Cyberpunk 2077 Releases Another Update, Fixes a Number of New Bugs

CD Projekt Red has pushed its third Cyberpunk 2077 update in a month, addressing a number of new bugs, including progression glitches. Hotfix 1.22 is now live across PC, consoles and Google Stadia, and you can read the full patch notes at the end of this story. This update addresses a number of issues with quests and content in the open world. CD Projekt Red have fixed issues where players could get trapped in quests like Epistrophy and Until Death Do Us Part, and bugs where NPCs like Takemura could get stuck during the quest Down on the Street. Another fix has made it so that players aren't left without weapons or consumables after interacting with a certain panel during the mission Riders on the Storm. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/12/07/cyberpunk-2077-review"] As well as addressing intricate issues like NPC clothes clipping and the tracking of a specific dataterm towards the Frequent Flyer achievement, CD Projekt Red says Hotfix 1.22 will help stabilize the game. It's said to improve Cyberpunk's performance via memory management optimisations and GPU tweaks. The aforementioned optimizations are coming to consoles too, with GPU and ESRAM improvements on Xbox One and memory management improvements on PlayStation 5. Google Stadia players have also been cleared of an annoying bug where they could get soft locked if they entered the key bindings menu without a keyboard attached.

CD Projekt Red recently said that it had learned a huge lesson after Cyberpunk's rocky launch, and has committed to major changes in future.
