That's one big fucking list of changes. The only thing missing now is the release date
Those patch notes are getting me hyped again. Can't wait to dive back in. Wednesday or Friday though?
Gonna need a much larger patch note than this....
No it's literally just 3 changes to the game coming in the new patch
there are fixes in this patch that address NPC AI. you'd be forgiven for skimming over it as it's a lengthy patch note but there are various listings that affect behaviour.Fuck thats a big patch. I hope it will adequately improve the quality of the experience.
However, I am unsure if I want to replay the game already. I managed to finish it despite some bugs and multiple crashes. Enjoyed it a lot (actually, more than any other game), but many issues will be annoying in the second run.
I still hope for some improvements to the game itself.
For example, with the police this patch is just a half measure to make it less visible that they have no AI system in place really. And I don't care that much about the Police AI. but AI for pedestrians should be reworked because it breaks the immersion. AI of the enemies should be worked on as well. And that's what I would like to see in my 2nd playthrough. I think we can forget about (re?) introducing more meaningful choices, instead of illusion of choice. That's the biggest issue IMO, but it is what it is.
And I'm not saying this to diminish their efforts, because this is massive. So thumbs up, just I'm not sure it is what we've been waiting for (on PC). AMD RT is nice though. I expected it take longer.
Biggest thing will be console performance probably.

You know you dun fucked up development when the list of your fixes reads like a short novel.

Not true. Many games, specially of this kind, have such long lists. If it got fixed it does not mean you are going to encounter that specific bug, as also stated at the beginning of the changelog.You know you dun fucked up development when the list of your fixes reads like a short novel.
the Hex edit for AMD cpu's still needs to be applied, boys. Just sayin'.
I have legit not seen a fix list this long for any game.Not true. Many games, specially of this kind, have such long lists. If it got fixed it does not mean you are going to encounter that specific bug, as also stated at the beginning of the changelog.
Try Divinity 2 for instance. In any case, they prefered releasing one big patch rather than smaller ones which fix less stuff. But anyways... Do we also have to complain about what's been fixed? Really?I have legit not seen a fix list this long for any game.
Try using the resizable bar function, it made my framerate much smoother and reaction times to mouse input improved greatly. I was honestly surprised.I just started playing and it just doesn't feel smooth to me, the frame rate fluctuates constantly. I'm using an RTX 3080 with a 10700KF @ 5GHz which has firmly shit on every game I've tried. Looking at the benchmarks it doesn't matter what hardware you have, you're looking at about 75-80FPS average, which doesn't feel great on a high refresh rate display.
Same here. But I’m in the camp that thought it was GOTY worthy even before this patch on PC. Already played a couple of hours with the new patch, game is awesomeI have legit not seen a fix list this long for any game.

Didnt CDPR debunked the "hex editor fix"? I know i saw somewhere a reply from them in which they say they "so called fix" doesnt have any impact in the performance.
Did you have to flash a new BIOS on your motherboard too?Cool, just updated the firmware on my 3080 and turned it on the BIOS, hopefully it makes a difference.
EDIT: It definitely made a difference, the game feels smoother for sure.

It doesn't really matter, they all converge at certain points. Just go with your flow.Just to be sure. At the beginning of Act 2, does it matter which of the three main quests you start to pursue? Or is there some order which is “correct”?
Safe to say that's never going to happen. CDPR changed their Twitter bio from RPG to action-adventure for a reason.Man, I just want more roleplay/depth to the world/gameplay to jump back in.
I would give it a few more hours. It didn't click with me until I was about 8 or so hours in but after that I was cranking out 4-5 hour sessions consistently for a couple weeksThis game is boring me to death. About 4 hours in and most of it has been talking, driving around and taking elevators.
The characters and dialogue are so bland, hard to believe this is made by the same people who gave us The Witcher.
I know RPGs usually take a while to get good but my god this is off to an awful start. Hopefully I'm just talking too soon.
Good to hear. Thanks man, I'll stick with it.I would give it a few more hours. It didn't click with me until I was about 8 or so hours in but after that I was cranking out 4-5 hour sessions consistently for a couple weeks
I'll definitely get an RTX PC for this after I finish it on PS4 Pro, I'm also really enjoying the game: the gameplay is aces. I played 70 hours of guns blazing and it's another game with stealth...yeah, but reddit already countered that somewhere, don’t have the exact link at the moment.
so today I literally spent the whole fucking day playing after I quit cause I wanted to wait for the 1.2 patch. Performance seems better. Atmosphere is still through the roof. Graphically the most beautiful game I’ve ever witnessed and the quests/story/world are MILES above other games. Current status of this game: in my top 3 favorite games of all time. Disclaimer: playing at 4K RTX on high end PC.
A pulse?It definitely doesn't feel like a living world. I can't put my finger on it, but it's missing something.

Suspension of disbelief is a two way street, expecting the game to do all the heavy lifting will get you nowhere.A pulse?
Other than glitches and bugs, there are no random events or any personality or routine attached to any NPC.
It has to be one of the most lifeless and disappointing open worlds in recent history.

This game was never an RPG, you were always V the street kid [life paths are a catastrophic waste of time and resources]. All we can hope for now is some quality of life improvements, but I'm not expecting anything earth shattering.

That is an interesting perspective although not one I subscribe to particularly when the game offers almost nothing in this regard.Suspension of disbelief is a two way street, expecting the game to do all the heavy lifting will get you nowhere.
I prefer quality over quantity. I’m not against hordes of mindless drivers filling the streets, but an alive city that does not make.The amount of NPC's sure makes up the absence of AI for me. This is on PC with Crowd density at High though. City Centre is crowded as fuck. Very on par with the crowds from the 48 min demo, if not more.
It baffles me there still isn’t a mod that lets it rain more often.
