After 66 hrs one thing that is rage inducing is having to sit through 5/10/15+ minute long cut scenes in side stories (Delamain taxis, boxing etc) when, as it's just a side mission, the brief should give you a choice of either be "go to X and do Y" OR watch to long cut-scene to know WHY you're going to X to do Y.
Yup, mines just updated on Steam. Hopefully there is a 'stamp on phone' featureOoof. Hefty 9GB update just arrived on Gog.
Wasnt for me, about 4GBSTEAM patch is only 1.7GB
- [AMD SMT] Optimized default core/thread utilization for 4-core and 6-core AMD Ryzen(tm) processors. 8-core, 12-core and 16-core processors remain unchanged and behaving as intended. This change was implemented in cooperation with AMD and based on tests on both sides indicating that performance improvement occurs only on CPUs with 6 cores and less.
This is all very simplistic and ignores the fact that companies have deadlines. Admittedly a long time ago now but I have worked as a programmer (in an application dev team) and while some companies give you room to work and fix bugs, you do still have deadlines to meet. I have seen some prima-donna programmers stall an entire project and force a missed deadline because they could make their "masterpeice" use less RAM and they practically started from scratch very close to deadline day. Ironically the best programmers are really bad at seeing the big picture because they tend to be nerds or "on the spectrum". So if you leave them to manage their own project it will never get done.
Let's not forget these developers have had since 2012 to get a working game out the door and eight years later they release the buggy mess we have been presented with. This is the same regardless of the service/work you do in any field. You have deadlines to meet and if you keep missing them then the money dries up.
So please don't fall for the line that the poor devs did their best and the corporate types are to blame for any isuses we now see. This is very much a joint collaborative mess up by everyone at CDPR. Nerds given too much artisitc freedom and corporate types had believed them for too long before finally realising "what have we done". Finally the only option was to call time on an unfinished mess and releasing what they had and to compund it all, lying to the customer.
Well said. Software developers are a funny bunch at the best of times, and will drag a project out for as long as possible, if given half a chance. They absolutely must have deadlines, and management ensuring that those deadlines are being met.
They've had since 2013 to get this project out the door, and if that's not long enough, then something went very wrong during development. Blaming the suits is all very well, but they're not the ones actually working on the game.

Lol. How many more times you going to say the same thing with different words?Still glad i cancelled my preorder at the start of November. What a joke this company has become! Feel sorry for the devs cause this is really down to poor managerial decisions. Save yourself the hassle guys this game wont be fixed until March.
I feel let down a little I won’t lie. But that does not stop me enjoying what is there now. I know they will improve things with time and may add things they took out due to a lack of time with expansions. This is my type of game and will get many playthroughs over the years, just like Deus Ex games. I have well over 100 hours on my steam counter for Deus Ex Mankind Divided and plan to play it again sometime next yearPersonally haven't had a single crash... yet...
I'm not hating playing the game but there are things standing in the way of my enjoyment of it that shouldn't be - but it falls far short of the hype - not having any expectations I don't really feel as let down by the game as I know some are.
