Hello, a few times playing I get a bug where I can't save game (it doesnt come up when I hit Esc, and F5 says 'You cannot do that now' or something like that.

Basically I can move around, talk to people, open doors, etc...But I can't meditate, if something attacks me I am unable to draw my weapon, use a sign, etc...

Normally I could just reload the last save and it would fix itself, but now I'm at a part of the game where it keeps happening no matter what I do...I'm in the town being attacked by the monster, before I go talk to Loredo inside his house, everything is fine. But after I talk to him the bug starts and I'm unable to do anything, tried playing through it 5 times now, even picked an earlier save once but it keeps happening.

Anyone experience this? I'm unable to continue playing because of this, very frustrating.

I'm pretty sure that is intentional sometimes when in special event or in combat.

Nevermind, if you can't even draw sword or sheathe by pressing 1 it must be a bug.

Yes correct, I can be hit by an enemy, if I press 1 nothing happens. I can't pull out my weapon and attack.

I even tried entering a fistfight in this state, basically the crosshair appeared over the enemy, but geralt never went in a combat stance, I couldn't punch him at all, but at the same time he would hit me back.

I have the same problem as the original poster and can't figure out how to get around this. It's a complete show stopper too.

A similar thing was happening for me, towards the end of the game, but if I was attacked it would go away.

Same here. Getting attacked didn't help it either. I reloaded my save from before, and I'm sort of dreading to see if it persists.

You give up your weapons, but you can't even cast signs while you're a guest there, and it appears the game bugged out and didn't give us back the ability to fight. At least people say they've completed the game, so hopefully it isn't a total showstopper.

I reloaded from a previous save and went through the entire Loredo section and it still bugged. So frustrating.

It's working for me now after restarting from my previous save. Can't say I did anything different this time around.

You cant save while in combat...this includes if there are just monsters nearby that you aren't fighting...best thing to do is the same as the first one....run unti the music calms down than save it. Sometimes you will be in a safe zone and still can't save...just keep hitting f5 until it saves....works for me. Just like meditate it will say you cant sometimes....just keep hitting it until he kneels down.

Yep, but that's not the issue some people, myself included, were running into. There's a part of the game where fighting and your ability to save get disabled for story reasons, even though you're never in combat mode, and it isn't getting reset for some people.

That would make it a lot harder wouldn't it! Maybe the upcoming patch will fix it...I probably won't be there before the patch comes out....I'm 17 hours in and just finished the side quests in Flotsam...going to investigate the boat now.

Yup ! he's right neither the saving nor the weapon drawing is working for me after talking to Loredo..Plz someone post a FIX if you have found one......

Reloaded from a much earlier save point and I still get this bug. Can't get around it.
Posted May 22, 2011
I'm having the same issue. Man, I was having so much fun with the game and now this... :(
C'mon RED guys, please fix this... :/

I loaded a previous game, made some other quests and then get back to this mission, and now it works fine.
