What’s new in Night City? [Patch 1.2 development insight]

[Deusexyourface]

If you watch this highlight video posted by CDPR, you can see what is a "possible" downgrade when it shows the new patch version. I am hoping this is my mistake. The game has many issues, removing one of the positives it has going for it, is a step backwards.

Anyone else have input on this? Like I said, I hope I am wrong here. I do not want to have to keep my pc offline to force Steam not update this.

I don't see any evidence of what you're claiming, on the other hand I see a lot of hatred going around directed towards the fans, the game, the board, CDPR devs, management etc.

All you have to do is visit the official subreddit to see this. I will never forget when someone posted about how they were suicidal and the game saved their life. Even on that post people felt the need to harass the OP about liking the game, although they were eventually downvoted once the post gained a little traction in spite of getting downvoted hard initially.

I guess bullying recently suicidal people about their taste in video games is where most of the community draws the line, though you still see the same type of harassment on many other posts that express a positive view of the game.

I'm grateful for the existence of forums like this where the worst toxicity is kept in check from either side.

Not really, reflections in video #2 are looking better on 1.2.

This isn't a patch, this is a joke.

I can understand if you are a fan for this game, but some people would be happy if they would put in a cat that can shit.

Well better than nothing am I right?

Not really? are you genuinely saying 1.2 looks better?

The reflections are less, Look at the foliage?

There's grass missing. Interesting.

 

[Guest 3847602]

I see now, yeah looks like density is slightly decreased. Which is weird because visibility range seems the same and that setting is 9 times out of 10 more demanding than density.

ok, very well then. And now, can you please share link to full patch notes for 1.2?

Laughed myself to tears, had to take a break every segment, good stuff

I was about to post a response to this in the other thread, it looks to me like it's a random foliage generator tweak as to not have the grass spawn close to solid objects due to clipping, as you can see as soon as the camera turns around you can observe the same foliage density as before just farther away from the tarmac.

I could be wrong though and if I am I'm unsure as to why they would reduce the foliage density like that as it has very little to no impact - although I have noticed a distinct frame drop around the Shrine in North Oak (A Shrine Defiled Gig) due to foliage density, but it's just around that area and not a general thing for me.

Yeah, but there isn't any clipping in that area, though. So it's really interesting as to why they decided to remove those patches of grass. But I guess clipping can be a problem for other areas. So, we'll see.

That's just it, the way the random foliage is generated is procedural, the tweak might simply involve the foliage being spawned some distance away from solid objects - and this usually is a general blanket tweak that affects all the procedurally generated foliage regardless of location.

From my experience with modding TES foliage density anyway .

Please for the love of God fix the audio issues as well
Am not able to hear any music in-game

Not from radios, not in-car, not in clubs, not anywhere - Since launch, and after all the patches also

It's just like a slight hum

Tried changing ALL the settings, checked my audio drivers, went into the Control Panel and started fiddling around

THE AUDIO IS BROKEN - PLS FIX

Windows 10 - GOG Galaxy - Lenovo - Laptop - Lenovo Y540

I'm enjoying Cyberpunk.
But please, allow the player to customize V. Or at least to have a haircut.
Also, please fix the settings on xbox one. I can't change the gamma.

Thanks! I still have hopes on this game.

So, basically, instead of just deploying the patch, CDPR are delaying and trying to hype up again? Really? Never happened and yet again

What makes you think the patch is going to be delayed? This blog post just seems like a showcase of some relatively minor, but necessary, QoL updates before the patch is deployed.

Incredible. They're gonna gas people up, AGAIN, just before the eleventh hour. More "Just a taste", "just a preview". Same as the demos in years gone by.

It may have been harped on already, but I don't have time to read every post; Anyone notice the frame rate drop? Seriously, in the "updated" steering video, patch 1.2 vs 1.12 shows a very noticeable frame drop. I had already reserved myself to playing at a locked 30FPS, before finally shelving the game, because I would prefer minor chugging with maxxed graphics over decent graphics with maxxed fps dips... What are you doing??
