Hello!
There are indeed still many bugs in version 1.3, most of them are fixes in 1.4.
Regarding the orphanage and your code issues, have you played from an older save? If yes, have you tried to load the "last data patch" to make everything works from the last version of the game you played with to version 1.3?
You indeed should be able to get the quest in Boloyam guild by talking to August any in game day once you got to Boloyam in the intended way (by doing the quest where you got to encounter your first demon).
