*** Cyberpunk 2077 ***

I'm assuming you are not using mods


Apart from the obvious delete/reinstall, you could also try using an older version:

In the Steam Library right click on Cyberpunk|Properties|Betas|Beta Participation: select 2.21
Yeah, unmodded.

Tried everything I've seen online. Even running at a lower resolution, DLSS/FSR both turned on and off, raytracing on and off, still the same.

It's now downloading 2.21

[edit] Aaaand 2.21 crashed after 25 minutes.... :(

Wondering now if I need to do a fresh install of windows and give that a go instead

After last playing this some time in 2023, downloaded it again last week and have been having a blast. Very different game in so much as the spec trees were totally redone and it felt a lot more fluid gameplay wise. Working my way through side gigs and world events for a bit before I jump onto buying the new expansion but I've sunk 10 hours in the last few days so clearly enjoying something!
 
Took a punt on this while it was on sale, path tracing seems to be playable on 4070 at 1440, sometimes its great and sometimes you can tell it's just too dark and they didn't optimise for it. It's also got some denoise fill in stuff going on but that's just as good things get at the moment.

It's still a janky game, but I knew what I was getting myself into :)
 
Aye, I think using either a torch mod or a night vision mod is essential when using PT
I'll take a look thanks.

game makes me lol, has more issues that I thought:

Stairs and NPCs being one of them. Did not one person test this game and say, 'that's not very realistic'?

I walk everywhere coz otherwise I get into a random car with people shooting at me but I can't shoot back - that maybe a skill thing. Coz it's all new I like walking around.

Sometimes when I spin around groups of people disappear and reappear - I thought this was a day one bug, nearly 5 years of patching later and that's still a thing.

I hack someone so they overheat and explode or something - how do the others know it was me? I walked backwards and they didn't seem to follow, then saw a cop so hid behind him, then spun around and bang bad guys spawn again, the cop starts shooting at me! so I evaded everyone by slowly walking away and around a corner and then got some xp for of it, sweet.

I think the bad guys attacking you is triggered by the starting quest, if so its a one of trigger. You can fight back (default key to equip a weapon in a vehicle is left ALT, you can immediatly get out of the vehicle once the combat flag comes up and fight or flee. You can also evade in your car.

Walking around Night City is fun, I do it a lot.

They are on networks - there are ways around that involving levelling up/better equipment. Quickly killing them can work as well, though not always.

It's an ok game, it's got some really weird stuff going on that could have easily have been fixed.

If I happen to be around a group of people when saving a game and then reload, a completely different group of people spawn.

The weapon shops and comparison is so bad. Apparently in order to compare the weapon you want it has to be loaded into one of the slots. No mod exists that can fix it. ok.

Cruising around at 150mph distance headlights simply disappear as I get closer.. hmm ok.

I can't map everything to ESDF. ok.

I haven't really tried many graphics settings except default, full PT, disable motion blur, fov 90, seems to run at a playable speed, some rooms are literally completely black :) but also pretty.

I've played a few longer sessions, I never restart Windows except for updates, for the first time the game was hitching/stuttering a lot, I think there is some memory leak or something coz total memory usage was at 56GB :eek:, rebooted Windows fixed it. The game hasn't crashed though.

Favourite part so far: NPCs making a big deal about needing to be super stealthy on a mission. I immediately go in through the front door with my shotgun. Then the game obviously was supposed to setup a big fight to get out again - everyone's already dead guys don't worry about it :)

Worst part so far: scripted car chases (same mission), wouldn't let me use the weapon I wanted, forced me to use crapo pistol or shotgun, but it actually didn't seem to matter if I actually took the cars out or not, we still reached the end.

I think coming off the back of TLOU and Baldur's Gate 3 has raised my expectations along with motion capture and lip syncing.

The plot/stories/missions are... happening. 30 hours in, I was getting beat by the cyberpunk crime boss fights but not anymore, just went around and have completed all of those. Who needs fancy upgrades when there is fridge you can repeatedly hop over! checkmate.

I like the high jump upgrade, kinda forgot I could upgrade all that stuff for a while :)

I wanted to mod my bum by that mod requires, another mod, which requires another 6 mods and one of the mods doesn't work so no modded arses for me. I have never managed to get mods to work in any game ever.

Now I tend to visit ever local crime on my way to each side mission, I have $400000 and a good weapon is about 10% better than what I have now and costs $120000, but it's more about what mods you put on and the gun feel. My guns tend to be shotgun, SMG and sniper. I keep trying others but seem to go back to those. Tier 5 weapons have started showing up - no idea what tiers mean.
 
Played a load more, enjoying it for what it is, a 8/10 game imo. Tried a few times but can't get mods to work, but had the same issue with most games, user error ;) Step 1, install Red4ext from github, fails to load, empty log file. If you have to install mods for better clothes and car handling but those mods can't be installed then I'm going to lose interest..

I now have $1.5 million, already seem to have the best weapons, nothing better has come along for a while, bought all the apartments, now just grinding through taking all the gigs and fighting all the crime since I don't want to do the main mission the game wants me to do (leave the city I assume).

I reset my attributes and put them in tech instead so I can open doors and get better paths, I've got 25 perk points to spend and no attribute points, need one more to unlock more body points, coz I needed my stealth points, don't care about smart weapons, I can aim ;).

I like some of the enemy NPCs have blade limbs, I thought that would have been a good option in the game for V: 'how far do you want to upgrade to machine parts vs human?' and the story could have been more about that..

The world isn't as alive or real compared to Deus Ex series, GTAs, RDR2, TLOUs, BG3, The Division. Maybe because it's future sci-fi. The city, people and faces lack something. Hasn't crashed though, but has a few bugs and laughable ******* scripted missions. When an NPC drives somewhere it feels like a camera floating in the world rather than we're in a car obeying the physics of the game, I suspect because doing that would have meant more work for them and they had to push it through and then fix everything instead of doing things properly.

You've got to wait for the core framework mods to be upgraded to the new patch, this can take a few days. Dependant mods may or may not need to be themselves upgraded which may or may not take time.

Patience grasshopper

Or revert to the previous version which you can find under Properties|Betas

Those who're running mods, has the latest patch 2.310 caused CTDs on save load for you?
Cheers.
I didn’t get that far as Vortex popped an error message and the game fired up with New Game +, Mods and Mod Settings missing from the Main Menu screen which is a sure fire sign that no mods got loaded.
 
Hey I finished the main game and got the DLC, enjoying it :) I have minor complaints but maybe that's their fault for the hyping the game up so much :p

Coming off games like TLOU has broken me in terms of what to expect from motion capture and lip sync, but also different games I guess.

Sometimes the NPCs are in uncanny valley and the way the game delivers the dialogue lines is frankly hilarious at times, there are really long pauses which I just don't understand. I don't understand the plot/story, the game hasn't done enough for me to care or believe that V cares so much about someone she just met 10 mins ago, for that reason I usually fast forward and let you game tell me: kill everyone or not? :)

Why do items stop at tier 5 and then carry on with 5++ breaking their own tier logic?

Trying to compare 2 weapons is both difficult and boring.

Rather than ran an NPC over, NPC cars stop instantly as if inertia doesn't exist. My theory on this is if the cars did run them over it would create too much chaos in the world but rather than dial things back subtly the devs took the easy option and made the cars always stop instead.

Traffic will remain stationary until I walk in front of one of the vehicles. I tested this and literally walk/run in front the traffic only moves forward when I'm in front on them, I take it this is the game having fun but make it less obvious!?

My motorbike is an unstoppable force that has a mass of 10 lorries the way I bounce off everything unscathed.

Taking a walk around the city with PT, especially during golden hour looks incredible at times. Last night on a walk I was approached by a random NPC who thought I was out of get her and she started picking a fight, again the cop does nothing except thinks I'm to blame somehow and starts shooting at me as well! I can jump 10 meters and I was away :) and then back again snapped both their necks and carried on my walk.

So it's a beautiful believable and sometimes unbelievable world.

I'll have another bash at mod install at some point. The DLC unlocks a whole load more clothes to the point were I'm carrying my wardrobe, I take I should transfer stuff to there to space carrying capacity, but how else am I supposed to accessorise.
