Using an XBOX ONE, I have been kicked off my game over 8 times within 1.5 hours. It doesn't matter if I am playing a festival challenge or running around the settlement.

@ubi-mark I am unable to interact with Ciara and Barid. Ciara is at the tavern, Barid is at the horse stable. Initially Ciara was at Tara in the tent, but somehow returned to Dublin.

@alphagoose46219 Now Ciara is back at the tavern, but I am still unable to proceed with quest.

Unable to escort Barid, he is stuck at the stable.

Okay here is what we know:
1) Three locations with Odin's Illusionary Rune have been shared.
2) "Odin's Illusionary Rune was used to make the bearer invisible or shape shift, such as the Viking berzerkers who took on the form, strength, and courage of bears in battle" according to a google search.
3) "Originally berserkers developed their own brotherhood of professional l warriors who travelled round and took service with different chiefs. What distinguished them was that they had bears and wolves as totem animals, and clad themselves in their skins. Irrespective of whether it was a bear or a wolf, the warriors believed they were endowed with the spirit of the animal." according from another internet search.
4) " Odin is particularly associated with wolves, ravens, and horses." according to another google search.
5) Thus far, all the runes have been on rock structures.

With all that being said, I tried a few things. I chose to experiment with the symbol located in the southern coastline. I have switched gear attire and weapons: Berserker Gear and Raven Clan Gear. Tried to going berserk (wailing my weapon incessantly) while in having max adrenaline. Used Excalibur and other mythical weapons. Mediation right afterwards, then tried mediating incessantly. I later switched to Noden's Arc and used Incendiary Powder Trap skill and it blacked out the symbol. Long ago I used the explosive arrow with a different bow, there was no explosion and the arrow was just stuck there. Now I did not the chance to try it again with a different bow to see if the result was still the same. I plan on playing again later tonight to search for more Odin's Illusionary Runes.

@taran0105 Exactly! My last manual save was in mid March. I cannot bear to lose my progression

@el_t_us I forgot to show you gratitude for sharing your knowledge with us. I sincerely apologize for that and offer my sincerest "THANK YOU!"

@wised_1
I have the same problem. I have not been able to proceed with Chapter 1 since yesterday. I have completed everything, but the main quest.

@sajimces I have made a post about this and others have as well. Hopefully we will have a solution soon. I would lose roughly about 70 hours of game time if I had to start over with my last manual save

@duskdragon56496 Excellent observation and definitely something worth taking a look at. Thank you for contribution to this thread, I really appreciate it.

@ubi-keo

No worries.
The last patch I have is 1.5.0 and my internet was disabled less than a month ago. We have decided to save money before signing up with the other provider. So it will be a few months before we have access to an internet server.

Update: I turned off my console and lost all my progress again. My manual saves are back at 505 hours and dated for January 2022.
I feel defeated.

@Ubi-Keo

Additionally, I went to Francia and went to manually save my game there. Something odd happened and all my time stamps changed without saving the progress. I have not shut off my console yet, I am in the process of finishing the Erriff River Raid again. I completed this quest along with the champions of the river raids. I am hoping my progress saves this time

@Ubi-Keo

@Ubi-Keo,

I stand corrected, my manual time stamp is 505 hours and varies by minutes, The date is stamped in January 2022, which is also incorrect.

@Ubi-Keo,
Thank you for the timely response. We greatly appreciate it.
So during the duration of over two hours, I manually saved at different times during my game play. We did not receive an error notification. While playing, it manually saved with the correct time stamp. However, when I turned off the console and played the next day, it time stamped all my current progress, back to 503 hours. Each differing by only seconds. I will attach a picture momentarily.
Additionally, my bf's account is stuck in the Yule Festival.

I have my internet disabled at this time (switching providers) and I cannot enjoy the game.
The auto-save icon appears, but isn't working. I also tried to manually save my progress at different times, with no avail. I switched over to my bf's account, he couldn't save any of his progress either. Please help!

Can't finish "War Effort" quest because one of the pigs is stuck in a rock from the "Three Blind Pigs" (not sure if that's the name, I'm away from my console) quest.

Also I am unable to fight in the festival after one time of winning. This time I chose the dual daggers and was unable to proceed.

The only things I can do at this moment: talk Norvid or play orlog.

Cannot post videos, but will post pictures.
Hoping this can be rectified before August.

I am also unable to play Orlog at the Ragnarsons' War Camp

I'm unable to play the Orlog game at the Fearnhamme location in England.
