Game crashing on old CPUs: possible fix
If you happen to have an old CPU you maybe having this crash:
Expression: EXCEPTION_ILLEGAL_INSTRUCTION (0xC000001D)
The game is trying to use a feature you don’t have: AVX.
At the beginning playing corpo when you sit it crashes. A possible temporal solution while they fix this issue is to remove this part of code:
Edit Cyberpunk2077.exe with a hexadecimal editor and search for
554881ECA00000000F2970E8
Change the first byte to C3 (return from the function):
C34881ECA00000000F2970E8
Please note this fix is extremely simplistic and naïve. Moreover, it could crash the game later. This change seems to fix this crash and you can continue playing the game. I have only tested a few minutes more.
FAQ: Why are they using AVX?
They are not doing it on purpose, it is probably the default configuration of the compiler.
I confirm that this works to skip the spot at the exit of the bar, as a Street Kid. Will continue to play further, check if something else bugs out
