Yeah for me the experience is ruined. Last time I bought a PC game on Launch or full price.
The bug happens on consoles too.

Figures, should have waited for a sale.

Longer for console players, I would guess.

Getting really damn tired of waiting now >_<
I reloaded a save before the 2 missions choice, decided to go to the church then just went through the story quests without doing any of the side quests during martial law Prague. Loaded through the subway fine this time and was able to finish. Seems like something is wrong with the sidequest although I didnt have the time to pinpoint what one,

Same. This is my last day off on holiday. I'd love to have it released tonight so I can finish it up before I go back to work.

Really doesn't pay to be a day one customer with these kinds of games.
Quite a few people finished the game already.

the only way I was finally able to get through the bug (after restarting the game and playing all the way back to rainy Prague) was to do not even a single side mission in that chapter. pretty crappy.
Read what I posted earlier. I managed to work around it while still doing all the side missions.

My saves in the third visit to prague no longer work. The game crashed on me while in the sewers looking for a POI related to an SOS message. I've tried rebooting the console etc but my saves won't load and blue screen the game, kicking me out to the PS4 menu.
Since the third visit to Prague, I've completed two side missions and moved the main story along a bit by visiting HQ. I've used the subway once with no issue.
Not sure what triggered it, but my two autosaves are screwed and I've had to go all the way back to the GARM facility (to the first part of the game where I was feeling pretty bored, nonetheless) losing me nearly 2 hours of progress.

Which isn't really a workaround if you don't have a save before you started doing the side missions.

Exactly.
Sure. In a perfect world one shouldn't have to breadcrumb their saves, but it isn't a perfect world so that it what I do whenever a game gives me that choice.

Ive had it crash once more like freeze during loading which caused a hard reset. Interesting to see it was an actual issue. As its only happened once just shrugged it off as "one of those things" due to no real S rank issues like that appearing otherwise.

So they've had a fix for this since Friday? What the fuck are they doing?

I would guess that SE wasn't willing to pony up the dough to have QA work over the weekend to certify the patch.

Scheduling. Nothing out of the ordinary really. For consoles that is.

So is general consensus I should wait for the patch until replaying my lost couple of hours?
I was hoping to get my first playthrough finished today as back to work etc tomorrow...

Any news on this, particularly the PS4 patch? I'm holding off buying the game until I know it's fixed.
Any updates on this?

Just wait for a sale. By then the game should probably be fixed.

They better fix this soon. I mean how did they even miss this bug?

It doesn't happen to everybody.
It seems like a lot of people are reporting it, but there are likely many times more people who played through fine without ever encountering the issue.(including everyone who reviewed the game, otherwise this would have been mentioned)
It happened to me, I went back to an earlier save and did a couple things differently and it didn't happen to me the next time. I talked to other people who did things the other way I had originally and they didn't have an issue either. It's probably some weird combination of things that not everyone runs into.

Both Dragon Age Inquisition and Witcher 3 had some pretty severe bugs that took a similar amount of time.
