[1.05] Main Quest bugged at end of Act II

[ThatGuyCalledPete]

So, I am at the end of Act II where I need to return to Lady Webb before attending the hearing.  I have had the agreement from the Knights to be in their delegation.

 

Unfortunately at Lady Webb there is no option in the dialog to proceed to the hearing with the Knights.  In desperation I select the dialog choice that I have "burned my bridges" with all three of the groups attending, and to have her send me apart.

 

Once I get to the hearing there is all the conversation, and the assassination at the end, then the game auto-pauses, with no way for me to unpause.  The only option is to quit the game with ALT-F4.

 

At this point in the game I am loathe to "roll back" as I have done a lot of quests and tasks since getting the agreement from the Knights to attend in their delegation (the dialog option was missing when I went straight from the Knights to Lady Webb, but I thought I was missing some other quest stages, so I went around clearing up a lot of stuff).  Basically now I can only put the game down and write it off as a bad-job unless there's any way to continue with a fix.

Hi Pete,

Thanks for reporting this issue. This is a known bug and we had it a priority issue. I don't have a timeline but you should see a fix for this in the next patch. Sorry for any inconvenience in your gameplay.

Thanks - but is that just the Lady Webb quest part, or does it include the auto-pause that cannot be unpaused (see the end of the video) as well?

After going through the Duc's hearing cutscene myself with all auto-pause options turned on, I realized it was auto-pausing due to the 'Spell Cast' auto-pause option. So if you turn off that auto-pause option you should be able to proceed without a problem. I also discovered that if you click off of the game window and click back, then the game would unpause and resume the cutscene. Hopefully this can help you progress normally. The issue has also been reported to our team. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and keep up the good work!

I experienced this just today, and found a way to get past it. I just ALT-Tab'ed and then the scene kept playing. When it paused again, I ALT-Tab'ed again. Three times and it went back to normal.
