I’m still getting quest failed on game load. 
Omg I give up.
My apologies. The problem was completely on my end. 1.4.1 did fix it.

And I’m loosing sound randomly. Performance worse.
Are you using a post 1.4 save? WH put up a recommendation with the 1.4.1 patch notes.
RECOMMEDATION
There is a distinct possibility that the save files created with version 1.4 might be corrupted. We highly recommend going back to your old save files that were created with version 1.3.4 or older.
If you finished main quest Baptism of Fire and the following quest (Questions and Answers) did not start, reload any save from Baptism of Fire and progress through the battle. The quest Questions and Answers should start after the duel with Runt
You can not play a save you created with 1.4! Go back to a save that wasn’t touched before 1.4 hit.
Wow thats there solution. Thats a shit load of lost progress. They really fucked me with this one. Cheers for the heads up guys, but I’m done with this headache. That’s alot of lost progress all for an absolute shit patch that has no effect on performance even after saying 1.4 would. Ah well. I’m gonna play something else.
I was singing the games praise till I realised that performance is only good when there’s nothing going on. They really fucked up with this one.
Btw tried loading many saves created before 1.4, in fact I didn’t even save my game with 1.4 and it still gives quest failed.
Dude… download the 1.41 hotfix and load a game you didn’t save from 1.4. What’s so hard about that?
If you didn’t see the 1 Gig download, then “verify files” on KCD to force Steam to look for the patch and download. After it’s done you will be fine. I mean you lost nothing but some troubleshooting from 1.4 in less than the past 24 hour Earth day. No big deal right?

Yeah as I’ve said, all my saves are pre 1.4, never saved a game with 1.4.
I patched to 1.4 loaded my save and got failed quest on all my saves so just quit and awaited the hotfix, I never saved my game at all, now even with 1.4.1 all those saves do exact same thing. Even if I start from dual with runt save I complete it and still question and answers doesn’t start.
I went back to a saved file from the 29th and it still crashes after I wait for the cure to work in “pestilence” crashes at 5pm the following day. I also had to pickpocket the bandit in “Questions and Answers” just to complete that mission without it crashing at the cut scene. Still FUBAR, even if you use pre 1.4 save files.
I’m only at start of questions and answers. Literally just finished dual with runt. So the quest just bugged out for you then huh ?
I just finished checking a saved game from the 26th Feb - same problem. It crashes both at the bandit cutscene in “questions and answers” and after waiting for the cure to work in “pestilence”. So it has nothing to do with what version of the game you were running when you saved it - it will crash with 1.4 and 1.3.4 saved game files.
Is there no way to avoid it then ?
Nope, no way to avoid the crash in “pestilence” as far as I can see. You can avoid the crash in “questions and answers” by pickpocketing the letter from the bandit, thus avoiding the cutscene. But it makes no difference, as you will crash a few hours later no matter what you do. I wouldn’t keep playing until we know that it is fixed.
Yeah I’m just gonna do side quests, I’ve got shit loads anyways. Will keep me busy.
S***loads of the halberds and the Camera Stuttering… Did these got fixed in this 1.4 patch?
No idea, didn’t get affected by any of that. Sounds fucked up though
