SPOILER ALERT
no, is not. I killed swordsman (actually archer killed him when he was standing between me and archer :D) and then when I started fighting with archer he escaped. So, only swordsman was killed. then I went back to camp and helped hanz(untied him). After cutscenes I did some parts of main quest and went to bed. When I woke up, hanz was there. I talked to him about baths and after that I continued with main quest. When I was killed and started from my save game(before talking to hanz about bath) I cannot talk to him again. I don’t have option to press “E”. I try to continue investigation. Now I talked to priest in the pub and waiting for next day when he promissed some help. But I have to travel around whole map to run away from him and get some time to talk with people. If I stay in one place for one day he is destroing my conversations. I was doing searching for ginger for half day. Made me very angry. When I talked to people in coal camp and he interrupted us I couldn’t ask same questions again. Marks on the map didn’t change. I knew i have to be looking for the cabin in forest, but didn’t see it on the map. So I talked to people in coal camp again, but it didn’t make sense what they said. I had to ask about thinks I knew, about thinks they already told me, but this time they didn’t wanna tell me. I think i made this part because I found other way how to continue. Actually they told me where to find him 3 times, so maybe I found 3 possible ways how to continue in main quest. Took me half day!!! I love this game, but now I wanna punch someone from Warhorse Studios!!!

it doesnt work. This is driving me crazy and i cant do anything about it. Now i hope this problem will be fixed VERY soon.
So I started quest with me and Hans hunting and I dont see this bug any more. Maybe it helped. I didn’t update game, I always had version 1.2.2. I just reloaded game and it looks like I can play without this bug now. I lost more then 8 hours of playing, so i am still angry.
Same bug here. Yet again another customer with a game breaking bug. Are there ANY updates on this? I am on PC version 1.2.2. Was any user testing with the production version of the game before it launched? I love the game, but I cannot play it?!?!? This is very frustrating.
As I just wrote. Start again quest with Hans when you go hunting. I think is called “Pray”. You have to load first save with this quest. It helped me, but I lost more then 8 hours of gameplay.

Thanks man. I did that and retraced. I tried waiting for a few days and no Hans. Looks to be resolved. Thanks for your post and help.
You are welcome. Looks like, some bugs can be fixed by reloading. In other post some other player fixed his bug in ginger quest also with reloading.
I was having the same problem in the quest “next to godliness” and I fixed it by going back to a previous save and talking to him in bed instead of letting him teleport to me.
Where can I find him in bed? I tried reloading bit it doesnt seem to be working.
You can find him at the keep in Rattay. He is in one of the beds there.
Fixed with the last update 
You can load any save, even if Hanz followed you, and he will stop to follow you.
Thx devs !
Is not fixed. I had this bug with version 1.2.2.
The new version is the 1.2.5
What if you’re on PS4? I downloaded the day one patch which was version 1.o3 and I have this problem, my plan was to do his quest and see if that would work but I cant even activate that, atleast I dont think I can, I’ll try more later, but is there a version 1.2.5 on the PS4? Because that might solve it, if not the devs NEED to fix this, its game breaking.
Just check and I was right, I do have the latest version of the game on PS4, when will this fix this bug? I cant revert back to The Pray save because that has gone now, I spent £50 on this game and really enjoy it, this bug and all other game breaking bugs must be fixed or I’ll have it refunded.
1.2.2 was last version when i posted here. Now I can see there is new update to version 1.2.5.
1.2.5
This is hotfix patch for the following issues:
Fix for R2 button being non-responsive in combat (only applicable when playing with a controller)
Fix for issues in quests with Hans Capon
Fix for quest Ginger in a Pickle
The version displayed in Main menu is 1.2.5
This patch is compatible with all current mods (in as much as these mods are compatible with our game).
Some players have problems with this update. Crashing game, broken saves or very long loading.
If they’ve already fixed the problem for PC then they ought to be able to do it for console players, I expect an update soon.
I was able to find “The Pray” auto save so I’m going to try and fix it from there, hope it works.
