With A Patchwork of Updates, Here's A Full Rundown On 'Cyberpunk 2077's' January Patch 1.11

The Cyberpunk fallout has yet to clear up.

Since its controversial launch back on December 10 of last year, "Cyberpunk 2077" faced an onslaught of disgruntled players, outrage, refunds, Sony Interactive Entertainment's (SIE) wrath, and just about everything you could imagine for such a long-awaited game that fell short of the marker. Though not completely missing the mark, "Cyberpunk 2077's" largest issues were the compatibility issues when running the game on old-gen consoles apart from the PlayStation 4 Pro and the Xbox One X—two consoles that fare pretty well with the game's graphics, resolution, and overall performance needs. "Cyberpunk 2077," however, fares less then preferable on base PlayStations and Xboxs, and the age of any player's respective consoles weighs greatly on the futuristic, sci-fi dystopian game's playability.

SIE pulled the game from its online storefront for the foreseeable future, and refunds were issued to those that bought both physical and digital editions of the game. To add on to the fire growing beneath CD Projekt Red, investors of the game filed a lawsuit against the Polish developers citing shoddy workmanship and a controversial launch before the New Year. Essentially, investors want their return on the game they never received due to the overwhelming issues. Nonetheless, since the beginning, "Cyberpunk 2077" developers CD Projekt Red vowed to fully stabilize the game, launching a host of small fixes since the day-one patches, and promising two full-fledged patches in both January and February of the new year. Now, has CD Projekt Red kept to their promise?

There's issues with Patch 1.11 and the constant need to backtrack.

On January 22, CD Projekt Red launched their first major patch for "Cyberpunk 2077," citing stability improvements and asserting that "we will continue this work in patch 1.2 and other upcoming updates. At the same time, we will keep fixing the bugs you encounter and listening to your feedback on how to improve the overall game experience." Since the complaints over the game performance hurled themselves onto the laps of the Polish developers, smaller patches released to little to no serious improvement for the game on its various platforms—aside from the next-gen PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. Upon 1.1's release, the patch improved aspects such as memory usage, crash fixes on loading saves, quest/open world fixes, and some with the game's user interface (mostly upon the conclusion of braindances.)

In rather Cd Projekt Red's new fashion, less then a week after patch 1.1's release, patch 1.11 was released as a hotfix for fixes that ultimately causes main storyline quest to go awry in "Cyberpunk 2077." Patch 1.11 target the quested titled "Down on the Street" where players' ability for dialogue options with character Takemura on a holocall were nonexistent along with blocked interactions with other non-playable characters (NPC). Patch 1.11 ameliorates this as well as a save/load loot exploit. All-in-all, there were not completely thorough in their patch, and so patch 1.11 serves as a backtrack to the fixes of Patch1.11. with that, we've listed some of the major bug and performance fixes that have come with both the major update and the hotfix.

The updates are summarized below:

Patch 1.1:

  • Memory usage improvements in various systems with characters, interactions, laser effects street traffic, environmental damage system, GPU-related, and more.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
