Regardless, it’s a hollow apology. It handwaves away the issues, deflects to the PC reviews, and other than taking responsibility off the devs still says nothing. The game is missing promised features and the employees knew and tried to warn them. They deceptively marketed the shit out of it and lied through their teeth. They promised refunds they couldn’t provide and now they do this. Apology not accepted. Unless they had one person on QA playing I find it hard to believe they just didn’t notice regular framedrops into the sub 10s and disappearing features.
The game is a nightmare on old consoles and a deceptively marketed rushed hatchet job otherwise. I don’t blame the devs or QA for this and never have, this is on CDPR management and this sad apology just digs the grave further.
To be perfectly honest, im disappointed that the next gen upgrade is now planned for the second half of the year but on the positive side, I have other games to play in the mean time.
I agree with you, but I also if I’m being honest. I think they were in a lose-lose situation. As regardless of what they said I feel like it would have come off the same. The people who are still feeling hurt are still going to feel hurt regardless of what they said.
With all of it’s issues I really really like this game, just imagine what they could’ve really done had they dropped the last gen console versions a few years ago and focused on PC and current consoles gen only, could’ve been wonderful, anyway I still love CDPR but I wonder if they’re going to make a sequel to Cyberpunk next or if they’re now going back to The Witcher, whatever they do I’ll be there day one but I’m not expecting another game from until 2026-27 tbh, with 2025 being the earliest possible.
It’s probably better on One and One X. It’s harder to notice for Series X and S, as it runs fine on both systems. I hope the LOD has improve as the patch notes mention.
Played for an hour this afternoon, just to see if the new patch did anything noticeable. Did a couple of side gigs. Looked & felt the same to me.
According to the notes 1.1 was mainly a performance & stability patch, which also fixed several serious bugs in specific quests.
The game has been running fine, for me, since about the second hot fix & I never actually had any game breaking bugs during quests. So not much of a difference here on my 1X.
I wonder what all the 16 gigs did hehe. I haven’t done all of the fixed quests though, but some I have wihtout issues before the patch so I really don’t know. Guess I’m lucky. Having a blast though!
This game, after almost 300 hours on Series X of almost no issues (only 3 small crashes in 280 hours) almost bricked my console yesterday, I was in the last mission (SPOILERS) with the Nomads right about when we’re going to invade Arasaka to get to Mikoshi and boom! hard crashed my console, took a few minutes to turn on and nothing was working for a few minutes, it didn’t want to connect to the internet, it didn’t want to read discs and it was barely responding to my controller and it was making weird sounds and everything on screen looked glitchy (this happened two times because the first time it hard crashed I went back to the game right away like an idiot) well I unplugged the console the second time and it fixed the issue and everything went back to normal, I was able to finish the mission, loaded another save just to be safe and moved the game to the HDD just in case and everything was smooth from there, I’m surprised that my Series X survived that, hope these crashes don’t cause long term issues : /
I noticed that the game seemed buggier than before with the last patch, especially when driving around in vehicles. Or maybe it was always like that, Idk. Still, I encountered some strange bugs whille playing with 1.1, some I never encountered before, like my vehicle sent flying into the stars or getting stuck.
I just got flashbacks to Skyrim’s original release on my 360. Those were the days. Every gaming session carried an underlying threat. It was an exciting time
I don’t know if it was the patch or just the game getting buggier the further I went into the story lol.
I remember Skyrim crashing all the time lol but it never crashed my console, I don’t think my Series X is fine or at least not the way it was before this happened, I can play games but it now takes longer for the Series X to boot up and it takes longer for everything to show up on screen, maybe I should do a reset? it was scary though ngl especially because I just sold my One X a few days ago and from what I’m hearing it’s hard to get a Series X now in the US, so far so good today when it comes to playing games at least.
It’s the game in general, it got buggier the more I progressed during my playthrough pre-patch, I was pretty much saving after almost every notable action I took!
I did give it a brief whirl after the patch and the framerate’s definitely taken a hit in both modes, but particularly in quality mode.
