This bug was driving me crazy. I am glad they finally fixed it

It least there was a mod on PC to quickly get rid of it, but that sucked for people playing on consoles..

I've never seen so many articles about a single games updates as this one

No Man’s Sky.

I feel like I only ever see it's yearly major updates. Actual new content and changes that is newsworthy. not just small patches

It's because people desperately want this game to be good and the initial release was a train wreck.

this game IS good now so quit your bullshit

It's nothing what they promised. Fuck CDPR

If you bought into clearly false marketing hype I’m not sure what to tell you. It’s a solid game that’s better than any other RPG released recently (outside of maybe BG3, which is so different it barely counts as the same genre)

It was never going to be everything promised in marketing, just like every other game released in the last 15 years.

Whilst I'm not gonna act like the other guy. This "if you bought into the clearly false marketing then it's your fault" crap needs to die.

It's not consumers' fault for thinking that a superman movie has a flying superman when they talk about how superman flies in the movie. It's always the companies fault. I do not think it is at all helpful to blame the consumers foe cdprs faults.

I mean, anyone who’s ever followed video game marketing knows they’ll promise the moon and the stars and only deliver a spaceship that can maybe hit orbit.

We shouldn’t blame consumers, but we should also be skeptical of any claim a developer makes about their game. NMS, CP2077, CoD, etc are all examples of over promise and underdeliver, and those are only the few I can think of off the top of my head. This is unfortunately the norm, not the exception. Starfield is a great example too. It fell a little flat on release because it turned out to be another generic Bethesda game, which wasn’t what the marketing promised, but is exactly what was expected by many.

Wait for reviews from reputable sources (not ign) and make decisions then. Don’t buy into the marketing hype that is all non-committal and doesn’t promise anything.

i think it's weird how outright immune software companies are from false advertising claims...

like, in any other industry, failure to deliver promised products would lead to a lawsuit...

…the link literally goes to CDPR’s website. Or would you rather they not post patch notes?

I don't care if they post patch notes, I think it's strange that communities like this post them as news. It's not usual to see it. People don't post news posts about some random games small patch. But cp2042? Every patch gets an article posted in places like this

Heh. Kinda related, but any competitive multiplayer game's community makes way more content than a post out of even one line patch notes. This is normal.

It's cool that someone passionate enough about Cyberpunk (or CDPR themselves) posted it to drive discussion about the efforts they're making to continue to turn around that insanely horrible launch. The comments show that at least someone cared to see the post.

This is normal.

oh sure, for a specific community. it's not for a wider community. you don't see said competitive multiplayer game communities patch notes here, you see it in those communities

Ah, yes a fix for the controller UI controls showing for keyboard/mouse. It was driving me crazy!

Edit: Confirmed. Is fixed!

Had the same bug ! Had to patch the .exe myself using some hex code given by a random user on the steam forum... wtf?!

I just suffered through it. Everytime it would be like press a, y, b I would have to figure out what it actually wanted. Lol. I finally realized. Right mouse button was "A" last night. 😮‍💨

Way to be resourceful!

I couldn't play like that, some actions were impossible. But I found the fix quickly, it was easy enought to do. But still...

Made it possible to properly switch to Arm cyberware by cycling through weapons.

Oh, haha, I was wondering if I was crazy. The only way I could see to equip the Mantis Blades was to hold Y and select it there. Didn't feel very intuitive.

Same with the monowire. I'm doing a netrunner playthrough and had to unequip other weapons to make it come up by default.

This was killing me! One of my favorite builds was pistols and fists, trying to replicate John Wick's Gun-Fu. But it became impossible after 2.0 since I couldn't switch to arms smoothly after my pistol clip was empty. Looking forward to this fix a lot

How good is the game at this stage? On Steam deck?

In general very good, quite fun. No idea about steam deck.

If you’re eager for an action rpg it is a good buy even without the dlc. If you’re curious I’d say it’s a sale buy.

Note though that it REALLY needs a fast SSD or m.2 to run well. Don’t buy this if you’re using an HDD

Any typical 6Gbps sata SSD will do just fine. Doesnt need to be particularly fast, just so its an SSD.

Hated it at launch, loving it now. Playing between my PC and Steam Deck and having a great time.

I love how the cyberwares and crafting systems were revamped so that you can't really become godlike too easily.

Funny you say that, I’m loving the new systems because of how much more powerful I feel. I guess it’s just more even overall now?

I've played it in January 2022 on PC (so about a year after release), going through a second playthrough on Steam Deck now.

Compared to two years ago, the game is not that different IMO. I enjoyed it immensely the first time, and I'm loving it enough now to just play it again. A lot of very noticeable changes with 2.0, with the entire perks system rebuilt and such. Not a major game changer IMHO but it's all good stuff.

As for Steam Deck, it's 100% compatible and looks great. I've noticed very few frame rate issues.

I wish people could let go of their resentment towards the game's launch woes, because this game is a genuine banger with an amazing setting, great gameplay, and a kickass story.

I played it a few months ago on my deck. It has default preset that holds an extremely solid (i think) 30 fps from my testing. Whatever the target was it held really well

So if you don't mind 30 FPS the default is pretty good.

The game has a graphics preset for Steam Deck now, but I wouldn’t take that to mean much.

Please for the love of god don’t break mods again

Edit: god fucking damnit…guess it’s back to 2.0 for now

Also…could we please have a 3rd person camera with V facial animations?? That’s the last thing I want

Too bad the game is just boring. Vehicles control like garbage and all of the main bugs aren't fixed, like police just randomly spawning near you.
