    After game restart, I again attempted to give Phjneas the Warrant and the exact same behavior repeated. The dialog box is again open. The "Give Items" button is Green but neither it nor the "Cancel" button cause the dialog to clear. The quest is still stuck.

    I did not have this problem on the QA server 2 days ago.

    In addition, I cannot leave this scene using the options menu accessed with the 'esc' key, since the dialog box is "eating" the key action.

    If I leave the scene via a nearby exit, the dialog box is again displayed on the over-world map, and the 'esc' key functionality is still blocked. The only way I have found to get rid of the dialog box is to kill the game using the windows close program X key in the upper right hand corner of the window. Not sure I could do much of anything if I was full-screen.

    This last test was done on R44, version 633.

    I would be happy to let your diagnostic team use my login to investigate further.

    This problem still exists in Build 636. I just recreated.

    The line in the Patch Notes that says, "The “Warrant Served” quest in Blood River Outskirts has been updated to ensure proper completion." is not completely true. Not all failure modes have been corrected. In addition, all the bad effects of this particular failure mode are still present, requiring me to once again restart the program by killing the SotA windows task.

    I concur, still an issue in 636. He doesn't acknowledge the warrant.
