Can't spar with Cpt. Bernard

Hi, I have the following problem:
When I approach Captain Bernard at the combat arena near Rattay, the dialogue option to spar with him doesn’t appear. I’m at the start of the quest Mysterious ways. I already tried waiting and coming back at a different time of day and also going to Talmberg and trying to spar with Sir Robard. (which doesn’t work either)
I let steam validate the game files already, and I deleted the Mods I had installed. After that, I validated the files another time.
The “Training”-option (where you can raise your skills for money) doesn’t work as well. This one does appear in dialogue, but when I click on it, the menu resets and nothing happens. This goes for all characters, not only Bernard.
Thanks in advance for help.
System specs:
Windows 10
Nvidia GeForce GTX 970
Intel-core I7
8GB RAM

that is odd
a few NPC’s have been glitching out like this lately, for instance the archery master in Pribyslavits doesnt have a trade option anymore
also sleeping NPC’s are really hard to interact with because even if you wake them up they just dont respond to you pressing e to talk

Get in contact with Blacksmith, best person to help

Can you post a save? Just to test.

That´s definitve not a “normal” bug…
Maybe your save is corrupted.
Have you used a “trainer” (program) before? Which MODs have you used?

What happens if you start a new game? Do you have the same problems?

Just an input, I’ve played kcd on pc modded and unmodded recently, no major bugs unmodded, modded, Cpt Bernard, Capon and Divish glitched.

I can’t upload the save here because the file is to large, so I uploaded it to my Google Drive, here ya’ go: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1k9Y6xnI4FIsCcfDIJdSmtBNQyvvJP4Yk

That might be, at least in regards to the Bernard sparring thing, since this worked in an earlier playthrough where I didn’t have mods, but the paid training option didn’t work for me from the get-go, even when I didn’t have any mods installed. I bought the game fairly early on after the release, so I assumed this option was just a placeholder, but it seems other people can use it.

No.

Didn’t have the time to do that yet, but I’m going to try in the next few days.

Try removing the mods and retrying.

I already did. As I mentioned in the first post.
I also let steam validate the game files after that.

Sorry, I just really cba to read such a long post.

Just tested your save at miller Peshek…
Everything normal, could train for money (pickpocketing).
So save is not corrupted.
If this doesn´t work at your installation, you probaly have to delete and reinstall…

Aww, man.
Suspected as much.
Well, thanks for your help.

Soo… I have completely reinstalled the game (I did delete the game folder, before you ask) and nothing changed.
I still can’t spar with Bernard, and the paid training option doesn’t work either.
I will try starting a new game, but since you already verified, that the problem doesn’t seem to be with my savegame, I don’t have much hope there.

At this point I am kind of puzzled, because I never encountered a bug before which wasn’t solved by reinstalling the game…
Do you have any further suggestion on what I might try, or an Idea what causes this?

I did the training for you and saved nearby. Now you know masterstrikes…

Check the save

Sorry, no idea…
I hope you can play with this save,…your problem it´s very strange

Well, thank you.
Since I apparently have encountered a problem that defies explanation, I opened up a thread on steam, maybe that will lead somewhere.
Or maybe my new savegame will somehow not be bugged, who knows.

Also: Is there any other place, besides the Steam game-folder and the save folder, where the game stores data?

This two places is all I know…

Ok I finally found the problem, and now i feel kind of stupid: Appearently you can only choose the “training” option by using the enter key, not space key :man_facepalming:

Jesus Christ!!! I’ve been in the same rut, I just tried it, and it works. I have like 800 hours in the game and just now finding
this out. I’ve completed the game twice without training with any NPC. Opens up a whole new world! Thanks Jonas!!!
