[News]List of Cyberpunk 2077 known bugs and launch issues

[Derouiche™]

Cyberpunk 2077 looks to be the hottest release of 2020, with this near-future role-playing game (RPG) packing an expansive open world brimming with opportunities. It's the latest title from CD Projekt Red, the studio also known for The Witcher 3, and it promises an immersive metropolis with hours of action, exploration, and narrative. While a lot of reviews have been positive, they also note an immense number of bugs, likely to hamper your time in Night City.

CD Projekt Red has outlined plans to fix outstanding issues through the launch period, including a hefty day-one patch that addresses several problems players may otherwise encounter. But that leaves the game far from perfect, with various hiccups likely to emerge in your playthrough. It's not just you — and with over 30 hours of playtime for our Cyberpunk 2077 review, alongside reviews from other media outlets, we're rounding up the top bugs and issues you may encounter from launch.

Cyberpunk 2077 Day One Patch: Size and changelog:

 

While the company has not provided a list of known issues, there's already a "Day 0 Update" (the same as a day-one update) that aims to alleviate issues. Some of these fixes were previously available in the build for reviewers, although additional tweaks have been made to refine the launch product. That means you'll have a big update waiting on release.

What does that include? CD Projekt Red provided us with a brief overview of what to expect ahead of release. Chiefly, it aims to fix various outstanding bugs from the build that went "gold" back in October, bringing the title closer to the intended vision. These include specific quest fixes, polish for core mechanics, and remedies for visual issues. It also means improved stability and performance tweaks. But many bugs noted here will still remain post-update. Here's a point-by-point breakdown, as outlined by the publisher.

Improved graphics and animations

Improved performance and stability

Improved combat and economy balance

Improved UI

Trophy and achievement fixes

While there was some initial confusion around the day-one update for Cyberpunk 2077, we've received some additional clarification from CD Projekt RED's Fabian Mario Döhla. Those who download the game on consoles will have the update pre-installed, including those with former pre-loads. PC users received an update around 1 AM CET (7 PM ET), which totals around 200MB via GOG, or between 2-3GB via Steam and Epic. And for disc-based boxed copies, you're looking at an update between 60GB to 75GB, dependent on your platform.

 

Cyberpunk 2077 hotfixes: 1.04 and 1.05

CD Projekt Red has released two hotfixes so far: 1.04 and 1.05. Both make a lot of random fixes throughout the game on both consoles and PC, including specific quest fixes, UI tweaks, and more. To highlight just a few big changes: 1.04 sought to handle reports of flashing lights during the braindance sequence causing epileptic seizures, while 1.05 removed the debug console to "prevent functions that could lead to crashes or blocked quests." Both also brought stability fixes and tweaks to performance.
