Waaaaiiight a second ...in fidelity mode it says "enables ray traced reflections and shadows". Are you talking about performance or did CdProject fuck this up and forget to turn on RT reflections?

Keep going, the finale of act 1 isI bought my current rig 15 months ago, more or less for this game. I mean, obviously, I planned to play other stuff on it, but I was most amped for Cyberpunk.
Then the game dropped, the reviews were shit, and I never even bought it.
Until yesterday. I figured, from what I've read, most of the people who've played it on PC enjoyed it, and this patch seems to be a really good foot forward for CDPR, so, fuck it. I'll roll the dice.
So far, I'm really glad I did. This game is pretty fucking impressive. Of course, I'm not going out of my way trying to break shit. I'm going slow and easy, trying to learn the game, and play by its rules, rather than expecting it to play by mine. I just finished the first 'braindance' and subsequent mission brief. Really, really cool shit.
So, yeah, I'm early in, just a few hours, but I'm really enjoying it so far. First impressions are very positive.
I wish people would stay long enough to experience that even if they’re negative, I think CDPR absolutely nailed the story-telling there and for a RPG to go that far is crazy.

This only have RT shadows on consoles so this mode is a waste of 30FPS.

yeah on the mode breakdown chart they put out for release it said fidelity mode uses rt shadows and ssr high. ssr wouldn't be running in conjunction with rt reflections. also in my observations ssr is definitely still active in fidelity mode. if it still says that in the menu I suspect it's because they initially intended on having it on but couldn't get it to work at a stable 30fps.

They STILL didn't fix that bug? It's been there for over a year

This. Shootouts are literally not doable in RT mode and im usually not that sensitive to 30fps.

Eeeeradicator, brilliant. I remember that sketch, it’s the squash guy right?. Can’t remember what the show was though.
Re. the bug, it was a new one on me. Just glad I got rid of the shitty film grain.

That would be some bullshit. Another CD project red lie? Saying it's got rt reflections but not having them ...I dunno man

Well the last major patch was 6 months ago. Others have said that disabling aim acceleration in the advanced options improves the aiming.

Same. I even changed the trigger resistance to weak in the controller setting but pressing the gas and breaks while driving is still way too strong and unrealistic.The dualsense implementation is very heavy on the triggers. Vehicles have a lot of resistance on both accelerate and brake (R2/L2). I turned it off as its putting too much strain on those poor little resistance motors
Haptic feedback also dont feel much diferent than normal rumble in this game.
So finally the free PS5 update option appeared on my PS Store so i decided to give it another try. Well, was not able to import my PS4 save with 90+ gameplay in it, as it says corrupted save file. (Save file works fine if i boot the PS4 version of the game)
But since i already beated the game with a male V now my intention was doing a run with a female V for diferent romance with Judy and a new life path.
Havent seen many bugs, most of bugs involving npcs that annoyed me seem to have been fixed and things are not so distracting now. Game still crashed 1 time during the onrails car chase and shooting. Everething else seem to be working ok so far.
RT mode is a bad joke. Despite stating that it has RT shadows and reflections, only has RT shadows and there seems to have some kinda weird motion blur when u turn the camera around, making the performance mode the only enjoyable option.
The game is now in a decent enough state, that i can recomend it to grab it during a promo, but 1 year after release i was expecting a bit more from the next gen console versions.
It is still full of bugs.
I played maybe 2h yesterday on PS5 and saw bugs literally almost instantly.
bug 1: save game corrupted, had to start ps4 version and save + export again
then there are still hundreds of graphical bugs. Like first people I saw, 2 policemen + 2 people they had stopped = 2 persons were standing on the same spot, inside each other like some god damn mutant and police men were standing on weird places
call motorcycle = they hover 1m from the ground
drive around = car jumps randomly like it hit something, yet it didnt.
rocks hovering on air
tons of small graphical bugs/issues
but it looks much better than ps4 version and I almost finished PS4 version which must have been even buggier, so these are mainly visual bugs.

I never even considered buying this at launch as I only had an X box Series S, but now the game is pretty much peanuts to buy and I have a Series X, this has to be worth a punt now, I take it the visuals are much better now, or to put it another way, do they take advantage of the Series X and PS5 hardware?.

There are some missions that you have to "deliver" dudes alive. But I was mainly talking about the more open world missions. There are PLENTY of non-lethal ways to take people down, but outside of those very specific scripted missions, it's not given much recognition imo. At most youll get a call saying "oh you kept this dude alive? Well ok".

Never gonna happen. They did shit ton of work to make all cutscenes and character interaction feel natural in an unbroken, consistent first person perspective.

Thats why im asking. I dont know how it works and i thought someone could explain.Why would they skip 1.07, 1.08, 1.09? This is not how software versioning works.

There's no distinct answer to that. Everybody does as they want. They could have named it patch 5.999999999999 if they wanted.

This. There are no rules just naming conventions that you can decide to follow... or not. For example: [major].[minor].[release].[build]. Current Chrome version for Windows is: 98.0.4758.102.
For all we know the next Cyberpunk version might be 2.0 if the amount of changes, fixes and additions is substantial enough.

You get more rewards if you do the cyberpsycho hunts without killing them

There are the cyberpsychos as mentioned above where you gain more money if you don't kill them (since regina wants them alive in order to test experimental cyberpsychosis treatment methods).
I remember a side quest i found about a saving the brother of monk from maelstrom and he requests that i don't kill anyone. The conversation that follows plays out differently depending on how you go about it.
I also found out if you take down assassination targets non-lethaly, the fixer will ask you to deliver his unconscious body to the trunk of a car outside. I'm not sure if this gives you more money or not. I also remember some missions that ask you not to kill certain targets.
I think non-lethality is there more for roleplay than anything. Non-lethal gameplay is in general much easier than in other similar games that try to turn it into challenge.
I believe it does makes sense for people not care or react much to killing in-game, its a setting where human life is worth less than a sack of potatoes after all.

The perks have changed. Just read them up, it’s not like the game is hard anyway.

So i guess they basically hit bigger or more defined numbers based on the content of the update? More of like a feel thing?
Like a rework of major things would more than likely just be named 2.0.
Always what i assumed tbh!

I honestly enjoyed the game a lot even on launch, the story and characters alone kept me hooked throughout the whole playthrough, and it's now better than ever with the reworked enemy A.I, more balanced skill trees and less item hoarding, combat is so much more engaging now even if it's piss easy compared to a lot of other shooters out there but that's never been a major focus of the game as far as I'm concerned. Night City is also a Photographer's Paradise, dripping with atmosphere, and the soundtrack is excellent. and it's only gonna keep getting better with more updates and once the expansions start rolling out.

I've waited for this too long. After a couple of hours, I can say that now is the time to enjoy this game. Now it's not broken or anything sort of. What CDPR has done with the design and the world is remarkable.

I still haven’t experienced any bugs of note, which may be lucky, or because of the open nature of the game. I’ve seen one NPC walk through a kerb, but that’s the only thing I’ve noticed, which isn’t really a big deal. I remain satisfied with the update for now, but I understand others experiences could easily be different to my own in such an open game.

Yea i'm not satisfied...Now I cant play the game. Crashes at launch.
Go into your task manager and kill all Nahimic processes that are running.
Ironbunny
Member
Thanks you that fixed it. What are those processes? I had like 5 open there.
SJRB

Nahimic is third party audio software that usually comes pre-installed with MSI laptops or desktops.
I'm not sure why it's crashing 2077 on startup though, I've never seen that before.
A tip: every time you start your pc it will run those Nahimic processes in the background, so you have to kill them every time. At least until CDPR fixes it.

Why not just uninstall it? Sounds like some bloatware.

You can redistrubute your perks just from the characyer menu, but yeah you can't change your build. Gotta think about those carefully before you commit.

Love what I see so far. I’m very excited for a second play through but I think I’ll wait until we have all the DLC as well.
Also some stuff I really don’t give a crap about. I couldn’t care less about being able to eat food. That is not fun or interesting. Same with customizing my apartment. My goal is to spend as little time in my apartment as possible when playing this game.

I bought this on PS4 like last August for 10 bucks at Best Buy, said I'd play it when they did the upgrade. I popped the "Data disc" in my PS5 and got a prompt to download "Free PS5 upgrade". I started that but now I have 2 icons on my home, one with a guy for the PS4 version, and then another with a chick for the PS5 version. Can I just delete the PS4 one now and play off the "Game Disc" I got in the case?

Im on series x, as the poll mentions, its a great first step. It looks sharp and sticks to its 60 fps target 90 percent of the time. I do notice the dynamic res getting pretty low occasionally, but nothing so bad that it ruins the experience, like the 900 p performance mode that used to be there. It looks sharp most of the time. The city is still a fun play ground, and they made some great qol choices here. I was their harshest critic, but i can say that this is a great first step.

I couldn't agree more. This game really goes there, and I love the game for it. It's so very well done. Many haven't gotten past the first act, which is nuts to me.

The raytraced shadows are definetly noticeable.
Raytraced lighting would have been a mayor jump in graphics fidelity though

Loosing my trophy progress has been a huge killjoy honestly.
I was milking my original playthru by completing each zone in the map for the trophy before moving on the narrative. I want to say that was probably a good 60 hours of progress. It feels like it’s been wiped.
I don’t know if I can tolerate starting a new game. I hope there’s a fix for this planned and announced shortly… because honestly I play plenty of other games that solve this issue by double popping the trophies. Why CDPR is having a hard time is beyond me but it’s also kinda unacceptable.

Yeah, I’m not even exaggerating when I knew it was my GOTY when finishing act 1, it blew me away. I’m still amazed by the craftmanship in all conversations and cool setpieces. I think people need to step back and realize what genre this is when they’re trying to pick it apart because of some jank, it’s not like some minor or even major jank is uncommon in RPGs.
