I can start this quest fine, but no markers appear for the flags I’m supposed to collect, so when I reach the first town, I’m left wandering around aimlessly looking for it, at which point they immediately grab it and move on, taking the lead. This happen to anyone else?
Thanks.
Not a bug. Learn the course by taking your time. Best way is to just follow the horses, don’t get ahead of them, and see where they go.
I should’ve elaborated - I looked up a video of the race, and the person playing had the green side-quest flag on each of the flag locations as they came up. Did they change it at some point, and I’m looking at an old video?
I won the race eventually, it was just a bit confusing since it would’ve been extremely helpful.
Actually it is a bug, i have taljed to others who have had markers appear on their map, while i personally never got any markers.

Had the same bug happen to me, the simplest way to win is to just stay in second or third the whole time, basically follow the others through the course to ensure you dont get lost. Then at the of the race when all the other racers are going around that hill that leads up to the castle, you just take a short cut striaght up the hill instead. The NPCs always take the proper path there and so you will beat them by a fair amount (they were still at the bottom of the hill by the time i won when i did this).
As a note keep your pacing with the guy in first, every now and then they will slow down, that is your time to slow down as well to regain stamina. Also be careful at the mines, it is very easy to miss the tiny narrow bridge and fall into a crevasse potentially causing you to lose the race.
Different issue for me but once I completed the race I went to fast travel back to the horse trader, almost immediately the Ft got canceled and the horse died along with another. They’re still there a week later lol. Didn’t fail the quest as a result but the horse is dead and the corpses won’t go away.

Yep, yet another sack of s*** idea. Let’s have a race where you have to follow everyone else because we’re not going to let you know where to go. Let’s all go for a walk around merhojed and ask where the f***ing mill is. Wardonkey continues to excel.

Look at the map. There’s a quest marker.
Looked there, no quest markers. Tempted to put it on hold until the next patch. I really hope they stick with getting the game to the state it deserves to be in. KCD could and should be brilliant.
I had this happen to me…turns out I already had 3 quests running so couldn’t see the markers for this one. Go to quest tab and choose this quest instead you will then see markers

Kinda funny story about my experience with this bug. I had it happen and then decided to reload the game and switch around the quest markers to see if it would fix it and, lo and behold, the dudes I was supposed to race just ride off into the sunset and the race gets called off. The objective to start the race fails, the objective to win the race succeeds, and then it had me talk to Dirvish. I go up to Dirvish and the dude is pissed because he thinks nobody showed up to his race. lol. He gave Zora the contract, so I figure it’s good enough. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
