Update 2.3 Patch Notes

[Aerpoweron]

CDPR (+ Virtuos) have unfortunately completely lost their focus...

Instead of providing more game content for players (how about, for example, bringing the casino behind North Oak to life and making it accessible, enabling the creation of playlists for radio stations, or at least fixing the graphical bugs that have been occurring since Phantom Liberty under RT/PT usage? We'll draw a veil of silence over the issues with the "new" skill trees for now...), they’re only serving up changes for social media influencers to enhance their self-presentation.

Sorry, I used to be a big fan of CDPR, but it seems they’ve sadly taken the path of most formerly successful game developers...

The Casino would be a DLC, with a proper story to it. I can understand they can not patch that just in.
The Ray / Path tracing is just a Nvidia tech demo part, it was never supposed to work completely. They would have to change the lighting of the whole map and the cutscenes to make it work properly. And that is just way too much work. Especially since only a small percentage of people even use Raytracing, even fewer Pathtracing. Not everyone can afford a 5090.

On the plus side:
* I Love the photomode changes. (contrary to the naysayers I actually know more players that use photomode than don't.)
* New missions are nice nice.

However, on the negative side:
* Almost no bugs were fixed, including some that existed since the beginning of the game.
* so much cut or unfinished content is still missing
* the new missions all seem to be related to acquiring vehicles, none of which were ones I've seen repeatedly requested (cop cars, flying avs.)
* the really stupid 2.1 skill trees aren't fixed or eliminated so that we can have actual build choices.
* the dogtown and downtown performance issues still aren't fixed.
* still aren't able to sit anywhere
* still need to heavily mod the game to interact with most prostitutes/joytoys/store venders

I can understand you negative sides. I would like to have more interactions in the game. But that won't happen officially
Can you be more specific what you mean with the Dogtown performance issues? As far as i am aware, they put more Graphically- and CPU-damanding stuff in there compared to the old parts of the game. Which is why version 2.x never was released for the PS4 or Xbox one

Got 3/4 vehicles, the quest for ARV-Q340 Semimaru not appearing, even though all the prerequisites are fulfilled.

Same here. No idea how to trigger it in game

I want to report a bug after the update. The car doesn't turn off the ignition anymore. As in you get out of the car, it turns off. And then as soon as you step out and the doors close. It starts by itself. Lights on and everything.

CDPR your RED engine has to be studied by PHD professors. It is stunning how you fix one problem and your RED engine generates another one that didnt even existed in the first place. I mean its funny at times, but i can imagine it drives not only us, but you and the virtiouso team up the wall too. Glad you guys are switching to the UNREAL engine. I mean I love the RED ENGINE (because of sentiments. And it has been a part of your company since day one, but it has brought more trouble than good) Time to shoot the wounded horse sadly

@Aerpoweron
Why are modders are able to give you access to the casino?

CDPR advertises RT/PT every time... besides, it used to work for me perfectly until PL.

With every patch the graphics got more worse: LOD turned down more and more, the RT/PT lighting thing and now once again npcs in mud texture aesthetics.

Nope, that sounds like massive problems with their versioning system. Why there were a lot of old errors again in PL although they were fixed in 1.63? And I guess it's the same problem between CDPR and Virtuos.

And no, I don't have a 5k disaster in my PC to run RT/PT... I can deal with my current solution.
Your reasoning regarding the small percentage affected may be correct, but that's a way to dismiss many remaining bugs as not worth fixing.

@Alicja. I have a complaint, as a day one player I feel I should have been consulted on the release date for this patch! Today is inconvenient, it is my son's birthday and therefore apparently I have to interact with my family and "celebrate" rather than play CP2077. I have to work tomorrow and on Saturday I have numerous chores that must be attended to.
In future please ensure that adequate consideration is given to my prior engagements. How am I supposed to give my opinion on what I would have preferred you to include in the patch if I can't find time to play?

Thanks again

Since the update will be coming to Nintendo Switch 2 at a later date, will this update affect compatibility of the cross save system between this update on other systems and Switch 2?

2.3 update should be available on Switch 2 now, so no problem

 

[alaritos37]

I can't accept the user agreement in the game menu, reinstalling and checking the files did not solve the problem. I clicked and scrolled with the mouse, it does not help, the buttons did not work with the gamepad either, but I can exit by holding down ESC

Modders have the time and want to do something. When you work you are usually on a schedule and have other things to work on.
I agree that it would be really cool to have that working. But you have to test it properly, and add in some kind of related story to it in my opinion.
CDPR has to advertise it because Nvidia sponsored it, and CDPR got money from them.

No idea about the LOD issue, but that should be fixed then. It has always been an issue as far as i have seen

My guess about the Issues in Phantom Liberty is, that they based it on an earlier version, not 1.63. Maybe the same applies to the new patch? Some fixes were not implemented from that last version. Yep, i think they have issues with their versioning system. No FSR 3.1 upscaling when FSR 4.0 is supposed to work. I checked it ingame and FRS 3.0 is still the highest they offer, and it looks the same as before.

Glad you didn't have to experience the whole Nvidia 5000 disaster.

 

[jeancastex]

New vechicles are nice, but auto pilot just doesn't work great, it doesn't work at all in some parts of North Oak (or it's trying to kill me ?) and sometimes stop cause "Vehicle blocked" for no reason.

 

[victorrazvan777]

1. separate at least of 1 console patch to the rest of devices is a great things. don't let anything slow you down, even go further, release pc patch only
2. dlss isn't latest available for pc, same for fsr. idk for xess. you can use dlss swapper on pc.
3.the arasaka girl is dissapearing when open the laptop near caliburn
4.got a tv bug - didn't display anything. no mods and file checked twice
5.worst of all - can't stop cars with car quickhacks. this is extreme important cause I can't stop new caliburn gig
6.heavy hearts lift - keycard required - why, I've finished all dogtown gig. it's a good bye for mr hands?

Change the installation language in GOG Galaxy, then change it in the game language later.

Even though I meet the requirements for it, River's quest for new yaiba car doesn't trigger. Even after waiting for several days in game. Reloaded the save waited again and i didn't receive any massages from him. Also lot of crashes happening on PC/Windows 11

I have a different issue. My game is heavily modded, and I can't play until some of the major mods are updated. I think they should have waited until those mod updates are ready before releasing 2.3.

@Aerpoweron
FSR 3.1 wasn't announced as upscaler but for FG.

 

[Frank412]

Since 2.0 radio hosts has been broken. At some points they just stop making announcements. Particularly all non DLC stations (for some reason Growl FM is kind of consistent) 2.3 now and we still have this bug.
It has been reported several times and numerous posts have been created. Can you PLEASE fix it?

 

[radosuaf_]

What's the point of updating only the FG component, aside for FSR 4 implementation?
Much more users would benefit from upscaling version update, especially considering in what state the version 3.0 is in CP2077... So you're actually forced to use 2.1 or XeSS.

 

[ADCCCAD]

I can't believe that the HERRERA GTS, a luxury car, still doesn't have its own exclusive color scheme after the 2.3 update. I don't understand why many cheap cars have exclusive colors, but the HERRERA GTS still has only regular colors. In addition, in the 2.2 version, if you get out of the car without straightening the steering wheel, the vehicle will maintain the original steering posture, but after the update, it is forced to automatically straighten. I think this is unnecessary, and it makes the V lose some of the unique coolness of skilled drivers.

 

[Aerpoweron]

@Aerpoweron

I know. The naming from AMD and Nvidia not really helping here.
What bugs me tho, why is a new driver needed for FSR 4 to work?
Even FSR 3.1 works on drivers released before it was a thing. I can play FSR 3.1 games on a GCN GPU, like the HD7970.

 

[ADCCCAD]

难以置信，HERRERA GTS 这款豪车在 2.3 更新后竟然没有自己的专属配色。我不明白为什么很多平价车都有专属配色，而 HERRERA GTS 却仍然只有普通配色。此外，在 2.2 版本中，如果下车时没有将方向盘摆正，车辆会保持原有的转向姿态，但更新后却强制自动摆正。我觉得这完全没必要，而且会让 V 失去一些技术娴熟的车手特有的酷劲。

@Alicja To make matters worse, Even if the roadside GTS car paint is purchased, it is not an effect at all when it is applied to your own car, not only the color difference, but also all the original metal texture is removed, which is very ugly, like a child's casual painting....I uploaded a screenshot of the most obvious gap as evidence.

 

[MegaErnstX]

Thank you so much for this drove me insane.

• Fixed an issue where, when using a controller in Trauma Drama, the controllable character would default to shooting upwards instead of forward.
• Fixed an issue where the sound of V's Radioport could be randomly interrupted by the Radioports of nearby NPCs.

The Rayfield Caliburn "Mordred" is AWESOME and I LOVE Auto Drive, new angles and new views of the familiar and less familiar streets in photo mode.

I am thankful to CDPR for caring enough to keep updating Cyberpunk. In patch 2.4, I would appreciate the ability to sit on any bench and watch the city life around V. Sleeves down would also be a nice touch. Anything we get, we are thankful.

Oh hell yes even at all the restaurants and side cafes basically anywhere there is a chair or stool with enough space to occupy, perhaps even on steps?
