Anyone else experienced a bug during "Wit a Little Help from My Friends" side-mission (Panam's quest line) where it's no longer possible to save the game after sitting at a campfire right before the final set-piece?
Auto-save did trigger right before conversation with Saul after returing to camp, but I can't save manualy and with quick saves.

Could anyone help (I do have earlier save, though it's already after accepting quest from Panam but before talking with her at the mobile camp - I hope I won't fail quest if I leave it for later in case I need to).

Same problem as in The Witcher 3. You can't save at certain times due to code that prevents you.

You mean a piece of code prevents me from saving the game? WoW, I dIdN't KnOw ThAt.

Of course it's a piece of code! Everything is a piece of code! I'm even quite sure that as long as it's not a bug (as in, a random occurence due to many variables), some dev just forgot to bring back ability to save after a cutscene.

Besides, knowing what caused the bug to occur, doesn't help me in anyway - I still need to avoid that quest for now.

I have the same issue. I was able to save when I left the camp but the quick travel option becomes permanently blocked (the machines show the message 'unavailable' and can't be accessed). Passing the time also seems to be broken after that point (waited a few days for the next quest to trigger and nothing happened).

I had to skip this quest for now but it's bugging (ha!) me because I like Panam and want to finish her questline before the end.

I had that too, but I just finished the quest and was able to save again, what's the issue? The checkpoint is a bit far so you need to have the campfire discussion before going?

Did you complete the quest and can't now save or are you midway through the quest?

there are many scripted occurrences through the game where you are unable to manually save.
most, if not all of these instances, there are Autosaves being created though so if you die or the game freezes you will still begin at a certain point during the scene.

i imagine it's got something to do with intended immersion. they want you to be drawn in an live the entire scene, not just save and run off for a bit to come back and reload it later.

The issue with this quest is not that you can't save at a certain point in the quest - is that you can't save EVEN AFTER it finishes.

You can't save from the camp fire scene to the confrontation with Saul and beyond. The game blocks you from saving entirely. You can't save and, what's more, you can't use teleports either. And it seems to break passage of time as well as waiting does nothing.

I was able to save again after leaving the nomad camp but teleports and time were still broken.

Have you tried sleeping in nomad camp or elsewhere? That fixed the "broken state" issues from me sometimes.

I just did this quest last night and now I can't save either.

RESOLVED!


You need to leave the camp, go to the teleport point (not the one in the camp, another one), save your game, and then reload. That should unblock the teleports again for you.
At least it worked for me.
