CD Projekt RED and also the fans could certainly have imagined a much better start for Cyberpunk 2077. The developers have now released a more comprehensive patch, but the numerous problems are by no means a thing of the past.
CD Projekt RED has released the update to version 1.10 for Cyberpunk 2077. In addition to numerous problem fixes, above all stability improvements on the PlayStation 4 are promised – but still, not all that glitters is gold.
What exactly does the update deliver? Many of the criticized problems, causes of crashes and quest problems are to be addressed in version 1.10. Crashes should thus occur less often and game mechanics that were previously hooked should now work. The title should now be more executable on the PS4 in particular. For this you have to chase 16.9 GB of data through your line. You can read the complete patch log below after the actual report.
Is that all good in Cyberpunk 2077? Unfortunately, the answer to that is God’s: Not at all! Even after the patch release, the complaints and dissatisfied voices among fans increase. Even after the update, system crashes should still increase. Some players even say that the frequency of crashes actually increased after installing version 1.10.

You know I wasn’t going to jump on the @CyberpunkGame bash train. Yeah it wasn’t perfect, but it ran ok (graphic glitches aside); it kind of reminded us of Saints Row II, which we loved. But then they dropped Patch 1.1, and now I’m getting nothing but crashes. #cyberpunk #gaming pic.twitter.com/Qh70tAkibW

How it actually looks in reality remains to be seen and is currently unclear. There are also players who have played through Cyberpunk 2077 completely without having to endure a crash. One or the other gamer may therefore tend to exaggerate when it comes to the frequency of crashes. Either way: There is obviously still a lot of work to be done on CD Projekt RED – update to version 1.10 or not.
So cyberpunk 2077 is definitely playing better on the pro since the new update 🙂🙏.

The fact that games have a few bugs at release is almost standard. But some are so bugged that they are virtually unplayable. We have selected a few games for you that should never have appeared this way.
