they take like a minute to load in properly. On an SSD. Which is funny because a lot of people told me to put it on an SSD, even though the game doesn’t require a specific SSD read/write. I’ve tried console commands to fix it too, no luck.
@Shady: If I were you I would try what I uploaded before reinstalling. Because once you start a new game, you want it to be pristine.
Issues with textures loading? What model GPU do you have? How much VRAM? Latest driver? NVIDIA or AMD? An SSD helps somewhat with load times and general smoothness, but the game hits the CPU the hardest. If your CPU isn’t quite up to par then performance will suffer. I would play on the highest settings you can do while still maintaining 40+ FPS in most areas (which is playable enough, 30 is too laggy).
For testing purposes, try not to use console commands or a custom user.cfg.
I have a GTX1080, and I usually play on Medium or High textures. I’ve never seen a warning for high Vram usage or anything, I’m pretty sure there’s some headroom there on high textures. I am always using the latest Nvidia driver, so I’ve had this same issue over multiple different Nvidia drivers.
