Important Update

[messeboy]

We all know CDPR didn't setout to make a bad game for any platform. It's often a tough decision to put more focus on certain platforms such as new gen consoles and PC.

People often forget that W3 launch was met with the same backlash, regarding downgrades, performance issues and the like. It became GOTY not only because of the game itself, but also the continuous support from the developer. I believe CDPR also offered refunds for the W3.

It was definitely shady for them to conceal the issues with the last gen platforms, so I hope they can redeem themselves in the coming weeks. However, I think we still need to appreciate CDPR for how they handled this situation.

Well, did they conceal or simply not reveal it?

I keep thinking back at Dragon Age : I as a prime example of this topic.

It released at the start of the current gen (ps4 & xboxO).
Bioware didn't show anything either for the older gen, but no one was this surprised when it looked outdated.

People are trying to get the newest tech to run on 7 year old hardware. Its never gonna be "great", and as people accepted that with DA: I, I think its time to do the same now.

It is what it is,,,
I am kind of addicted now,so it looks like I am in it for the long haul.

critic about the endings and something CDPR are not addressing in that update -->

Spoiler

They don't say anything about adding new endings in the future or give us some dlc to keep V alive........ all those 7 endings are pure trash, they fucked up big time and they don't seem to care, though most people agree that the endings sux.

Nooo worries, first game of its kind right out the gates isnt gonna be perfect and if it was... Your probably not human. Game run fantastic on PC, some bugs and glitches are out there for sure but overall... I'am pleased. Keep em comming CdproRed! Your doing great!

 

[Kieran_Grosvenor]

OK, I don't care about the patches though...I mean I care about the patches and all (support is good), but where's my next gen update for the ps5? No one heeded my words back in the day about no console gameplay, so now I AM asking, where is the next gen update for the ps5? FYI, I've been a fan of the company since 2006.

WHERE IS THE NEXT GEN PATCH UPDATE?

How about you just be patient, it's clear the RTX is powered by Nvidia and needs more work on Amd RNDA2... Not at all that simple my dude.

Today my PC installation of CP2007/Patch 1.04 works just fine, at least technically. Why? I don't know - I did not touch my gaming computer since yesterday. Was it some patch that finally migrated somehow to Steam and my PC?

Nope, I was overoptimistic. With SLI disabled the game is playable but still it is rather impossible to play 15 minutes without crashing PC. Almost always these crashes happen while in the reddish interface screens to Options, Inventory, Character or Trading. Just for checking I tried to play Witcher 3 that I keep installed on the same PC. It runs without problems on max setting wit SLI enabled or disabled.

I wanted to say . This game is truly amazing. I know there are some bugs and some of the older systems have problems running it, but they will fix it. I know they will. look at games like no man's sky and death stranding. Big issues in the beginning and they became some of the best all time. I am patient, while they fix the issues, you have my support. You can see the same passion in this game and I believe they WILL fix the issues. They wanted to get this in the wild as so many people were disappointed from the delays including myself. And they did just that, there are bugs, yes. They can be fixed. I couldnt even play Deus Ex Mankind Divided when it released until a patch came out months later. So I waited and now it runs beautifully. This will not take as long. I actually bought this game on 3 different systems becasue of how great it is and if one didnt work I had other options. I love it, the amount of content is astounding. I cannot say enough about how this game is put together. It is everything it was hyped up to be. What I dont understand is people will pay premium prices for Early Access, or dump tons of money into microtransactions, but cant be patient with a masterfully created game. Nothing compares to the amount of content, I have played watch dogs and thought, wow I wish there was more than the hacking, this game delivers on that. Its an action RPG, FPS, story driven, crafting, racing, blockbuster. It has some of the best components of so many games. And frankly I am suprised they were able to pull it off. I am ranting on here longer than I wanted, and all over the place, but I wanted to say I am in full support of this game. I love it, just be patient they will fix it. And enjoy this work of art. I was not a big Witcher fan but this one sold me on cd project red, and GOG frankly. I love what they are doing and I am fan for life. Thank you for all your hard work. I look forward to where you go from here. PS if you cant run it on ps4 or Xbox. Buy it on Stadia, you get a free system when you purchase it right now through the 17th so hurry up. It runs perfect on their or on Alienware if you can afford one. Come on people cut them some slack. Stadia is amazing as well. I have 75 games, I bought maybe 5. for 9.99 they give you lots of free games each month, and its free with cyberpunk so what are you complaining about get it on there untill they fix the ps4 and xbox ones. Thanks for listening.

 

[SimpleJack2008]

Thanks for the update. Hope there will be a 60fps mode for the Series S sometime next year. Happy Holidays and New Year!

Let's lay down a list of what was promised to us but it was found missing from the game.

- AMAZING AI that directs enemies during combat/patrol but also citizens and npcs' daily life ( https://www.reddit.com/r/cyberpunkgame/comments/kbk4ap )

- wanted system and corrupt police (https://gamerant.com/cyberpunk-2077-wanted-system-corrupt-police/)

-Immersive police involvment changing with the area where you commited the crime (https://www.usgamer.net/articles/cyberpunk-2077-producer-details-law-enforcement)

- in general, way more interesting combat and hacking (

). Some examples are the ability to use your wire to hack people (

), hacking reveales information about the network, more interesting viruses to upload, more loot from hacked devices.

- more interesting gameplay, for example: trauma team that plays a key role, freequent flying avs, ads that target the player point to the merchant that sells that product, merch could be pre-viewed before purchase (Source:

and

) NOTE: this section is by far the most oversimplied one. There are a number of minute key things I am not stating in this thread because I don't want to dilute it too much.

- Strong RPG elements (https://wccftech.com/cyberpunk-2077-is-a-much-deeper-roleplaying-experience-than-the-witcher-3-says-dev/)

- NPC unique daily routine and AI (https://www.tweaktown.com/news/73048/over-thousand-cyberpunk-2077-npcs-will-have-unique-daily-routines/index.html)

- Quest decisions will have relevance in the world (https://onlysp.escapistmagazine.com/cyberpunk-2077-changes/)

- Meaningful day and night cycle (right now it's just cosmetic and doesn't impact the gameplay): Exploring Cyberpunk's Night City with CD Projekt Red - Cyberpunk 2077 - Gamereactor

- Incredible character customization during creation / in-game (https://gamecrate.com/cyberpunk-2077-boxing-power-weapons-militech-spider-robot-and-more/23426 and https://www.gamesradar.com/uk/cyberpunk-2077-character-creation/)

- Use of drones for more than just some missions in the game (https://gamecrate.com/cyberpunk-2077-boxing-power-weapons-militech-spider-robot-and-more/23426)

- three different lifepaths and more that would actually have more impact than what we are getting now (Wall running and metro system are not the biggest thing to be cut out from the game. Its the plot : cyberpunkgame (reddit.com)

- to add on the previous point, lifepaths leading to non-linear quest design (https://www.playstationlifestyle.net/2019/09/12/cyberpunk-2077-lifepath-system/)

- Nanowire and gorilla arms have a lot of different uses that are still in the description of the item (https://twitter.com/CyberpunkGame/status/1153684171606450178?s=09).

- Runs very well on last gen consoles (source NOT needed)

- The game will launch when it's ready (source NOT needed)

- Variety of braindances instead of it being just few cutscenes (can't find reference, please link)(so far videos like this https://youtu.be/ToWfeUEAeeQ?t=1167 point that braindance is a cool mechanic but they never said we'd be able to purchase and use the braindances on our devices and all. I don't feel this is a broken promise, rather an aspect of the game that we would love to have had implemented).

- Challenging weather system that would pose a threat to your survival (https://www.windowscentral.com/cyberpunk-2077-features-acid-rain-and-other-deadly-environmental-challenges)

- At time of writing I haven't finished the game. However sources say there are very very few options for ONS and/or deep romances (this article summarizes what was expected https://www.ginx.tv/en/cyberpunk-2077/cyberpunk-2077-everything-about-relationships-romance-and-sex)

Features that were initially promised but later announced to have been removed:

- Properties purchase and customization options (https://www.reddit.com/r/cyberpunkgame/comments/9bu0d5/purchasable_apartments_confirmed/)

- Transportation system (Promised but then removed https://www.gamepressure.com/newsroom/cyberpunk-2077-wont-show-subway-travel/z41f9d)

- Scaling walls (https://www.ign.com/articles/cyberpunk-2077-wall-running-mantis-blades-cut)

- Vehicle customization (https://www.altchar.com/game-news/cyberpunk-2077-wont-have-vehicle-customisation-aonab8e3yY6b)

-u/SpikeCraft on Reddit

I have to say if we don't get what was promised and advertised above, we will never think of CDPR the same way again.

Ask to Sony and Microsoft what they think about...about 'Hurry up the game because we need to close financial statements'...

P.S. PC gamers will also be getting regular updates and fixes improving the game.

I would hope that PC gamers will get their updates and fixes sooner/around the same time, and not after the console update

They are working on...

 

[TZODnmr2k5]

They are working on...

Yeah, I suppose you're right, they were quite vigilant with their Witcher 3 title, (Preordered that game as well) after all, I'm simply holding out on my playthrough until the bugs/AI/horrific performance issues get fixed, so I'm just being a little impatient as I really want to get back into my game properly!

Complete agreement. The game is finished at 30% for 100% of the price.

 

[Sp4gh3tt1_M0nst3r]

I understand, I'm with you . I know who's fault it is its those bigwigs who are always more worried about money so they push devs to rush a game resulting the mess that you guys are in now. I would of prefferd that the game be delayed for another year to give everyone an awesome experience but it doesn't always work out that way. So far on my ps4 pro I've had only a few issues nothing game breaking . Either way patches will come out till then I'll just keep enjoying night city .

 

[Men_Of_Culture]

I have a blast with that game! Honestly, i didn't encounter any bug at all. I would actually like a barber shop and other shop where we could change our appearance anytime, could be really nice. Overall, I have nothing more to say, for me it's a masterpieces, can't stop playing it.

 

[legendarythief33]

I asked this a little while ago but I want to make sure it isn't lost in the sea of comments but with the fact that we have only 4 romance options in the game and not one of them is bisexual really limits how many romances we have available. So I have to ask, can we possibly get an update that makes Judy Alvarez bisexual?

I'm not requesting that we make all the characters bi, since I know you guys wanted to make relationships more realistic in the game, but not having at least 1 of them be bisexual is kind of unrealistic as well and who better than arguably a lot of people's favorite character in the game.

I mean both male and female V only have two options each which is a very small number for such a big game. You could at least make Judy Bisexual and maybe give female V another romance option so we at least have three options for each gender instead of just two. Still a small number but it's a slight improvement and gives us at least a little more variety. Also, just about all of us love Judy regardless if we are male or female gamers, and we would all really thank you for it.

 

[Frostbyte2300]

Have only experienced a few of the reported bugs so far but glad to see a company staying on top of reported problems and actively letting their community know of their plans to fix them. Thanks CD, you're appreciated.

 

[ridicule170]

patch stadia.
it's thoroughly broken, just as the other releases

 

[TooLazyToFin]

Dear gamers,

First of all, we would like to start by apologizing to you for not showing the game on base last-gen consoles before it premiered and, in consequence, not allowing you to make a more informed decision about your purchase. We should have paid more attention to making it play better on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Second, we will fix bugs and crashes, and improve the overall experience. The first round of updates has just been released and the next one is coming within the next 7 days. Expect more, as we will update frequently whenever new improvements are ready. After the holidays, we’ll continue working — we’ll release two large patches starting with Patch #1 in January. This will be followed by Patch #2 in February. Together these should fix the most prominent problems gamers are facing on last-gen consoles. We will be informing you about the contents of each patch ahead of their release. They won't make the game on last-gen look like it’s running on a high-spec PC or next-gen console, but it will be closer to that experience than it is now.

Finally, we would always like everyone who buys our games to be satisfied with their purchase. We would appreciate it if you would give us a chance, but if you are not pleased with the game on your console and don’t want to wait for updates, you can opt to refund your copy. For copies purchased digitally, please use the refund system of PSN or Xbox respectively. For boxed versions, please first try to get a refund at the store where you bought the game. Should this not be possible, please contact us at helpmerefund@cdprojektred.com and we will do our best to help you. Starting from today, you can contact us for a week up until December 21st, 2020.

Humbly

I'm not sure where I post bug reports so I will post it here and hopefully someone can direct me to the right location. After the recent patch I have been getting a visual glitch where the screen ... glitches? I don't know how to describe. At first it only happened when I was driving a car and exited the vehicle, so I switched to bikes. It has started doing it when getting off of bikes as well. I used to be able to fix it by entering/exiting the vehicle a few times. It no longer works and is actually hurting my eyes to look at. I have not seen any reports of this anywhere else.

 

[Barry_Stratta]

So, need to bring online all the developers and push updates now, all the good boys and girls getting this game in thier stockings need an update so their is going to be better received. Don't delay updates, just keep pushing improving updates.
