This update adds support for DLSS 4 on PC and introduces various fixes, notably to SmartFrames on Xbox and Photo Mode across all platforms. For details, check the full list of changes below:

Photo Mode
  • Nibbles and Adam Smasher can now be spawned while V is in the air or in water.
  • Fixed the Facial Expression option for Adam Smasher.
  • Fixed an issue where Adam Smasher's glowing chest cyberware was missing.

  • Characters will now be properly saved in presets.
  • Spawned characters will now be visible after adding a background.
  • V's rotation and position will now be properly saved in presets.
  • Fixed an issue where adjusting the Up/Down slider for V wouldn't change their position between certain values.
  • NPCs that turn invisible after disabling the Surrounding NPCs option will no longer have collision.
  • Fixed an issue where loading a preset could cause additional light sources to appear even when disabled, or spawn them in incorrect positions.
  • Fixed an issue where the camera could get stuck on walls after setting Full Collision to ON.
  • Fixed an issue where camera settings would only apply after loading a saved preset twice.
  • Enabling a background will no longer change camera position.
  • Rotating the camera will now work properly with a background enabled.
  • Fixed an issue where the prompts for Move Camera and Rotate Camera would appear when the camera cannot be moved (e.g. when using the First-Person Perspective camera).
  • Fixed an issue where it wasn't possible to move the camera after spawning a character while highlighting the Edit Character option.
  • Disabling Chromatic Aberration in the Graphics settings will no longer affect the ability to adjust it.
  • Fixed an issue where some items in scenes disappeared after setting the Surrounding NPCs option to OFF.
  • Fixed an issue where enabling PhysX Cloth would unfreeze NCPD vehicles.
  • The rule of thirds grid will now properly adapt to the selected aspect ratio.
  • Fixed an issue where the image in a SmartFrame wouldn't be visible if accessed while V was not facing it.
  • Fixed an issue where opening Photo Mode simultaneously with Wardrobe or Stash caused the game to become unresponsive.
  • Fixed an issue where it was possible to access Photo Mode before a save file fully loaded, causing it to open without UI and block any further action.
  • Fixed other minor Photo Mode issues related to spawned characters, camera movement, controls, and more.
  • Fixed various UI issues in Photo Mode, SmartFrames and Gallery menus, including slider inconsistencies, localization errors, missing sound effects, incorrect behavior when interacting with certain features, and more.
Vehicle Color Customization
  • Fixed several texture and color inconsistencies for vehicles that have CrystalCoat applied.
  • Fixed an issue where the explanation of the spray paint icon was missing in the Autofixer tutorial pop-up after a vehicle contract was completed.
  • Fixed several minor UI issues in the CrystalCoat and TwinTone menus.
Character Creation
  • Randomizer settings in Character Creation will now be preserved after advancing to the Customize Attributes step.
  • Fixed an issue where the Piercing Color option would not be available in Character Creation after enabling piercings if V initially had none.
  • Fixed other minor issues in Character Creation, including appearance options not applying correctly, visual clipping, inconsistent UI behavior, functionality issues after using the randomizer, and more.
Miscellaneous
  • Run This Town - Fixed an issue where, under certain circumstances, it wasn't possible to deactivate the Aguilar imprint after meeting with Bennett.
  • Fixed several instances where Johnny could appear duplicated in the passenger seat during some quests when he was already present in the scene.
  • Fixed an issue where Johnny did not appear as a passenger often enough.
  • Introduced several fixes to NPC and vehicle behavior for various small events throughout Night City.
  • Fixed an issue where some vendors were not interactable as intended.
  • Fixed an issue where voiceovers on TV news channels could be missing or too quiet.
  • Fixed an issue where the Quadra Turbo-R V-Tech used a description of Quadra Turbo-R 740 instead of its own unique one.
  • Fixed the missing 2.2 "check what's new" pop-up in the main menu.
Console-specific
  • Fixed an issue where screenshots appeared as blank in the Gallery on Xbox if they were taken with HDR10 enabled.
  • Added a pop-up in the Gallery to notify players when access to screenshots is blocked by the console's privacy settings on Xbox.
  • Screenshots deleted on Xbox outside the Gallery UI will now be correctly marked in the Gallery and will disappear from occupied slots after reopening the Gallery.
  • Fixed an issue where the Graphics Mode on Xbox Series S could be set to Quality instead of Performance by default.
PC-specific
  • Added support for DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation for GeForce RTX 50 Series graphics cards, which boosts FPS by using AI to generate up to three times per traditionally rendered frame – enabled with GeForce RTX 50 Series on January 30th. DLSS 4 also introduces faster single Frame Generation with reduced memory usage for RTX 50 and 40 Series. Additionally, you can now choose between the CNN model or the new Transformer model for DLSS Ray Reconstruction, DLSS Super Resolution, and DLAA on all GeForce RTX graphics cards today. The new Transformer model enhances stability, lighting, and detail in motion.
  • Fixed artifacts and smudging on in-game screens when using DLSS Ray Reconstruction.
  • The Frame Generation field in Graphics settings will now properly reset after switching Resolution Scaling to OFF.
 
Great! Curious to test the new DLSS4 on my 4090. Now I just have to wait for all the mods to be updated. :D

EDIT: the new transformer model works already. The IQ increased DRASTICALLY. There are basically no more DLSS related artifacts.

Great job! But please:
  1. Pls make the armor description actually tell us how much damage is being negated!
  2. Pls fix mantis blades balance, they are the weakest arm cyberware, and bonuses don’t apply correctly to them

just... just download a mod that forces all arm cyberware, or just mantis blades to gain bonuses from melee attack speed bonuses...
 
Yeah, yeah, every time you do this, it slows down my driving progress until all updates for the mods are out and applied. Le sigh.

Do you have any feed to sub and be alerted ahead of time when a patch is going to hit?
 
Oof.. i just woke up and saw that cyberpunk had an update (i play on console Ps5 system) apparently i cant install it for some reason i have plenty of space i was forced to re-install the whole game again, also its good to see they still care bout this game and fixing minior issues over time :)
 
Still no fix for VRAM memory leak? I keep having to restart the game every couple of hours when I have Ray Tracing turned on cause eventually my VRAM gets full dropping FPS to 10-30 FPS when game starts off at 50-80 around beginning of the loading in.
 
The game's really come a long way from it's original release, still a lot of visual ghosting when moving at high speeds especially from the vehicle. Really wish it was more open-ended with the start of the game and your player character already having heavily augmented him or herself. My biggest request would be overhaul to the player characters movement and model, (wish it had a third person). It has so many cool armor sets it would be nice to be able to see yourself moving fluently throughout the world. I guess this applies to you in NPC's as well, there needs to be more sandbox consistent physics throughout the game. Side note, really miss upgrading armor pieces. I know it was trivial but being able to use the same piece of equipment but adding more slots or upping it's Rarity status felt like building an attachment to it. Or at least bring back clothing engrams. That felt more like collecting different crafting levels further expanding the use of the same piece of equipment over time. I hope they continue to tweak and patch. I was really hard on the game, and still am. Overall still giving it a 7 out of 10. It's an IP with a limitless potential, it has Rockstar levels of source material. It's just needing the detail and consistency
 
please fix neck seams on v. we’ve been requesting this for more than a year now. you’d think for a game that focuses so much on style and player customisation there’d be some level of detail attention to the pc body model but no, we have to rely on mods and if you’re on console well tough luck. is it so hard to fix?
 
This is all very good stuff I have one suggestion and I feel fans will resonate with this. Can you please fix the cyberware capacity shards. After awhile they stop spawning and it's possible to miss them if you aren't looting every enemy. Add a vendor that sells them or please just fix this bug. I've 3 different saves all max level and all of which have different cyberware capacity. This is excluding the edgrerunner perk and chrome compressor operating system. Its a serious flaw in game design and quite frankly the only issue I have with this amazing game.
 
No toggle to keep Johnny from appearing as a passenger - I have to emphasize this: my enjoyment of the game is lessened severely because of this addition to the game in 2.2. I get that fans who like Silverhand outnumber those who don't, but I don't even want to drive around the city anymore because he'll just randomly appear. Please make this a toggle so those of us who'd to like to drive around the city in peace can do so.

This is even worse in the earliest parts of the game after The Heist, right after he has attempted to kill you in your apartment. He'll just appear, all happy go lucky, saying "I've missed you" and other affectionate things - despite V and him being at odds. This is the same narrative dissonance we had when V and him would suddenly be friendly after the Delamain attack in the garage of Megabuilding 10 before the Tom's Diner conversation.

PLEASE make this a toggle so those of use who hate the character don't have to have him popping up so much. It's bad enough for those us who don't like him that he shows up in your apartment.

Please fix romance options , you can go pay a Joytoy whenever you feel like doing so but yet can’t do anything with romance options , it doesn’t make any sense
 
Dating Notifications

Please make an option where you can silence or pause the Dating quest notifications. Gets old after the 30th time...Yes I realize we are dating. No I don't need a visual Message notification constantly on my screen because Panam wants to swing by my apartment to chat.

Constantly having that message icon on my screen bothers me from an OCD perspective. I like my screen tidy.
Thanks!

Nice!

Although, I would love to see a fix for 'Balls to the wall' on Xbox. Can't get passed the first hit of the inhaler without a hanging black screen.
