Performance seems worse on Series X after the patch. But it could be that I am in new areas that would have had these issues before the patch.

it's not much worse than any other AAA open world RPG game

the biggest issues are the crashing and crappy performance on consoles.

Agreed, let's not be hypocritical here and act like a game getting hotfixes is some kind of unique situation.

Watchdogs Legion had like 5 patches in a week after launch and still had a gamebreaking save bug on Xbox for a month. The game would literally not save, costing hours and hours of progress and essentially rendered the game unplayable because you couldn't progress.. But because it's Ubisoft everyone just shrugs and goes "well what did you expect, it's Ubisoft".

I'm not saying Cyberpunk isn't a broken mess on consoles, but let's not go crazy here over a patch changelog.

 

[#Phonepunk#]

Tons of devs have released broke ass games without offering refunds or anything at all.

It’s hilarious that everyone was earlier this year applauding Microsoft purchasing Bethesda when Fallout 76 was just as big a shitshow. Bethesda was selling on their own platform and didn’t even bother with refunds. For another launch disaster there was Batman Arkham Knight which was so broken on PC they removed it from Steam shortly after release.

It’s amazing how people get selectively pissed off at some companies and give others a free ride.

Imo we should be applauding their refund policy and demanding it for other games. They want to make things right. That’s more then you can say for some studios

 

[nowhat]

They want to make things right.

Right... so how about not holding back console codes before release and telling people the game runs "surprisingly well" on base consoles? Like, not create the problem in the first place?

 

[Arun1910]

Same here, but i''m limited by my GPU so didn't see any FPS gains.

For me it gave me a 15-20fps gain.

CPU usage went from hovering between 40-60% to 60-80% and my GPU usage went up to 98%.

lmao for real

You replied saying I know better than a game programmer. I'm not a game programmer, I'm a software developer though, I know how compilers work, I read up to why the AMD hex fix works.

Also you don't need any knowledge of compilers to just read numbers. My CPU and GPU were heavily under utilised until I did the hex editor fix and it was a night and day different in usage and performance.

 

[Explosive Zombie]

Good sign of things to come.

 

[Captain Toad]

I would say the camps are PC/XSX/SS and Last-Gen/PS5. And I only think the game is good right now. I'd wouldn't say I hated it or loved it.

Not spread FUD. The game runs every bit as good on PS5 as Series S/X.

The only difference is the toggle option for a lower framerate mode no one would use. This kind of FUD console warrior lies should be a bannable offense imo.

 

[vkbest]

In PS5 performance is much worse than before, driving is terrible now, besides they broken the lighting system, and shadows popping is higher than before, I feel they downgraded both performance and graphics

 

[Explosive Zombie]

Not spread FUD. The game runs every bit as good on PS5 as Series S/X.

That's not true. XBOX BC versions have visual improvements missing from the PS5 BC version and the PS5 BC version while targeting 60 fps often doesn't quite hit it. These are not like for like. The real story will come when we see next-gen patches but pretending they're the same is so misleading.

 

[diffusionx]

This cannot be true! I've seen a noticeable improvement in performance after adjusting it. wtf?

Everyone knows CSV files are intricately linked to system performance and Excel is the most powerful software in the universe for that reason.

 

[Captain Toad]

I've seen the breakdowns. The PS5 version slightly beats the Series X version in certain aspects, and vice-versa. They are both extremely close either way.

Calling the Series versions good and lumping the PS5 with the Xbox One and PS4 versions is just straight-up console warriors BS and is purposefully spreading false information.

 

[GymWolf]

What about adding another difficulty level or at least fixing the enemy ia during stealth?

I'm not talking about the AMD fix, I'm talking about memory_pool_budgets.csv "hack", that did nothing. And now developers confirmed that it wasn't even red by the game. Which makes sense, deleting it didn't have any impact on the game.
BTW I'm also a software dev.

I didn't do that, simply said there are clear distinctions between the versions to be made. I'm a big framerate guy but for some people they prefer a stable framerate with more visual bells and whistles versus a higher framerate that's less stable and has less visuals to oogle.

 

[diffusionx]

Yea that stuff isn't coming for a long time man, just look at this patch, it is all bug fixes for basic functionality, not improvements.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Btw unless the whole "Sony removed the game from PSN" changed the schedule because they are now more in a hurry to get the game back on PSN or they'll lose major sales, the next big patch should be released in mid January, so that's if for this year.

Apparently there is a Gamespot memo floating around indicating a major patch will drop December 21st.

 

[Tesseract]

pc patch still ain't out?

 

[Arun1910]

You replied to my comment about the amd fix. No worries then.

Didn't know about that, thanks.
Could you post it here?

 

[FranXico]

So many broken quests

To their credit, they do put effort into fixing broken quests, unlike Bethesda.

 

[asustitan]

One thing is for sure, releasing early is the best QA test available.

That is why we have betas, but unfortunately betas are not popular with single player games because of leaks.

 

[EverydayBeast]

All games struggle at launch that’s why they pull patched out of the fire, cyberpunk just winded up being the poster child for this narrative of broken launch games, they have the current gen consoles all they could handle while next gen and PC versions are together but the media relies on negativity for views.

 

[thuGG_pl]

Ahh, you're right I misunderstood. I'm sorry.

surely, if true, they'd have communicated this? they said we'd get an update in January and February.

if they do put one out then great but i'll believe it when CDPR announce it or i can download it.

Does anyone know the release time for PC Patch?

"Soon"

 

[Dusktildawn48]

So did this come out for pc yet?

no. probably monday.

 

[Neil Young]

Fix away!! I'm in that weird spot where I'm REALLY enjoying the game on the One X, think it looks great, and haven't experienced any crashes. There are glitches for sure (shot a guy with a shot gun and the fucker got stuck in a wall...shit like that) and some of the textures are ass, BUT, I had sex with a prostitute for 100 bucks. I've played 20 hours and checked off like 3 things on the map. This game is huge.

 

[Captain Toad]

You're right, I'm sorry if that sounded directed to you. It was meant to be directed at liminalcadet and anyone else spreading false information in the hopes of making one console appear inferior to the other. The guy went as far to imply the game is great on Series X AND S, yet basically unplayable on PS5.

But, you are right in that there are subtle differences in how the game runs even between Series X and PS5. It is just debatable which is better. And either way the differences between how it runs via BC on those machines are small.

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

Keep the patches coming and I'll pick it up eventually. After experiencing Witcher 1 at launch, I always waited for a few major patches before jumping into W2 and W3.

It’s crashing a ton on PS5 from my friends’ experience and posts here and elsewhere. I haven’t had a single crash in 30+ hours on XSX, though I have had to restart/reload saves manual four times when things glitched out.

I’m also playing in the quality mode as the game looks rough on performance to me and I care more about resolution and graphics in a slower-paced game like this where I’m spending a lot of time taking in the sights, especially when the 60FPS mode isn’t a stable 60 currently anyway. Indeed, I opted to buy the game on my XSX instead of my PS5 primarily for that mode. Ended up a good decision since I’m not having crashes like my friends playing on PS5 are constantly complaining about.

 

[Kagero]

I’m was terrified they would patch that alien painting exploit. I guess they have a laundry list of more serious issues

 

[The Infectious Paradox]

So 2077 actually meant the number of bugs it shipped with. Who'da thunk it?

 

[Mozzarella]

It seems a lot of people are requesting a "walking button" LOL
I want new clothes, the current clothes range from okay to awful I want something cool to wear.
also i want quick fixes to traffic A.I.

Not having major issues but i understand the big issues are priority right now so make game playable for those people then we can hopefully get patches that i want.

 

[Epic Sax CEO]

• Removed the memory_pool_budgets.csv file. which was not connected with the final version of the game and had no influence on it (it was a leftover file used during the development to estimate memory usage. It had no effect on how much memory was actually allocated). Perceived performance increase after editing the file may have been related to restarting the game.

Just noticed this

LOL

They admit that there's a memory leak in the game that they still can't fix.
Also, it appears that the save will corrupt if it grows past 8mb?

 

[alucard0712_rus]

I don't get it. Ether you have a half-year delay or this. Gaf cried about delays so we got this.

 

[hemo memo]

Wow this game has really evolved into two factions - ones who absolutely hate it and ones who absolutely love it. Really weird.

Personally I’m sure the devs worked really hard on this. Out of their control that Mgmt pulled a dick move. I want the game to succeed as I think there’s something great underneath the lack of polish. Here’s hoping for more updates.

You weren’t here when FF13 released I see.

 

[Cherrypepsi]

• Fixed T-posing NPCs in Suspected Organized Crime Activity: Just Say No and Gig: Hot Merchandise.

OH NO!

I actually made up my own story of this. Like a neuro cyberware malfunction reboot.

 

[Represent.]

holy christ
the game was truly in Beta mode, THAT many fixes?

Now please just get the next gen version out. Take a break for the Holidays and release that shit asap in 2021

 

[Karunamon]

Removed debug console to prevent functions that could lead to crashes or blocked quests.

This is dumb. Anyone who farks with the console knows that if it breaks, you get to keep both pieces.
