In the Blood and Wine DLC and in the "No Place Like Home" quest, a lot of other players including me have ran into this very annoying bug. After we pay 5000 crowns for the general renovations inside the house and wait for three days for the work to finish, the game does not render the new refurbished house. Instead the house stays the same, the same old broken down one. I even finished the whole quest thinking it might be refurbished once the whole quest is done, but sadly it didn't
Here are also some things I noted with this bug:
For me:
- The door down in the cellar does not go away after the general renovations, hence it blocks the secret door and Im unable to access it.
- Other things such has the bed, stable, amour stands, weapon racks, guest room, outer courtyard, grinding stone, amourers table and the herb garden don't seem to be affected by this bug for me.
- Regarding the new amour stands and the weapon racks, they seem to get placed over the previous old house's things. For example the amour stand near the main door is merged with the barrel with was there before. I have attached a picture below.
- When I looked at some videos in youtube I saw that the new renovated house had more places to hang paintings in the main hall, but in my game those areas are being blocked by the old rusty cupboards.
-The exterior changes a bit from the old looking house to the same old looking house but with the wooden ramparts and scaffolding used for construction. It never changes from that.
For others:
-In some of the forums I have seen people complaining that their bed did not get refurbished.
- For some using the few bed will get Geralt stuck to the bed, players are unable to save or do anything. Only left with the option of loading a previous save sile.
- Herb garden does not get refurbished for some too.
Causes:
I searched the internet to find out the main cause and I found a player in the Steam called McMercyton who had paid the money for general renovation but then had fast-traveled to Velen to buy some stuff. I had done the same thing too, I had fast traveled to Novigrad to check the selling price of some weapons. So it looks like if a player fast travels to some other region during the time of renovation, this bug is more likely to appear.
Solution:
Right now the only solution is to load a previous save before fast-traveling to another region. Like I said I thought this bug would get fixed once I complete the whole quest, so if I load a previous save now I will be losing easily 8-10 hours of progress.
The good news is I have heard CD Projekt Red have heard about this bug and they are trying to fix it. So for the people who are in the same boat as me, help is on its way. Just thought I would pool in all information about this bug in this post, so it will be of help to someone at least.
If you have any other problem relating to this bug please post it below, hopefully this collection might help someone. Who knows it might help CD Projekt Red too. This is what I like to call Crowd Source Bug Report ;)
If you encounter this bug please post it here or on any other forum, more the visibility faster the release of the fix.
