Cyberpunk 2077

Update 2.1 for Cyberpunk 2077 and Phantom Liberty on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S is coming out tomorrow (December 5th) around 12 PM CET.

The update brings our usual bug fixes, changes and gameplay improvements. It also adds some of the most-requested features, such as the NCART metro, radioport, repeatable car races, hangouts with romantic interests, cats, and more!

In preparation for the update's release tomorrow, check out the list of changes below.

New features

V's issue with their NCART City Pass is resolved and they can now travel between the 19 metro stations located throughout Night City on 5 different lines via fast travel or riding the train itself while gazing out the window and watching the world go by.

!

V will now be able to invite their love interest to spend some time together in any of the apartments. Hangouts are a repeatable, unlimited event that become available once the romance path with a given character has concluded. You can now listen to the radio while on foot (or while riding the NCART train) using the new Radioport feature. Available while you explore, it switches seamlessly to car radio whenever you get in a vehicle and turns off when quest-specific music starts playing. It is now also possible to adjust the volume directly in the radio window.

!

Added replayable car races V can take part in after finishing The Beast in Me. Look for race flag icons on the map and win the races to get eddies and a discount for the Autofixer website. Additionally, we improved the racers' AI to make them more competitive and made enhancements so that the whole experience is much more fun! Sightseeing binoculars in various scenic spots have been added as another way to appreciate Night City's vistas.

Stats from arm cyberware will now be applied correctly regardless if they are drawn or not. Fixed an issue where V's HP wouldn't drop below 25% due to BioDyne Berserks's effect remaining active permanently. Please note that this fix is not retroactive, as it won't affect cases where this issue already occurred prior to 2.1.

Vehicles & Traffic

Opened the previously closed-off highway that spans Westbrook, Santo Domingo and Heywood. It is now possible to lean while riding bikes. Use LShft/LCtrl on keyboard or Left Stick on a gamepad to make the rider lean - Up to lean forward, or Down to lean back. Leaning only changes your Center of Mass. Lean back and apply the gas to do a wheelie, lean forward and apply the brake to do an endo. Changing your Center of Mass changes how much traction you have at either end. Lean forward a little mid-corner to induce oversteer, lean a little back to induce understeer. In the air, lean forward/backward to do flips, steer to do spins!

I got the game soon after launch and started a sneaky hacker. Didn't get very far before shelving the game until it was in a better place in terms of polish. Then I recently decided to give the game another chance and pick up where I left with the sneaky hacking. The character seems no longer viable now since my previous approach seems to be limited to however long it takes for the inevitable and unstoppable tracing to finish. Then the game gently pushes my nose into combat and rubs my face in the fact that I have not specced for that.

Is there any way left to level my sneaky hacker through sneaky hacking? Because I did like that playstyle and I don't see myself leveling a fighter. If I wanted to play a shooter, I certainly wouldn't do that in Cyberpunk 2077.

On this playthrough I've decided to just wander around Watson a bit before the heist and keep finding streets I've never seen before, even on previous playthroughs where I walked everywhere. This particular street is practically subteranian and its a shame most of the content takes place at surface level or in the main streets when there are great environments like this hidden around the place where most players will never see them.

So for a lot of people Patch 2.13 has been a great performance boost; though I personally have a 40 series GPU and intend to keep using DLSS since it looks better (FSR 3.1 when CDPR?) FSR does actually gain me significantly more frames at the cost of some visuals.

However some of you (like me) will have initially had a significant FPS drop compared to pre-patch, along with weirdly low GPU utilization and loss of access to frame gen for 40 series cards. The fix is simple, go into windows graphics settings and enable hardware accelerated GPU scheduling. For me at least that solved all the above issues and I hope it can for some other people too.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Small update: I was just trying some things to get latency down and while I was in Nvidia control pannel decided to give: "Texture filtering - Anisotropic sample optimization" A try. I can confirm that I saw almost no shimmering and it dropped my GPU/CPU useages from about 70% to 50%. I'm playing at 1080p with DLSS on balanced and settings maxed. My system is a 32GB of ddr4, an AMD 3700x cpu and an RTX4070 GPU for reference.

Thought I'd add it to this post because it seems to be a fairly substantial performance boost with no downside, at least on my setup.

Patch 2.13 for Cyberpunk 2077 and Phantom Liberty is being rolled out! It includes support for AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 3 with Frame Generation. Please note that this update is PC-only!

Keep in mind that despite the version mismatch between PC and console, Cross Progression will still function properly.

For details, check out the list of changes below.

• Added support for AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 3 with Frame Generation.
• More information can be found in this article on the Support website.
• Added support for Intel Xe Super Sampling 1.3.
• It will now be possible to enable both DLAA and DLSS Ray Reconstruction at the same time.
• Added a new "Utilities" tab in Settings and moved HDD Mode, Hybrid CPU Utilization and AMD Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) options there.
• Other stability and visual fixes.

Unsure of what settings to adjust to fix it. It's bothering my eyes pretty bad. Also, people on screens in game are moving in slow motion, but that's not an issue for my eyes. Got the Steamdeck 2 days ago, so it's brand new.

Playing for the first time and I chose the corpo and loving the style so much when walking in the city center. I am not talking about the more military stuff like Arasaka guards, but rather the kind of outfit sported by Meredith Stout and the Peralez.

I tried to look for people involved in that specific character design on ArtStation, but there seem to be none, and anyway I don't know if it would be possible for me to come in contact with them.

Spoiler alert, last warning:

For me it was after finishing the Voodo boys questline and one of my favorite parts in the game, when V just collapsed, Johnny took care of it saving our ass and then gave V his dog tag saying he will go down if the situation ever calls for it.

After saving me, I even told him I would take a bullet for him.

But seeing this scene again in a youtube video made me realize maybe I was a bit naive back then. When V wakes up and the pills are in his hand, I thought the 1st time playing the game "yeah its normal, Johnny took them to bring me to a safe place". The 2nd time watching the video, I thought "wait a minute... maybe he was trying to continue taking them to stay in control forever?".

This is why I love this game...

I'm not judging, I'm genuinely curious. The reason why I'm asking is because in this sort of games I like to make the character resemble me as much as possible in every aspect, so I'm just curious to know what is the motivation behind men that decide to play as a female character.

Anyone remember this? This was the jacket Panam sported on day one. It got patched so fast I can't find a single reference of it online.

!

What's the lore here? Erebus and Canto basically trap the souls of the dead they kill and banish the "soulkilled" to beyond the black wall right? How are these rogue AIs using "dark energy"?

Radio Patch Notes when?

What's the lore? What the hell allows the blades to fit neatly back in the arms?

I remember seeing on the steam deck community someone mentioning a patch that reduced the size of the assets and, consequentially, the size of the whole game; does it actually exist or did i just hallucinate it?

I know this community is specifically for the game Cyberpunk 2077, but if any of you are fans of the cyberpunk genre as a whole, come check out !cyberpunk@lemmy.zip for discussions on anything related to the cyberpunk genre. That is: movies, anime, books, TV shows, etc. We focus on cyberpunk as a fiction genre, so no news articles about our real world turning into a cyberpunk dystopia.

I'm not sure how many people go out of their way to find new communities so I thought I'd mention it in case people here are interested in more cyberpunk than just Cyberpunk 2077.

When drinking coffee in Vs Glen apartment, I had a gold, blank dialogue option that only appeared when I was doing the animation. I selected it, and V went "Hehe." Then, nothing, and it won't appear again.

Things immediately come back even after despawning them, and the arcade machine keeps defaulting to the roach race arcade when I'm trying to just get trauma drama. I'll spawn it in as trauma drama, save it, then save the preset, then when I reload the preset, it's fucking roach race again. Am I doing something wrong or is this mod just broken code cobbled together with string and scotch tape?

This game is one of the best ones I've ever played and I love that there are motorcycles in it, but why there is not a single cruiser? There is a whole faction inspired on motorcycle clubs, the nomads and yet they dont include the key part of that culture? I want to ride a chopper blasting a lever shotgun terminator style!

After having printed the previous version of my poster and discovering that the overall darkness made it difficult to see when framed (light reflects off the glass or plastic and the glare kills it) I have done a bunch of post processing in the hopes that it will turn out better.
