CD Projekt Red has released patch 1.1 for Cyberpunk 2077, the first of several updates and fixes they have planned throughout 2021. Patch 1.1 is largely focused on stability, according to CDPR, which will continue to improve in the next patch 1.2 provided.
In terms of stability, the CDPR says it has dealt with memory usage related to many of the game’s systems, including characters, navigation, street traffic, and more. Lock issues have also been fixed while loading saved and opening or closing the game.
Related to some major storage file corruption issues shortly after release, CDPR says it has fixed an issue “responsible for save oversizing (related to the modifier indicating whether the item is designed)” and that it has trimmed excess size of existing saves “. However, this will not repair saved files that were already damaged before the previous 1.06 fix.
For PC users specifically, the CDPR says gamers should now be able to achieve success while Steam is in offline mode. The list of PC solutions also includes “game start locks related to cache loading on NVIDIA graphics cards.”
You can pick up the rest of the patch update notes 1.1 at the CDPR site.
This is the first of several updates and patches throughout 2021 that CDPR said they had planned on their beautiful roadmap last week. Along with the roadmap, CDPR also posted the previous apology video and a page on its site dedicated to its progress toward improving the game.
