Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 1.1 Launches as First Major Post-Launch Update

CD Projekt Red just dropped the first major update for Cyberpunk 2077 following its widely criticized launch. As detailed at the official website, Cyberpunk 2077 patch 1.1 packs in a variety of bug and crash fixes for players on Google Stadia, PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, hopefully aiding those experiencing frequent stability issues. The highlights include crash fixes for loading saves, opening and closing the game, and Point of No Return. It also provides assorted fixes related to visuals, UI, achievements, and the open world in general, as well as specific issues on each platform.

The Cyberpunk 2077 Twitter account also added that this update “lays the groundwork for the upcoming patches.”

You can see the entire list of changes coming to Cyberpunk 2077 in patch 1.1 below:

Stability

Various stability improvements including:

• Memory usage improvements in various systems within the game: characters, interactions, navigation, in-game videos (news, tv, etc.), foliage, laser effects, minimap, devices, AI, street traffic, environmental damage system, GPU-related, and more.
• Various crash fixes (related to, among others, loading saves, game opening/closing and Point of No Return).

Quests/Open World

• Fixed an issue where calls from Delamain would end immediately and seem like they cannot be picked up in Epistrophy.
• Fixed an issue where players would not receive calls from Delamain when approaching relevant vehicles in Epistrophy.

Achievements

• Fixed an issue where completing one of theassaults in progress in Santo Domingo would sometimes not contribute towards progression for The Jungle achievement, preventing its completion.

Miscellaneous

• Addressed the issue responsible for saves getting oversized (related to the modifier indicating if the item is crafted), and trimmed the excess size from already existing saves (note: this won’t fix PC save files corrupted before 1.06 update).
• Fixed an issue where input could stop registering upon opening the weapon wheel and performing an action.
• Fixed an issue where the “Continue” button in the Main Menu could load an end game save.

PlayStation-specific

PC-specific

• It will now be possible to obtain achievements while in Steam offline mode. Note: Offline mode needs to be enabled before starting the game. This change does not work retroactively.
• Addressed the game startup crashes related to loading cache on NVIDIA graphics cards.

Stadia-specific

• Concert audio should no longer be inaudible in Never Fade Away.
• Fixed corrupted textures on several melee weapons.
• Tweaked default deadzone settings to be more responsive. Note: the change will not affect settings unless they’re set to default.

Prior to patch 1.1, CD Projekt Red had issued a few hot fixes, and the company laid out additional Cyberpunk 2077 post-launch plans earlier this month. Despite the studio’s efforts to repair the game’s state after its launch and marketing drew mass criticism, some companies have already started to offer refunds to consumers upset with their purchase. Sony, for example, went as far as to pull Cyberpunk 2077 from the PlayStation Network Store entirely.
