Game of Shadows

CD Projekt Red has released a Cyberpunk 2077 update with a laundry list of bug fixes and stability improvements, some of which were preventing players from making progress in the game.

Though Patch 1.1 addresses a large variety of bugs and stability issues, CD Projekt says it’s just the beginning of a series of updates that’ll continue in the coming weeks with Patch 1.2, which the studio has described as « larger » and « more significant. »

« In this update, which lays the groundwork for the upcoming patches, we focused on various stability improvements and bugfixes, » CD Projekt said in a tweet.

You’ll find the complete Cyberpunk 2077 patch notes below, but some highlights for last-gen consoles, which seem to suffer the most, include « various crash fixes » on PS4 and Xbox One, and « improved memory usage for character creation, mirrors, scanning, camera remote control, menus (inventory, map) » for the Xbox One family of consoles. In general, crashes related to loading saves and opening/closing the game should be reduced on all platforms, and memory usage related to « characters, interactions, navigation, in-game videos (news, tv, etc.), foliage, laser effects, minimap, devices, AI, street traffic, environmental damage system, GPU-related, and more » should be improved.

Some of the specific fixes for quests and open-world issues we’ve experienced here at GamesRadar ourselves. For example, the M’ap Tann Pelen mission where you’re supposed to answer a call from Mr. Hands just flat-out didn’t work, and stopped us from going any further. Luckily, that’s one of a handful of call-related fixes detailed in the patch notes.
