Head North bug

[Markus498]

So, I got the mission to Head North and then proceeded to go to the Photo Dojo to obtain my passport picture. After obtaining said picture, I ventured into the Lost Forest. After about 2 or 3 minutes of wandering around, Douchebag's parents show up and tell him to get home because he's grounded. Upon sleeping you are able to leave the room as normal. However, this happened to me a second time as I had loaded into the border with Canada. Douchebag's parents randomly show up, ground him, and now I have to sleep to leave the room....but yet, whenever I interact with the bed to try and sleep, an animation plays of the mother entering the room (her mouth doesn't move to speak, but her head still moves). Once the scene ends, I'm stuck looking at the dark room after she turns the lights off and the door is closed. I can't move or do anything with my character, but I can still open up the pause menu, save/load a game, etc. I have tried reloading my save several times with no luck. My last save is about 4 hours of playtime behind my current save. This is on the 360 version.

Have you tried looking at the load option and not when your last save was, the game should be saving at each major milestone and right before you go to sleep as well.

same crap happened to me. My only save point besides being stuck in my room goes back 4 hours. Please tell me a patch(or a method) is coming out to fix this, no way am I playing 4 hours of the same content over again.

[Yaronsb]

Same thing happened to me, and my last save is 5 hours before that. i dont wanna play the exact same thing all over again, I've done so much since then

 

[Mantage]

No one knows anything then?

[Mantage]

btw, this is happening for me on xbox 360

[Mantage]

so this won't be fixed ? Can someone give me an email of the people responsible for this game ?  I would like to write an email and complain

[jboo437]

same thing is happening to me! I exchanged the game and still stuck at looking at the door! anyone know of a way to get passed this??!?!?!?

[J.Burke]

We're looking into issues with quest progression in multiple areas. These issues just take time to reproduce and fix.

[Mantage]

Glad I pre-ordered the game to make sure I get it day one, just to be stuck in a glitch. It is a joke you guys would release a game that feels like its in beta mode with all the bugs in it.

[Seanze01]

Same problem. I tried loading an older save and it still gave me that same line about the dire bear. I got it off PSN and the patch downloaded before I started playing. 

[Seanze01]

Oops, wrong bug, sorry. I thought this was for the Canada part with the Winnipeg and dire bear.

.....having these issues on the xbox 360 version

Design has a possible workaround until we have a retroactive fix for saves that are already in this state: 

 

 

This has been fixed in a patch, but if your game is already in this state there are two things you can do to try and resolve it after installing the patch.

1. Fast travel to u-store it and run to the farm.
2. Enter the lost forest and run to the entrance of Canada (Go North). 

Entering either of these locations should reset some game variables that are causing the issue.

 

This solution only works if your game is patched. Please let me know if this workaround cleared the issue for you.  We are still working on an actual fix to saves that are already in this state.

I'm playing on steam and was having no luck the last 2 days no matter what I did in the game(Run away from grounded parents, reload, etc) I ended up right clicking the game in steam, went to properties, went to local files and "Verified integrity of game cache". Started it up and works great now. Made an account just to put this out there. Hope it works. Awesome game.

It should fix the issue on 360 as well.

I'm on PS3 as far as I know I have the latest version. I'm in the same situation the game is stuck looking at the door. I can't go back as I don't have any saves now which aren't in the bedroom. It's been three days now what can I do? When can we expect a fix?

[SetzerFan]

I've been stuck for a week. Not cool. Even my fourth and last save from days before froze in the same location leaving
