I have the same issue, trying to enter this house causes a CTD when no other cut scene in the game has caused me any problems, with 191 hours played- some of that restarts because I like to poke around, a lot of it restarts because of things broken in previous versions.
This game has become a pretty strong reminder to me of why I usually wait 6 months to a year to buy a game versus at release.
I have the same issue with the Straw cut scene that others are having. As soon as I enter the house, the screen goes black like it is going to start the cut scene, then CTD.
Seems there might be an issue with this quest and the cutscenes it tries to trigger.
opened the q_captiveInMerhojed.xml and commented out the refference to a cutscene called “Lynch” and I could finish my conversation with the bandit, and people were waiting outside, possibly wanting to lynch the bandit.
Will test this further.
UPDATE: seems removing the cutscene trigger screws things up as I see three villagers standing out of the barn but they won’t trigger any conversation with you about why they are there.

Here are all Reports and their Status. You must be logged in to see it.
I imagine that to be very frustrating if you develop a big patch and realize that it is causing new big bugs… -_-
confirmed (Bug #794): ctd right after ending dialogue with captive bandit 2 hours after cure potion was given to town. 1.4.1 patch level, no mods.
Hi guys,
I was able to finish this quests by edditing 2 files in the Scripts.pak:
Location: …\Kingdom Come Deliverance\Data\Scripts.pak\Libs\AI\quests\
q_plagueInMerhojed.xml (Pestilence Quest)
Find and delete line:
InstantSendMessageToNPC target=“this.id” type=“cutscene” values=“alias(‘slamaPreDialog’),dialogFadeIn(true)”
Then find and delete line in subsection (if you cured everyone):
InstantSendMessageToNPC target=“t_actors[slama]” type=“daycycle:change” values=“add(false), handle(‘q_plagueInMerhojed_slama_drinking’)”
q_captiveInMerhojed.xml (Question and Answers Quest)
Find and delete whole subsecion: BehaviorTree name="cutscene_slama_lynch_onBegin
Hope that helps 
Same here. After entering at the house of “stroh” game crash and back to desktop.
I had the same issue so I skipped entering house and went directly to prepare potion. After that I did not interrogate bandit, but steal the letter from him. Questions and answers mission was completed and I can continue playing. Pestilence quest is not yet finished
I had same issue entering the house, the launch of the cutscenes scrashed, I skipped this step and succeed speaking with bandit and finishing the quest…
Same issue here Crashing after entering Straws house…
Didn’t get it. What lines should be deleted?
Hi,
There was a mistake in the text format. I edited my previous post. Lines that I deleted should be visible now.
Of course remember to backup scripts.pak before making changes 
I had no mods installed and after updating 1.4.1 had the same crash issue. So i stole the letter from bandit and after 24 hours i kept crashing again and again. But i think i found a fıx. I disabled HD Textures and waited 24 hours and game didnt crashed for me. Then i went back to merjohed and talked with the guy and completed the quest with no crashes. Tried same thing few more times to make sure and i had no crashes for sure. But i trıed going back and talk with bandit it still crashes. Im not sure if it can work for you but after stealing the letter and talking wıth sir radzig just disable hd textures and wait for 24 hours. I hope thıs works for you too!!
“Oh and btw you need to restart the game after turning hd textures off and make sure you are far away from merhojed. I was in Sasau tavern waıtıed there with no problems”
Completed Pestilence tonight. My resolution was similar to Phenom:
Knocked out watchman, picked barn, pickpocketed letter from bandit. (I did not initiate Pestilence up to this point).
Following morning, I paid my dues for behaving like a scoundrel, started Pestilence, helped the woman bury her husband, got Vincents will, went to Sasau to turn in will and get help from monastery. Returned to Merhojed, handed out remedy, went and completed Questions and Answers.
returned to Sasau and waited a few days (until status of Pestilence changed to: wait and see if the remedy works). At this point I changed the resolution to 1920 x 1080 (from 2560 x 1440) and waited a few more days. There was no cutscene, nor a crash. I returned to Merhojed, spoke to the Bailiff and completed the quest.
Yes I’ve been experimenting myself around with those values for some days as i previously mentioned earlier in the tread.
I tried specifically removing that line from captive in mejhojed too but it still crashes to me =(
After dropping off the bandit captive at the Rattay prisons I received a notification to talk to Sir Radzig, The map didn’t show me where he was and the journal only has the “Vengeance” main quest line with a sub quest saying “Find out where the counterfeit coin is coming from” . I checked on the internet and found Sir Radzig at the lookout camp West of Talmberg. No cut scene was triggered and the only thing he would talk about was a Silver mine side quest. I tried to “activate” Sir Radzig by picking a chest nearby where by he ran off into the sunset and I haven’t seen him since. Please patch.
Well i complete so many quests after this buggy one and i can ensure you there is much more bugs awaiting you in upcoming quests. they are not game breaking like this one, but it annoyed me like hell. This game is amazing i enjoy it very much but this bugs just make me wanna alt+f4 right away. ıts almost like its still on beta testing. I dont think they will fix those bugs anytime soon. Probably we will see many patches in future.
It is.
Just beta testers paid 60$ for it instead of being paid
I want return back in a year… for Game of the Year Edition (or in the other words for initial stable 1.0 version). it’s so annoying to be a beta tester (for 49,99€ that I paid for the “pleasure” to be).
And the game was like 4 years in developing already, if I not wrong? Wut?
