Support NeoGAF

[SJRB]

You know shit is fucked when even patch notes talk about "major quest issues".

Still nothing on PC though.

 

[cebri.one]

Yeah it runs at 5ghz. But it's delid and always stays under 75C. Even survives Prime95 without any issues.

It would be strange if CPU was the reason here, because it crashed in the big hotel in small confined spaces, while running the big city without any crashes.

Also, I can't explain the game crashing while starting, directly after launching it.

Wouldn't hurt downclocking it to 4.9Ghz to see if makes any difference. It's weird because I was crashing to desktop, I didn't get any blue screen or anything but it completely fixed it. I had the 6600k clocked at 4.5 and reducing it back to 4.4 meant not a single crash since. Maybe it was that part of the game.

RTX 3080, 8700k, SSD, 32gb 3600mhz RAM. Drivers are always up to date.

Much better setup than mine. I'm on a i7-9700F/ RTX 2060 Super.

I do recommend down-clocking it slightly. It seems silly, I know, but it has been documented to help greatly with stability.

It looks like the focused on quests, which is good but the rest obviously is pretty minor with the exception of the Ryzen fix.

Dude, WTF happened to that guy. He is a fucking legend in DayZ and he vanished one day.

 

[El_Cinefilo]

I wonder if they've slyly fixed the money exploit too.

Lol at explosions not making a sound if they're off screen. I hadn't noticed that.

 

[Night.Ninja]

Dude, WTF happened to that guy. He is a fucking legend in DayZ and he vanished one day.

I think he went to become a lawyer or something along those lines he was meant to be coming back pretty soon doing Day z videos and that but haven't heard anything since, saw that clip on reddit had a mini heart attack

just turned on my PS5 to see it downloading a new 17GB update. very exciting!

 

[New Yorks Finest]

Just finished Downloading took about 3min..servers not badly hammered, yet.

S|X 15.9GB

 

[Hoppa]

Played about 15mins of the new patch and I've had more bugs in these 15minutes than the entirety of the game I've played so far.. invisible cops, random weather changes and cars randomly darting out at every intersection that I drive through. PS5

Complete opposite for me

Every patch has made everything feel smoother and perform better.

Unless it’s just dat Stockholm

 

[BEATORICHEEEEEE]

So the patch is not fixing any of the sound problems? I thought it was a widely reported issue.

My game is missing sound effects everytime and it fucking ruins immersion, was hoping this patch would fix that, I have to reload my save all the time because i'm always randomly missing sound effects such as footsteps and stuff like that

OK, I hope I didn't miss anything. I'm at:

Yeah must just be this first Sinnerman side mission, I died and restarted and the same bugs happened again at the same points so will probably be picked up in a later patch

I’ve got two gigs in City Center I did really early on that never completed for me (unless they finish up later on). Newest update definitely didn’t fix em if they’re busted

I knew people editing this and saying their game got a lot better was a load of shit.

 

[HotPocket69]

Have had this stuck in my head all day




Also, it feels good to sprint everywhere without losing stamina

Assuming it’s a play on this banger like all the other callbacks

 

[CrustyBritches]

Doing a fresh installation via Steam, so we'll see what happens. I've been intermittently testing crowd AI by shooting at them and chasing them with my bike. Hopefully the duck-and-cover even when you are 50ft away ends. That's what people do in a bank robbery. Outside they'd be stampeding like a motherfucker.

 

[#Phonepunk#]

seems like it is running a bit smoother on PS5. more crowds too? nice to have my car third person viewing angle memorized at last =)

 

[Royal-Slime]

I've been playing it a bit more on PC and good grief... even switching to 720p does not change anything. It feels like the game has some serious issues in its code: everything is janky, character models (Johny, especially) just don't look good, random FPS drops (mostly related to travelling the city).

I'm trying to look past that but the actual game is not impressive at all. It's like Witcher 2 minus the choices. The only massive achievement so far is the way everything looks in the first-person mode. The cutscenes are impressive, there's just not many of them and the lack of choice completely kills any tension or involvement, so does V as a character and voice. And they're always accompanied by the slow walking sections, by some kind of 30+ minute narrative I don't really care about. I don't like using the word "cheesy" to describe something but I can't think of any better word to describe this game. It's not so bad when you just explore and do side-quests but once the story starts... And those "rewind the video" sections, good grief!..

Also am I the only one who is not happy with Keanu's performance? I had to double-check that Johny guy is voiced by him. Did he really boost the sales of the game or did CDPR waste so much money on an actor who can't voice-act? Uh...

Pretty dissappointed with the actual game. I respect CDPR for trying to do something different and they totally don't deserve the negativity... I can't imagine Activision, Ubisoft, EA saying "we'll refund the game out of our pockets" or "we'll fix it and will be providing updates all the time". It just won't happen and people act entitled when it was pretty obvious that's how the game will turn out.

Anyway, Cyberpunk is pretty underwhelming to me. Superficial and hollow is the best way to describe it CDProjectRed wasted too many resources on cutscenes and all the cinematic stuff, big city and forgot how to make an actually fun game. As it stands, CDPR is a mediocre movie in which you can take a break and play Borderlands-lite after the dialogue. And Keanu in this game proudly takes the spot of one of the worst performances in a video game by Hollywood stars, right next to Matthew Perry and his Fallout New Vegas role and Peter Dinklage with his Destiny Ghost.

Maybe I just can't get immersed in these games anymore, I don't know...

 

[Bydimension]

First 30 minutes impression on base PS4 with the lastest patch installed.

The game runs SO MUCH better now. Played all the area in your mega building, outside of it, and went to one of the most choppy areas (the part of the video in Digital Foundry where it went below 15 fps during combat); it runs noticeably better overall. I would say all the mega building part is almost steady 30 FPS, when previously it wasn't. The game runs much better while driving too, there are still dips in framerate, but dude, this feels way more playable now. Also, the film grain and Chromatic Aberration seems better implemented now, it doesn't seem to blurry the IQ as before; now to the cons...


It seems to me that the IQ might have taken a hit, the game seems to be running 100% at 720P now. There are still stuttering problems here and there sometimes. The game still maintains the poor visuals in term of LOD, low textures, popping, etc but this time with lower resolution as mentioned.

 

[MastAndo]

This song hits just right cruising around on a motorcycle at night;



...and also for sentimental reasons. See ya in the big leagues.

 

[Woggleman]

My friend is playing on Stadia and is loving it. He said it is like night and day compared to consoles. I wish the covid thing wasn't happening so I could go over and check for myself.

 

[Tchu-Espresso]

Shame the changes they made to HDR do nothing for black levels. Why can’t the game just look like the calibration images they use?

Otherwise, the game is definitely less blurry with chromatic aberration on. PS5.

 

[K' Dash]

I was about to finally sit down and play a couple hours and they hit me with a 15GB patch?

Internet at my new apartment sucks, this could take a couple hours

 

[SullaFelix]

30hrs in. Anyone who is rushing through this is really doing themselves a disservice.

 

[Woggleman]

Playing on the One X and must say framerate is a big improvement. They still have a lot of work to do but it is a good step.

You are the only PC player in this thread saying the game looks bad. What's your setup? Genuine question, no flame baiting here. We might help you out with some tinkering if need be.

I have tested the game on:

(my test bench)

AMD Ryzen 5 3600
16GB DDR4
GTX 1070

Intel I7 9700F
16GB DDR4
RTX 2060 Super

AMD Ryzen 3 3200G
8GB DDR4
AMD RX 580

And on a laptop with a Ryzen 5 4600H and a RX 5600. All ran extremely well. I even got the game to run on linux through a custom flavor of Proton. Granted, it was buggy as hell but very playable.

Thanks. It's alright, don't worry. I probably won't be playing it anymore anyway, trying to refund. I don't like the topics of the game that much but thought it'd be okay since I like other CDPR games and "looter-shooter" type of gameplay can be fun. Plus I do like cinematography.


And I didn't say it looks bad, technically it looks good but there's many issues with animation, things like that. I assume it's just optimization issues since my specifications are weird.

 

[RPS37]

Am I the only one looking at my LE console and just laughing?

 

[Loostreaks]

World map UI badly needs an option to individually set what you want to see on it. ( exploration works best when you're simply free roaming).
Also in general to disable quest markers.
For driving also holo markers in the world so you con't have to rely on mini map ( Mafia 3 had something like this).

 

[Loostreaks]

A sequel is out of the question. The ip is radioactive right now.

Eh, I get the impression this will go down as Fallout New Vegas: something better received years after release. Core of the game is great: they simply need to iron out all the edges.
Their bigger problem is they don't have that much time with standalone multiplayer they're working on ( with a different team).

 

[#Phonepunk#]

Wiah cool a side op where you talk to a ptsd addled suicidal cop and bond together over a shared experience. very cool.

Just loving seeing all of the world building here. CDPR’s writing in this game is interesting totally appropriate cyber noir type stuff. ❤

oh... is this the mission Gamespot girl refused to do? because it says “talk to the cops”? Lol

way to miss a really cool side mission about empathy that humanizes characters, way to miss out on a good thing, all because of your activist evangelicalism

 

[Komatsu]

It's reached a point where people on Reddit are inventing bugs. I literally downgraded my driver to try to reproduce a bug listed (falling through the floor at the Nomad camp) and could not reproduce it at all in spite of having basically the same setup. As someone who spent 2 years of my life QAing software for a living, many of the reports reek of bullshit and clout-chasing.

woah cool a side op where you talk to a ptsd addled suicidal cop and bond together over a shared experience. very cool. CDPR’s writing in this game has pretty much been always interesting.

The fact that the other cops are portrayed somewhat positively was interesting reversion of expectations as well. Cyberpunk cops are almost always crooks.

 

[CrustyBritches]

I didn't read the part that PC is to follow later. Game is still 1.04. Reinstalled for nothing.

 

[#Phonepunk#]

one thing is certain any qa workers at CDPR needing to put together a list of bugs is having their discovery work done for them by scores of internet trolls rn

Spoilers

Spoiler: Alt Cunningham

Oh my god just did the main mission "Never Fade Away" (after i finished Rogue/Evelyn/Takermura 3 missions) and i have to say this.
Alt Cunningham is the fucking best girl on the whole show, what a hottie!! The romance scene between her and Johnny was
I think this scene rivals Triss scene from Witcher 2 and Yennefer (unicorn sex) from Witcher 3 and Shani (from HoS) its just that good.
First person rules man...

After that im just feeling bad i have to go back to my "Female V" knowing im stuck with bad options like Judy or River, i dont want those. I wanted Panam and even Panam seems decent at best.
I was interest the most in Evelyn Parker, seemed like a character that would be good to romance, she is mysterious and good looking. Too bad cant romance her (Why CDPR!!)
And then I saw Alt Cunningham and its massive difference between her and crackhead Judy. Such an unfortunate one. I'm seriously thinking of ending the game as a virgin now.

Alt Cunningham > > > Evelyn Parker > Panam > The Rest.
