Hello, could someone please help me with this glitch I have in Oxenfurt - the armorer and the blacksmith are nowhere to be found, their shops are there but empty, the only people in the city I can interact with are the innkeeper, the barber and one merchant. I've tried meditating several times, did the quest with the Baron's daughter, reloaded saves, nothing helps. Has anyone encountred this problem/knows how to resolve it?

Thanks.

EDIT: Clicking the Verify/Repair option as suggested in the post below worked, but it took a few days - at first it kept saying it had "disk access problems" and the game refused to update, then I couldn't play the game through GOG at all because the "Play" button went grey. But then, a few days later, GOG client updated itself on its own and the issue was finally fixed. Clicking Verify/Repair worked, game downloaded the patch and it fixed the issue, plus some other bugs that made quests like "Of Swords and Dumplings" and "The Apiarian Phantom" impossible to finish.

Thank you all for your help!

I have the exact same problem and I came to the forum hoping for a solution. This sucks! I was hoping to find the blacksmith to get the Griffin swords made.

try meditating an hour. works for me every time.

Doesn't work this time. Not only did I meditate for one hour, I tried 2-24 hours and still no armorer/blacksmith to be found. Different sailors would sometimes appear at the blacksmith but that's all. Tried tech support but nothing from them yet.

Received reply from GOG.com Support that worked. They suggested I open the Galaxy Client, click the game and use the MORE>Manage Installation>Verify/Repair function and check if the issue persists. I did this, then meditated until 6 a.m., and both characters appeared. Problem fixed.
