Wow I thought I was the only one. Yeah I have the exact same bug. I can't talk to any NPC and can't even use the read option for books. I noticed it right after I finished G21 as well. I put in a support ticket and they basically just said to wait for maintenance as well. It's been a few days for me, and I really can't progress in the game. I hope we get some kind of compensation or maybe an extension to the event period would be fine as well. They should also release a notice to tell people to not complete the G21 story quests or maybe just disable the quest if possible to avoid more people from getting the bug. The game is pretty much unplayable after getting the bug.
(Reposting because I'm not sure if my other comment went through.)
This issue is happening to me as well. I completed G21 yesterday and right afterwards, any NPC I talked to caused my game to crash. Even the G19 Girgashiy mission board in Emain Macha does it, so I'm assuming it's anything with dialogue in it.
Please fix this, I was so excited for the update and now I can't play the game at all...
Yes, I have this bug too. Support hasn't been very helpful other than telling me to "wait for a fix" for nearly 9 days now -- after the community manager didn't bother to read my ticket until a higher GM got involved (telling me to repair/reinstall the game after already saying I did so and it is NOT a files problem, but a CHARACTER problem with video evidence to show).
It's something to do with the G21 ending. Any dialogue box will cause that character to have the game crash. Any other character works completely fine.
This is my experience after coming back to the game after a few years hiatus. Didn't even get to play the game for two days and now my character I've had since day 1 is still completely broken and the game is unplayable.
