Cyberpunk update 2.3 overview stream 5 PM CEST

Nvidia might not want them to support and advertise PSSR
nVidia feels more threat from PSSR than from the implementation of FSR4 and FSR3.5 FG?

This PS5 Pro begging is so old and tiring. You keep shitting on them from the day the Pro was announced, lol. It's not their problem you spent a ton of money on an overpriced hardware. It's a niche product and it still runs the game BTW. Also, they were saying they dont work on the pro patch and don't plan to do it in November already, but yet, again, you cry because "they could at least say they wont do it!!!"
 
My nuclear take as a Pro owner is: I bought it for the upgrades that were announced. If you wanted more you bought it based on smoke and mirrors and it's nobody's fault but yours.
 
To be fair, they said back in november that they currently had no plans for a PS5 pro patch.
So do you expect them to come out and say it will never happen? Unless they say otherwise, you have to assume they won't do a Pro patch, not that they might but are silent about it.

It's all cosmetics hardly thread worthy.

Wait they added a legit taxi service? That auto drives you to your destination? That's awesome!


This was a thing on GTA V on day 1 :/

It's kinda wild they had this thing written up as part of the story and it's taken them 5 years to implement after the fact.

Fancy comparing it in scope to 2.2, but it turns out to be 2.2.1.

Annoying they said they've been listening to requests and this is the result. Where is the cosmetic cyberware? A FOV slider on console?

Them saying they're supporting new technology needed a massive caveat of "for PC only" too.

Oh and no mods on console like Witcher 3 is getting? Shame.

So is this going to break mods again? 😡
I think this is the last update for the game so this will be a perfect time for me to start my second playthrough and try out the mods lol.
They did all that work to get it running on Mac for an extra 2,000 sales but won't throw in a Pro Mode to sell an extra 20,000 copies for PS5 Pro? Make it make sense.

Its because the PS5 pro's key feature PSSR is broken and a patch don't release until next year. Plus the ps5 pro is selling like crap, that's why a lot of the publishers are ignoring doing "ps5 pro" patches at the moment.

I should have just waited until GTA 6 is buy my ps5 Pro because it has just been a paper weight for me.

Further additions to the game as a whole helps everyone. Both new and old players.

Further improvement to a PS5 Pro patch helps a small percentage.

If a PS5 Pro patch ever comes, cool, but it's dishonest for you to even bring up this comparison.
I would argue that the point of this patch is to get the word out that the game still exists. It's marketing, essentially.

Giving people what they are crowing about most loudly is a good way of doing that.

Like I said, they're still working on the game, they're still in the engine, no excuse. Especially when this patch adds 400 different upscaling methods. I mean realistically how many people are using HDR10+ on Intel GPUs? Can't be more than the amount of PS5 Pros out there.

Patch Notes

Update 2.3 lands tomorrow!


Experience Night City in a whole new way — this patch introduces 4 new vehicles, the AutoDrive feature, self-driving Delamain cabs and more! It also contains updates for CrystalCoat™ and Photo Mode, as well as support for AMD FSR 3.1 Frame Generation, Intel XeSS 2.0 and HDR10+ Gaming, among others.


Update 2.3 also brings Cyberpunk 2077 to a whole new platform: Mac with Apple silicon! If you already own the game on Steam, you can play it on your compatible device. To find out whether your Mac can run Cyberpunk 2077, please check the official requirements.


Read the list of changes for more info:


Vehicles

  • Added 4 new vehicles, including several Side Jobs tied to acquiring them:
    • Yaiba ARV-Q340 Semimaru

      Reward from a new side job (to unlock, complete The Hunt and The Beast In Me).

      An additional side job unlocks the CrystalCoat™ feature for it.
    • Rayfield Caliburn "Mordred"

      Reward from a new side job (to unlock, complete The Beast in Me: Badlands, The Beast in Me: Santo Domingo, Transmission, and Search and Destroy)."
    • Yaiba ASM-R250 Muramasa

      Reward from a new side job (to unlock, purchase 1 Yaiba vehicle, purchase at least 3 vehicles through AUTOFIXER, and complete Reported Crime: You Play with Fire...).

      If you fail the side job, the vehicle can later be purchased through AUTOFIXER.
    • Chevillon Legatus 450 Aquila

      Available for purchase on AUTOFIXER.
  • Introducing AutoDrive! This cutting-edge, autonomous driving feature will take you to your chosen destination (i.e. job objective or placed pin on the map). If you have no set destination, it will take you on a leisurely ride through the streets of Night City. Simply hop in any of your vehicles, make sure you're on a road, and hold H (PC) / Left Stick (consoles) to activate. This feature is disabled when you enter combat or when your vehicle is heavily damaged.
  • Implemented Cinematic Camera for AutoDrive. Hold Q (PC) / D-Pad Right (consoles) to activate. Sit back and enjoy cinematic views of Night City as you cruise toward your destination.
  • Self-driving Delamain cabs are now available on demand! Simply open the menu to call vehicles, then select "Delamain Cab" from the list to request a ride. This feature unlocks after completing the job Don't Lose Your Mind (regardless of outcome) and receiving a message from Delamain.
  • Rayfield's CrystalCoat™ is now available for vehicles from partner brands, including motorcycles. Additionally, the infamous hacker known as Cosmetic_Troll exploited a vulnerability and created a cracked version of Rayfield's CrystalCoat™ technology for lower-end vehicles. Please note, however, that some models do not support the technology, such as heavily modded nomad vehicles and job-related vehicles.
  • Fixed an issue where unique color schemes did not work properly on the Mizutani Shion MZ1 and MZ2.
  • Fixed an issue where unique color scheme could not be applied properly to the Villefort Deleon "Vindicator".

Photo Mode

  • Added 27 new NPCs that can be spawned in Photo Mode, including Rita Wheeler, the Cassel twins, fixers, Dum Dum, the iguana, Brendan, and more.
  • You can now switch between alternative outfits for NPCs spawned in Photo Mode.
  • You can now switch between V's saved Wardrobe outfits in Photo Mode.
  • Added a confirmation pop-up when exiting Photo Mode to prevent accidental exits after setting up the perfect shot.
  • Added more customization options to the Look-At Camera feature, including an option for only the character's eyes to turn toward the camera instead of their entire body.
  • Added improvements to Lighting:
    • Lights now spawn around the camera instead of the player character.
    • Added an outline to the spotlight mesh and an indicator when it's off screen for better visibility.
    • Improved light movement speed on controllers.
  • Added multiple new stickers and frames, including iconic quotes and stylish overlays that let you turn your screenshots into Night City postcards – perfect for sharing memories from the City of Dreams.
  • Improved Depth of Field and moved it to the Camera tab.
  • Added a new Color Balance tab, allowing you to create your own custom filters.
  • Added a new Time and Weather tab:
    • Weather: includes rain, acid rain, fog, sandstorm, pollution, and sunny.
    • Time of Day: changes the time of day within Photo Mode.
    • Frame Forward: advances through an unlimited amount of frames to capture the perfect shot.
    • Game Speed: allows in-game time to progress while in Photo Mode."

Quality of Life & Accessibility

  • The game will now detect if the player is using inverted mouse button settings and automatically adjusts in-game button prompts accordingly.
  • Added an option to toggle aiming down sights in Settings → Controls.

Jobs & Open World

  • Cyberpsycho Sighting: Bloody Ritual - the "Crack the ritualist's shard" objective now properly disappears from the Journal after completing the objective.
  • Sex on Wheels - now properly appears in the Journal after receiving the message from Jake Estevez.
  • Shot by Both Sides - fixed an issue where selecting a specific dialogue option in the conversation with Bree created a nameless, iconless item in the player's Inventory.
  • Shot by Both Sides - fixed an issue where the button to go to the lower level didn't appear on the elevator panel.

Gameplay

  • Fixed an issue where, when using a controller in Trauma Drama, the controllable character would default to shooting upwards instead of forward.
  • Players can now drop more Cyberware Capacity Shards if some within the intended drop limit were previously missed.
  • Fixed an issue causing automatic weapons to fire slower than intended.
  • Fixed an issue where the Official BARGHEST Tac Vest didn't drop from the scripted Airdrop as intended.
  • The level 60 Engineer perk no longer activates the EMP blast outside of combat or after entering a vehicle.
  • Added an option to replay the gameplay tutorial at any time via Settings → Controls.

Miscellaneous

  • Added an option to tell Johnny to go away after you look at him for a short while when he appears in the passenger seat. He takes the hint and disappears as a passenger for a couple days.
  • Fixed an issue where the sound of V's Radioport could be randomly interrupted by the Radioports of nearby NPCs.
  • Fixed an issue where History by Gazelle Twin and Trash Generation played too loudly compared to other songs on the radio.
  • Improved the HDR Setting screen: fixed the HDR calibration preview so it correctly reflects the chosen settings, and clarified the description of the "Tone-Mapping Midpoint" setting.
  • Updated the End User Licence Agreement. You will be asked to accept it again when you load the game after updating.
  • Fixed several visual issues with missing, clipping, or floating textures.
  • Fixed several localization issues in various languages.

PC-specific

  • Added support for AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 4 for compatible AMD GPUs. IMPORTANT: The FSR 4 option will not be available in the in-game settings until the supporting AMD driver is installed. Please note that the driver will be released at a later date.
  • Added support for AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution Frame Generation 3.1 for compatible hardware. It can now be used in combination with any upscaler.
  • Added support for Intel XeSS 2.0, with XeSS Frame Generation available on compatible hardware.
  • Added support for HDR10+ GAMING certified Intel GPUs. To enable this feature, your display must support the technology (find my display) and have "Game Mode" enabled. The HDR10+ GAMING toggle can be found in Settings in the Video tab.
  • Fixed an issue where the DLSS Super Resolution Preset would invisibly revert from the CNN model to the Transformer model after restarting the game, even though the UI still displayed the CNN model as active.
  • Added more detailed information to the DLSS Super Resolution Preset tooltip in Settings to help players choose the best option for their setup.
  • Added the ability to move the mouse cursor to a different display while in Windowed Borderless mode.
  • Increased the maximum save size from 12 MB to 15 MB.
  • It will now be possible to rebind the key used to jump out of vehicles with the Stuntjock perk.

PSSR is not broken. It might not be as good as DLSS or FSR4, but it's still a lot better than the FSR2.2 that the game uses now.
 
Seems like it's gonna be about car customisation (several devs teasing it on twitter). Yeah, don't hold your breath, it's gonna be a shitty update. Not sure why they feel the need to make a stream for that tbh.
you know. more car customizations and new fashions for V! just we want! when did updates that are basically digital versions of playing with Barbies become newsworthy/stream-worthy? back in my day, an update announcement meant major gameplay changes, new content, graphical overhauls, etc. And we still had money left over to go the picture shows!
looking forward to the disappointment later in the day though.
 
Great news about VRR for consoles. I'm happy with that.
I'm guessing that doesn't include the Switch 2...yet

Is it that big of a patch?

Didn't really follow the hype around it
Car customization for more cars, 3 new cars, 1 new bike
auto drive (including taxi service)
cinematic mode (while driving)
photo mode w/lots of options
tweaked lighting and VRR for consoles (FSR 3 update for PC)

If you have a better theory why they refuse to do a simple res bump and call it a day I would love to hear it
According to Remedy, getting a Pro patch takes a while. Plus, many games have received FSR4 updates without getting PSSR.

The certification and patching process for consoles is a fair bit more regulated than for PC.
 
So do you expect them to come out and say it will never happen? Unless they say otherwise, you have to assume they won't do a Pro patch, not that they might but are silent about it.
I do yeah. Especially when people keep asking them everytime they post something. Just clarify once and for all.
 
They mentioned new quests for like 5 seconds and never again. Dafuq.
If i understood correctly, the new quest are just to get new veichles, so probably a phonecall and not much else.

I sincerely doubt they made new good quest after so much time.

Edit: lol why the empaty reaction tho??

If the objective was to give people what they wanted most, check their socials. Check the subreddit. NG+, more V customization (robo arms, for example) and third person is what's being crowed about most.

The only place I can find more than a few people even mentioning a PS5 Pro patch is GAF. This is why I'm convinced this is such a niche and small issue. Even on GAF, most the people complaining about a PS5 Pro patch already own the game. I don't see missed sales anywhere.

Again how many people were asking for HDR10+ support on Intel GPUs. You can't realistically say that the PS5 Pro is too niche for them to work on it when they added that shit.

Just be objective about this and think it through.

They did already. And no one goes "we'll never do it". "No plan" is PR talk for "it ain't happening". They don't need to clarify any further.

Question:
Is Sony willing to spend money to make devs update to their new different hardware?

Cause im pretty sure Path Tracing was done with nvidia onboard and even an nvidia engineer helping them out.

I am being objective about it. I never said it was too niche for them to work on it. It is a niche issue, though. If they ever work on it, cool, but niche issues are not priorities. CDPR can prioritize what they want. Obviously, they haven't prioritized the more widespread requests such as NG+

They already stated they have no plans for a PS5 Pro patch and the reason is understandable.
It's a significant work for a really old game at this point that is not going to make new users buy the game.
It's basically "let's do all this work so that a few people can try it for 30 minutes, complain that there's no path tracing and move on".

It's more important that they're focusing on PS5 development for The Witcher 4.
 
I'm not convinced there's 20k sales pending for a PS5 pro patch. Seems like metrics pulled out of the most disgusting ass imaginable.
I would bet my life that a PS5 Pro patch would sell 10x more copies than a Mac version. Mac users don't buy hardcore games. The sales figures for everything from RE4 Remake to Death Stranding back that up.
 
I can see them doing at least one more big, "last "hurrah" update for this game, especially if it continues to sell well.

Nothing about this came off as "final farewell" update.
 
fanks bruv, been laying low past few weeks now I'm bound over and doing community service. told the judge some dull cunt fell face first into me pint glass but they weren't buying it

Fucking hell I would of dissmissed that case and sentanced the so called victim to 25hrs in HMP Broadmoor the cunt. Hope community service alright though, normaly meet some top lads and while the suns out get the guns out of that high vis vest 💪.
