CD Projekt Red kept its word and, as announced, released the promised Cyberpunk 2077 patch notes 1.1 for the controversial action role-playing game Cyberpunk 2077 (test) within ten days of the presentation of the new roadmap for 2021 . The studio sees the update as the foundation for future improvements to the game.
Cyberpunk 2077 Patch notes 1.1 corrects bugs on all platforms
The Polish development studio improves in all relevant areas such as the stability and the graphics, the user interface, the quests and the open world as well as the successes and with Patch 1.1 fixes numerous bugs on the PC and the game consoles as well as with the cloud gaming service Stadia from Google.
This update forms the necessary foundation for upcoming patches. We primarily focused on stabilizing the game and fixing bugs. We will continue this work in Patch 1.2 and in further updates.
CD Projekt Red promised to continue to listen to player feedback and to fix reported problems “to improve the gaming experience in general “. However, the development studio has not yet given any more specific examples of how to proceed or upcoming patches.
No improvements to the less intelligent AI
So far, by far not all points of criticism have been addressed by the developers. The often criticized AI of the residents, adversaries and police officers in Night City, who often interact with little “intelligent” with each other, with the main protagonist and their own environment, has not yet been optimized and players have also been looking for performance optimizations so far vain.
CD Projekt Red focuses on the Cyberpunk 2077 Patch quests
We start with the bug fixes and optimizations in the official Cyberpunk 2077 patch release notes, which are supposed to bring improvements on all platforms and which mostly fall in the area of quests and open world.
stability
- Various stability improvements including:
- Improved memory usage in various sub-systems of the game – characters, interactions, navigation, in-game videos (TV, commercials, news), leaves, laser effects, minimap, devices, AI, road traffic, the environmental damage system, graphics card-related and more.
- Various problems that led to crashes have been fixed (including loading saves, starting and exiting the game and the last possible save point [Point of No Return]).
