Patch 2.02

[Somnulus]

So... I loved the story expansion, it was excellent.

Not too wild about the clothing changes, but ah well.

Cyberware changes are very interesting.

The thing I liked the absolute least about the changes is the negative impact to handgun / AR / SUB users like myself.

I played through on very hard (my typical playthrough) and guns have become completely underwhelming.

I feel like I am playing The Division and not Cyberpunk.... Pouring rounds into enemies and taking forever to take down anything over a standard oppo.

Then I thought I would see the light when I finally got my hands on Comtade's Hammer... One of my absolute favorite weapons in my previous 20 some odd playthroughs. Nothing beats putting 1,000 to 1500 pts of sheer stopping power into an oppo.

Except no. Welcome to the brave new world where Comrade's Hammer is a tech weapon with no charge up and does a disappointing 500 (tad bit more maybe) pts of damage.

This is the single most nonsensical change I have seen. It is a single shot weapon that has a fairly long reload, even with cyber and perks. The main advantage was the ability to take an oppo's arm, leg, or head straight off in a single shot.

Honestly, it's fairly useless now. Especially with the explosive changes that make it so that if you hit a target that is too close, you take damage as well.

I've rolled Don't Fear the Reaper multiple times in past playthroughs, but this time, no matter what I do I can't lay down enough damage to get to the end with a reasonable amount of health.

It is really disappointing that it looks like the only viable method is to cheese it with maxed out blades.

Definitely need to take a look at the weapons and start doing some balance patching across the board.

Give me the REAL Comrade's Hammer back... Right now, it's Comrade's Whiffle Bat.

 

[Cyberdodo]

Comrade's Whiffle Bat.

Funny! But sad too.

 

[Sick_console_res]

Just curious if this game I paid 60 dollars for is going to have a way so I can fit the whole screen on my TV. I have no setting on my TV for this so I am just sol.

Typical same NPC situation after 2.02 (Hello red mohavk girl)

[Saul_Ormandy]

The patch notes say you have fixed the issue with cyberwear not looking correct in first person, but my character still has a ballistic compresser in their hand even though I don’t own or have one equipped, I was forced to install it early in my play through at Viks, it sounds so minor but it’s really immersion breaking and ugly too IMO

Console-specific

• Increased the sav.dat internal buffer size to 15MiB without increasing the overall max save size.

• Remastered the voiceover to improve audio quality in German, Simplified Chinese and Japanese.

Wow that's a lot of stuff

 

[Saul_Ormandy]

The patch notes say you have fixed the issue with cyberwear not looking correct in first person, but my character still has a ballistic compresser in their hand even though I don’t own or have one equipped, I was forced to install it early in my play through at Viks, it sounds so minor but it’s really immersion breaking and ugly too IMO

Is anyone even on this ?

 

[NihilistZealot]

The whole "scaling skill check" thing that's been added to the game is awful and really needs to be removed. It was fine the way it was, why'd anyone take a hammer to a perfectly functional system? All it's doing is hurting players like myself who wish to engage in a "jack of all trades" type of play and force specific play styles, particularly as the player progresses through the game.

Locking players out of random quests because they didn't start them as early as possible is asinine -- not to mention the whole idea of increasing requirements as players level up just ruins the entire progression path.

Enemies are already scaling to the player level which eliminates a sense of progression in combat, loot likewise scales to your level, these things are fine to scale given CDPR has completely removed any other sense of player improvement throughout the game with changes to clothing resulting in them being mostly cosmetic and the correct course of action is just to scrap all the clothes that don't provide a tangible bonus to V in some way to get crafting materials ( which are extremely scarce unless we're going around like a cyberpsycho taking out every gonk around to get their random gear to crush).

Modding is abysmal now. Getting weapons with pre-filled mod slots that you can't disassemble for said mod or REPLACE THE MOD at the very least means the only purpose to many of these items is once again to fuel the poorly reworked system for crafting. Crafted gear is STILL almost always worse than any variant you can find as a random drop because of COURSE the random drops have the potential for MORE mod slots, whereas the crafted equipment has none or occasionally 1 depending on the spec.

Cyberware drops should at least be prominent from groups like Scavs and Maelstrom given that the latter gets their kicks chroming out monks and the former rip the hardware from their victims.

Experienced a complete break of the game as soon as i defeated Atom Smasher with Panam. Entire game froze and blue screened my computer a couple minutes later.. Restarted the computer to the same effect (upon boot gets to the cyberpunk title screen and freezes). I've verified files, uninstalled and reinstalled the game to no avail. I have also booted up similar games with the same resource drain and they work fine. Looks like i wont be playing anytime soon rip i was so close to finishing. (side not if it helps was running the DLC before this fight, was waiting on last mission completion)

 

[Twztdkitten]

My NC vehicle database is still blank, hold the V key and the vehicle selection window pops up but no vehicles to select or choose even though I own 5. If I tap the V key the last vehicle I acquired is spawned. The only work around was installing a mod called "Random Vehicle Summon" and each time I call my ride one of the 5 show up so I know the game registers that I own those vehicles. Kind of frustrating hope it gets patched soon, I have seen posts by other players expressing the same issue. It wasn't happening in 2.0 but started in both 2.01 and 2.02.

 

[Cyberdodo]

Cyberpunk 2077 2.0X must be a horrifying mess of spaghetti code, given how many weird things break with each patch that is supposed to fix things, not break them.

 

[Cz_BladE]

Cyberpunk 2077 2.0X must be a horrifying mess of spaghetti code, given how many weird things break with each patch that is supposed to fix things, not break them.

Tbh, almost every big rpg is like this, take Baldurs Gate 3 e.g. - with each patch they introduce so many new issues as well, it´s just part of these games. Although I do agree, that 1.63 was almost flawless and with 2.0, a ton of things got broken unfortunately.

Players can debate if they think the sweeping changes are good or bad but the bottom line was the game got high praise and great ratings/reviews AS IT WAS even with all the bugs. So to me it makes no sense to change the game (mechanics) into another game.

"If it is not broken do not fix it."

Unless it is for a reason other than making the satisfied players of THIS game happy.

 

[ImSpontaneou5]

There's a bug at the final stage of "The Heist" where if you reload a save after exiting the vehicle, Jackie's corpse disappears. ALSO PLEASE ADD FSR 3.0 IM SUFFERING WITH AN AMD GRAPHICS CARD

 

[Madae]

Fix this please.

It's still not fixed?

 

[Iferrebee]

So figured I would pop back into 77 since new update drops in a few days and

Surprise to me

Time doesn't move anymore. If it's 8:59 then it's always 8:59 only way to change time is to wait

Is this a new bug?
And how do I fix it on console

 

[MartineDee]

I have a tip.

The combination of the double jump and forward-dodge allows for very fast movement.
But that is not the tip. The tip is how to use it.

Double jump + forward-dodge will get you somewhere. But try this...

Run
Jump
Dodge forward
Press jump again right after to initiate the double jump

The distance is greater, because the fast forward-dodge movement is initiated in an earlier phase of the double jump, allowing V to move a longer distance in one.

 

[MartineDee]

Another tip. Here's the way around Dallas Foster not dying.
