Patch 1.4.1 is live on Steam and GOG

Run these so cash gamers off with their dambed cheating!!!

Same problem. Crash at the end of the dialog with the captive.

I have bug in this version (got it from Steam). So, main quest “Questions and Answers” is failed. I dont know why, i didnt do anything with it. I just got it 20 game hours ago, and started to complete additional quests, after that i noticed that main quest is in “Failed” page.
So, what I have now:

  1. Main quest “Answers and questions” is failed
  2. During additional quest I brought cure potions for all citizens of “Mrchoeds”.
  3. Melikhar thank me and told, that I could enter the house with the burglar
  4. The house with the burglar is still closed and i dont have keys
  5. I have additional task “Wait for some time and see, if people gonna get cured”
  6. If I kill sentinel I can enter the house with the burglar, but I cant interact with him!
  7. If I stole page from burglar, main quest offers me to visit Sir Radtsig (but it still be in “Failed” page)
  8. When I come to Sir Radstig, there is no row for completing the quest! I can just take additinal quest about silver and ask about saint father in Uzhitse!
  9. The worst thing is that at 6 o’clock of local time (it doesnt matter if Im sleeping or travelling) - game exists with the error!
    What should i do? How can I complete the main quest? There is no posibility to loadrevious saves — they are TOO old. Maybe there is a way to begin bew main auest within the console? Or to make “Answers and questions” active again?

When is the PS4 update coming

Thanks for you help, I´ll try it, my game it was updated to version 1.4 and later to 1.41 (actually), but this morning I had another update of 5.7 gb but it’s still in 1.41

ESC or B button hold freezes game
Was at quest to go to Vranik, pop up screen indicating some quests maybe lost. To close this screen you have to press and hold the ESC key, or B button if using controller, but nothing happens. Screen does not transition and advance, esc hold indicator does not move.

So figured it was a 1.4 patch bug and started new game. Same issue occurred for the pop up screen that lets you know of speech, noble, or threatening choices.

I was giving it the benefit of doubt.
A great game, screwed up by someone, I feel for WH though.
They have hired someone who is not fit for task and it’s dragging them all down.
All that effort put into the research, design, artwork, modelling, textures, acting, scripting, lighting and sound.
Totaly messed up by a coder.

@rhombeus: I feel your pain.
Someone put the bar too high at WH and at some point the publisher had to set a deadline.
Unfortunately WH was not able to deliver a working game at this time.
But, this discussion is being held in at least a dozen other threads, so let’s focus on the problem for now.
As I see it, we have to wait for a hotfix for now.
I have not yet been able to get steam to run 1.3.4.

I can download the older version but steam always wants to update it on first start.

I cannot confirm that “Questions and Answers” is working now.
(and I really had to get myself together to make this sound formal.)

yesterday I´ve run Kingdom Come after few days and i´m very disappointed. Last I´ve run KC with 1.3.4 patch, everything works fine, only some minor graphic bugs. Main problem with patch 1.4.1 is non functional saves, so the game is now unplayable. Game crashes after sleep, after quests, only working save is when I exit the game (save and exit), but I can´t continue with game progress. As I read this forum, most of players have the same issue, so please Warhorse, can you fix this issue immediately? It´s a big shame, Kingdom Come is very good and funny game, but I wanna be a player, not a tester of beta version :-). Good luck

I guess it is more then just one Coder who failed to do his job here.

I reverted back to 1.3.4 an the game seems to be working again. The process is actually very simple but requires a full download of the game.
Running Steam version on PC. Reverting back with GoG seems even easier as you can simply uninstall the latest patch.

Yeah, I’ve put Steam in offline mode to prevent the automatic update. So far, I haven’t had any bugs worth mentioning running 1.3.4. I’m gonna happily stay here until a successful patch comes through…maybe 2.3…

I think you can disable auto updates on a per-game basis. Did you get back using the “download_depot” command in steam?

BTW, WH acknowledged in twitter that they know about the problem and are working on a fix right now

Dyslexia?

Indulge me as I digress. WH is a small studio. The dev and test/QA functions are relatively small.

Don’t mod KCD but seems like KCD is an objectively large and complex game. That has to be serviced by said relatively small functions

Tobi and DrF have floated numbers for how long it takes to finish. Comparing those numbers to the number of hours others and I have put in, those numbers are low.

Are users are stressing the game beyond original expectations? It’s not clear. What is more clear is that RL use cases are identifying patch problems very soon after release. Wish WH engaged some of the RL users and their sometimes extreme use cases in pre-release assessment. Why? It might be the most practical and effective approach to stress test KCD and reduce patch pain (at least in the near term)

Playing the main quest shouldn’t be “stressing” the gane, should it?

Ceteris paribus, no. But, caching glitches have impacted my game play (eg lost sound during Pie quest; fixed by sys restart and file trimming). when caching corruptions get incorporated in to a save/reference file, damage could be done to an otherwise fine quest

There’s a reason cryengine told Erik to wait outside Sasau monastery instead of in his hut. (Spitballing here but maybe the variable used to populate the spawning vector got a wrong derived-calculated value) I don’t think it because of an error in ‘hardwired’ scripting; otherwise, everybody would have my main quest bug. Everybody doesn’t

Agreed. Very interesting! I would really like to know if there really are any people who updated ro 1.4.1 before “Q&A” and were able to finish the quest successfully.
On second thought though I don’t mind because there’s nothing that I could do anyways ;D

Mitigation
Let’s be candid. These releases have gone about as smoothly as broken glass covered gloves during a proctology exam. Until KCD turns the corner on these releases, i’d try to back up all my saves and manually download all releases.
