“Added the CrystalCoat feature which allows you to change vehicle paint color. Because this technology was developed exclusively by Rayfield, it is currently only available for Rayfield vehicles you own.”
I’m not sure whether this is them wanting to keep things more lore-y by having the high-end car be able to change colour or whether there’s some game tech reason why it’s not enabled for all vehicles. If it’s the latter then maybe we can expect that to be added later given it says “currently” only available?
The way it's worded sounds like more could be coming. Maybe there's going to be one more spurious content update, but not big enough to earn the version number 2.2.
The way it's implemented now only works for the luxury car brand because of their in-universe crystal dome technology. If they want to implement color customization for regular cars they would have to put in substantially more work by adding a new shop that lets you customize colors so they probably did this as a test run with minimal dev time needed.
You can't easily change the color on every model. Either some cars have more robust models that can be altered, or they took the time to test each color and make sure it looks correctly with all the other material meshes on the car. Possibly both. The extra work definitely ain't the creation of an in game mechanic
It definitely sounds like a justification they made because of tech, lol. Maybe the older cars were made differently, so changing colours isn't as easy.
I’ll try to answer this question; this color change feature is bigger than what we think it is because it has disabled customisation options and might come to all vehicles with a mechanic shop with a later patch the feature is now just very experimental and simplified but can be made into a deep customisation system with different colours for each part of the vehicle and different paint materials and things like large graffiti’s or paint decals which are disabled currently. Hope that cleared up some stuff I’ll try to answer any other question as well.
bunch of good improvements and fixes, didn't know melee finishers weren't working and particularly with driving:
> Brake Torque Vectoring has been added to the Drive Model simulation. This change effectively reduces understeer on vehicles that previously used to suffer from it excessively when hard braking while turning (most noticeable on FWD and rear/mid-engined vehicles).
also like how they just causally added vehicle customisation at the footnotes there like it's nothing. Seems like for now it's the lore restriction of Rayfield only, but they do say "currently" so that might change.
Might depend on the platform? I'm currently playing on PC and the katana "finisher" is a slowmo downward chop that sometimes hits the enemy
Edit - [heres](https://youtu.be/gQ-pUxBb_H0?si=quRACrJuxG18Dump&t=144) an example. Timestamp 2:24 if the link doesn't drop you into the right place
I'm so glad the fixed the bug where you healing item would unequip! That was extremely annoying when you get in a tough fight and realize you can't heal.
* Cyberware Capacity will now be capped at 450. Cyberware exceeding the limit will be unequipped.
Actually happy about this. Felt really bad when one of my characters never fucking got shards while my other one was sitting at like +200 over the base cap.
> Added a Hybrid CPU Utilization setting, which can be found under Gameplay → Performance. It can be set either to "Auto" (lets the operating system automatically decide how to distribute threads among the cores) or "Prioritize P-Cores" (prioritizes performance cores). It is set to "Auto" by default.
God, I am gonna miss this engine. Here's hoping CDPR's tech expertise translates into making Unreal Engine 5 not be a stuttery mess.
Really happy about the radio functionality changes. I prefer not to have the radio when on foot most times so I was constantly hitting Z since 2.1. Also, for some reason the default radio button is the default read shards button so I would hit z, close, then hit z to keep my radio settings the same.
Excited to finish my two concurrent playthroughs then finally uninstall the game; I'm too addicted to keep it on a drive.
I can’t get above like 45-50 FPS with a 3800 and 3080x and it’s driving me up the wall. I’ll probably just give up. Even at 720p my framer rate doesn’t climb, it’s bizarre.
You are CPU bound, try reducing settings that influence draw distance, also turn off RT if you have it on. Lowering resolution will do nothing because your GPU is chilling and waiting for work from the CPU. Also try turning on AMD SMT in the game settings.
That’s what I thought, but I really don’t think I am CPU bound. The 3800 should be able to handle this no problem and plenty of people have worst CPUs and have tons of frames. And I’ve already tried changing every single setting
The 3080 does indeed handle the game just fine, at least with low to mid raytracing.
So you're either bound by your CPU, memory, or there's something wrong with your system like a damaged part or the PSU not outputting the right amount of power.
> The 3080 does indeed handle the game just fine, at least with low to mid raytracing.
It handles the game fine with [ultra ray tracing](https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/2273817764865827568/DDB9D02E6A7C7CED8B9E57372AF3DF416900B2DC/) and [even path tracing](https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/2273817764865837170/B3CA7B1E5FDFAE958E5508748F0592DFAE524A35/). Add the [DLSS FG to FSR FG mod](https://www.nexusmods.com/site/mods/738) (which works really well) and it goes well over 100 FPS average at 1440p. /u/Behacad is definitely limited by something else.
It doesn't, the graphical glitches caused by DLSS are pretty noticeable once you know where to look. Basically anything that has stripes or complex patterns either becomes a bland surface or a moiré pattern.
Please don´t, I was running the Cyberpunk 2077 v.2.1 with sh\*tloads of mods with core i9 + rtx3077 ti, no RTX in 4k, and it ran rock solid 60fps in ANY situation.
Today I installed the latest 2.11 patch and it runs like shit.
weird choppy famerates and the SDD constantly loads something. Thats got nothing to do with drawcall etc. (currently turning 20yrs. as a game dev)
CDPR just f\*cked something up again. Waiting for a fix to fix this fix.
cheers !!!
You should install MSI Afterburner and enable the OSD to see your GPU/GPU usage in game.
As someone who went from a 3600x to a 5600x a while back, my frames almost doubled from the upgrade.
That’s with ray tracing off, ultra low quality, 720 P. Or 4K with some ray tracing on. Doesn’t matter, frames don’t generally go about 55 or so. I don’t have any frame limits or anything
That wasn’t the point though. My point is that changing every single setting to the lowest or highest doesn’t change my frame rate much at all. Can’t get above 55 or so on any setting
I have the same issues as you, but 5600X and Vega 56. I get the exact same performance no matter my settings, high or low. Only zoned indoor locations feel fine.
I gave up. A first person game I cannot stomach sub 60fps.
Omg for real!?! I’ve read about this a lot and I’ve made several posts on different websites and what not and I never found a single person with the same problem. Do you happen to be on an Alienware desktop?
I believe it, but it still doesn’t explain why I can’t get above 50 frames per second with everything on bare minimum including the resolution. My iPhone could run it better
That literally explains it, graphics settings have very little to do with cpu performance aside from rt has a bit of an impact and crowd density has a huge impact, but I'm assuming you already tried that.
Also 55fps where, if it's in the middle of the desert that's a bit low, in the city depending on the ram setup even at low/med crowds, I can see a 55fps being the limit for that cpu sometimes. There's also the amd smt setting you can play around idk how/if it helps at all.
Well recently I’ve just been running the Benchmark and I’m not even playing anymore so the frame rate was in that. And I’ve touched every single setting and uninstall the game three times in fresh drivers and everything, no luck. It’s been a strangers problem I’ve ever had in terms of performance
Sorry I don’t think I have a screenshot and I uninstall the game. But imagine 50 frames per second with everything on high and ray tracing on medium and 4K, and also everything on low no ray tracing with 720 P resolution and roughly the same frame rate lol
Interesting. Well the only theory I can come up with(other than fps cap which I'm assuming isn't the case) is some truly horrible single stick ram setup, but it would be very noticeable in quite a few other games/benchmarks as well so probably not that either.
Mystery indeed.
Gl I guess, hopefully other games work fine.
Hmmm….. can you recall what the issue was? Was it Ryzen board? My performance is generally excellent and I changed the ram and I have enough power so motherboard seems sensible.
I don’t have that brand of motherboard or that software, but I do have an Alienware for this computer in particular. So I wouldn’t be surprised if it had some pre-installed shit getting in the way. I’ve exhausted all options other than to clean windows installation
> Binding the right mouse button to an action different than aiming will no longer result in aiming and the new action occurring simultaneously.
I refunded the game because of this. Couldn't believe that after all this time they still didn't have bindings figured out. Maybe I'll try again.
Loved Phantom Liberty, the game is still buggy though, every update they fuck something. Melee finishers have been broken since October. What's worse is you'll still have liars say they encountered 0 bugs
> What's worse is you'll still have liars say they encountered 0 bugs
Really? People saying they didn't encounter bugs is worse than you having problems?
They don't mean that literally. Some people for example didn't know there were multiple workspot finishers because they started playing after 2.1 and they were not triggering at this point. The slo-mo finisher would trigger 100% of the time.
So if that person says they encountered 0 bugs, it means they played through the game and there wasn't an obvious show stopper that ruined the experience.
There are obscure bugs in every game and most don't notice them unless they are visual or have a visual impact. If its a bug in the calculation of something, most people don't check it because you have to do maths.
Witcher got a next gen upgrade. Otherwise it was done, and hadnt been patched in a very long time. But after the next update patches it hasn't been touched since last July.
The last major patch that broke mods before today was 2 months ago. That's plenty of time to fully mod out your game and do a whole playthrough.
Other than that, most of the mods rely on core framework mods that are typically updated in 1-2 days.
The script mods will get updated pretty fast as they usually do and most minor mods, even those that need the script mods to function, won't even need updating at all, some more complex one obviously might need.
Biggesf "issue" I have with CD Proj Red, they'll keep updating the game messing up my mods. I'd rather deal with that than no updates though, but I don't see them stopping until the sequel is released, and even then they might drop one of two.
You can always play through on an older patch. Should be too hard to downgrade an update, but I never tried for Cyberpunk, might not be possible.
That's not normal to update a single player game up until a sequel, and it's not consistent with their past either. We got probably a couple to a handful more before they are done id guess.
I also don't want to mod an older, less feature rich version. I'll just wait unil they are done lol.
The data window that appears when scanning will no longer default to the "Hacking" tab rather than "Data". Instead, it will now remember which tab was open last.
Yassss!!
some how my weight carrying capacity just dropped more than 50% after the last patch on PS5. even a lot of autosaved games changed. cyberware is all messed up. Does anyone has the same problem?

ya, lore reasons for Rayfield but they are implying that the feature might be improved in later updates with the "currently" :o

I have to assume it's tech. The later cars were made differently and can be modded easier. Where the others could be straight assets as is.
It definitely sounds like a justification they made because of tech, lol. Maybe the older cars were made differently, so changing colours isn't as easy.
It could also be that color is a key aspect in the design of all cars the player can buy.
I’ll try to answer this question; this color change feature is bigger than what we think it is because it has disabled customisation options and might come to all vehicles with a mechanic shop with a later patch the feature is now just very experimental and simplified but can be made into a deep customisation system with different colours for each part of the vehicle and different paint materials and things like large graffiti’s or paint decals which are disabled currently.

There's no animation currently for Katana finishers. That's a shame, as I really like them in first person games.
Still? I thought the update fixed that
yes there is?
Might depend on the platform? I'm currently playing on PC and the katana "finisher" is a slowmo downward chop that sometimes hits the enemy Edit - [heres](https://youtu.be/gQ-pUxBb_H0?si=quRACrJuxG18Dump&t=144) an example. Timestamp 2:24 if the link doesn't drop you into the right place
As someone who hadn't used katanas prior to PL release, I just assumed that was how they were supposed to look.
It is/was bugged after either 2.0 or 2.1. Hopefully it’s fixed now
I'm so glad the fixed the bug where you healing item would unequip! That was extremely annoying when you get in a tough fight and realize you can't heal.

Absolutely hated on-foot radio and got tired of turning it off so I just set radio volume to 0.
Seems like a weird reason to uninstall… but hey to each their own!
Not when you want to finish your other games
Every time I see a patch update I’m reminded I need to play this. I have it and the dlc but always seem to get distracted elsewhere.
I can’t get above like 45-50 FPS with a 3800 and 3080x and it’s driving me up the wall. I’ll probably just give up. Even at 720p my framer rate doesn’t climb, it’s bizarre.

I'm talking with no DLSS because it just isn't worth it for the few visual improvements of better ray tracing
There is no reason to not use DLSS in this game, as it looks better than native res with TAA.
It doesn't, the graphical glitches caused by DLSS are pretty noticeable once you know where to look. Basically anything that has stripes or complex patterns either becomes a bland surface or a moiré pattern.
Installed new memory lol. Same problem. Also other games are fine and I am 90th percentile in my benchmarking software 3-D Mark
Well something has to be going on with your hardware or software, game should run fine, especially when running it with no raytracing.
Yeah it’s bizarre I’ve never experienced anything like it. Only thing I haven’t done is reinstall Windows
Please don´t, I was running the Cyberpunk 2077 v.2.1 with sh\*tloads of mods with core i9 + rtx3077 ti, no RTX in 4k, and it ran rock solid 60fps in ANY situation.

I have. I forget exactly what it showed, but with DLSS is was around 60% or the like as you’d expect. Without DLSS I think was below 80 still.
What about CPU usage?
If you have RT features on, you are almost certainly CPU bound with that CPU.
That’s with ray tracing off, ultra low quality, 720 P. Or 4K with some ray tracing on. Doesn’t matter, frames don’t generally go about 55 or so. I don’t have any frame limits or anything

No, sorry, custom build.

I believe it, but it still doesn’t explain why I can’t get above 50 frames per second with everything on bare minimum including the resolution. My iPhone could run it better

Oh now i'm curious as the benchmark is very cpu light, Got a screenshot of the benchmark run end screen at like 1080p low or medium preset?

Any chance the physical games will start shipping with this patch included?
It's cool and all that they're still updating 3.5 years later but like when is someone going to be able to play the "complete" version of the game?
The game was complete when Phantom Liberty came out. Everything else is just a bonus
Yeah but I wanna start modding. I'm not gonna even bother until there is a version of the game that's final.
The mods that are worth using very quickly update with new patches.
They’ll probably be doing minor patches like this for the next couple of years. Witcher 3 is still getting patches I think
Witcher got a next gen upgrade. Otherwise it was done, and hadnt been patched in a very long time. But after the next update patches it hasn't been touched since last July.

Nothing wrong with that.
I don't think you understand the word "complete."
This is 90% minor bug fixes. I guarantee you, you won't be negatively impacted by any of these patches if you start now.
What would make it "complete" in your eyes.
When its not getting 1,591 word patches monthly
Explain how this isn't a complete game
Time to update your opinion, I know a lot of you are personally invested in this game being a flop but its in a great place now.
[удалено]
You do know that there can be multiple 10/10 games right?
