Hopefully you're fine, it doesn't seem like everyone gets the same problems.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
I'll keep you updated
We should pin a post re performance saying wait 6 months. It'll probably run well on a mid rig PC someday, but not soon. It'll probably never run well on anything below that.
Its an early access title.
Damn. Guess I will keep waiting and play other things for now then.
What's a mid rig pc? 1650 ? No way it runs well on that..
2060 and up.. 1080p.. should be very playable.
There are a couple of gameplay videos on youtube for similarly spec'd rigs from a couple of weeks back.. game might have been optimized a bit since, but it doesnt look too good with those specs.
or this
I think 1366x786 doesn't equal 1080p as far as I'm concerned, which is the resolution in these videos? More like 720p I believe. I don't play on resolution higher than my monitor's one.
This rig has played Resident Evil 3 remake and Doom Eternal this year on mostly high settings so I was hoping I will at least hit medium in this.
Had a bug on the final part of the racing quest you do for Claire just now. Wouldn’t let me finish the quest because I wasn’t able to get out of my vehicle.
I hate how crappy the technical issues are because I love the content.

I have only 5 moderate side quests left (I’m sure a few more will appear as I meet new people in the storylines), completed the high ones. I’ve left off ‘very high’ for now as I’m going to play more storyline again and prefer to use my accumulated attribute and skill points there first, as I tried a few cyberpyshcos that were ‘very high’ and I wasn’t well equipped in my cyberdeck, guns or ability to withstand attacks. I have 5 attribute points and 15 skill points ready to rock.
:edit: has anyone bothered with the NCPD crimes? I’ve done a few but mainly bypass them.

60 hours here on PC, still not one game breaking bug, just a few visual floating items, that's all.
I will probably be doing a second run with female V right after I finish this one. Having a blast!

I can't deny that there's been more than a hint of schadenfreude from witnessing a developer torch their reputation in the space of a couple of days after taking years to build it up. I'm not rooting for the game to fail or anything like that - I want to play it on the PS5 when they fix it - but it's been so interesting watching it all unfold.
I feel really lucky that I got through the game with just two minor bugs where I couldn't finish quests because something was missing, or I couldn't open something. I wish the suits at CDPR would have had the balls to delay it even further, a good 6 months of bug fixing and further developing systems would have done the game so much good and the story really deserved that.
Now I feel like a great game has pretty much been killed due to stupidity and greed, and I still don't get how the decision to release the game in this state played out well in any of the suits heads, there were so many examples of massive backlash for non-working games in the last couple of years that there is no way they could have thought this would play out well for them.
I mean it's not just the fact that this game now has a massively tarnished reputation because of it but CDPR has gone from the big hope of the game industry to just another shitty game developer who exploits their talent and releases unfinished train wrecks of games.
With my second play through I will definitely wait 6 months or how long ever it will take to get the optimized experience.
I am not too hopeful they know how to sort it out. There have been 3 patches so far I think, and not one has solved the crashing issues.
The game has got huge problems with quests becoming unfinishable, constant crashes every hour or so, visual glitches constantly, the menus need some serious work.
And to top it all off the actual mechanics of the game need a rework. Alcohol does nothing but negative effects, hence its pointless. The food and drink has minimal and every single different type has the exact same effect.
Along with the AI and NPCs being complete bots with no thought process behind them.
I think the game might have to be played on the hardest setting to get a proper challenge and have the AI have some actual intelligence
I think you are asking a bit much of a game studio to create a sentient program capable of "thought process".
They sorted The Witcher 3 though, which was also a buggy mess when it came out, not as much as this one, but still, and they polished it brilliantly.
It should be lower ye fecker
Weirdly I thought the quests were buggier in Witcher 3. There were numerous side-quests that were not completable at release and were fixed in the first few months. I have just finished my first playthrough and managed to complete all the quests I attempted but the game is obviously a long way from finished.
The game as a whole is way buggier than W3 and the AI seems to be placeholder at the moment so they definitely have more work to do overall. It'll be the January and February patches before they start making progress. CDPR have said themselves that the major patches are the ones to wait for rather than these quick fixes. I'm going to wait a few months for my second playthrough now though.
The Witcher 3 was fixable though... there is SO much for them to fix with Cyberpunk. Fix is maybe the wrong word...
What’s the best way to make money? The gigs don’t seem to make much?
I found money difficult to come by as well. Hacking access points on gigs / missions seem to work best for me and to an extent hacking vending machines too.
Lying about your game being a massive open world with hundreds of unique interactions, NPCs, branching quests, is quite popular.
Aye, I’m always hacking points but even those don’t seem to make much. I usually don’t sell items as I dissemble them for crafting and I’m wondering if that’s perhaps the way to get money.
How much are you talking? I've usually got around 30k just from missions and hacking access points and I've still been buying quite a bit along the way. Always struggle to spend money on games like these as the guns usually go obsolete within a couple of levels. I do like the upgrade idea for that though.
Just simple things like actually trying to work together, or attacking after they have stunned or whatever, would go a long way to adding a degree of immersion to the game.
Yeah, to be fair this run wasn't a crafting run so I sold pretty much everything. I was still $100,000 off the car I wanted when I finished it though and money is definitely difficult to get generally. I may play on for a bit to get it before doing a second run in a few months.
Did you buy cars throughout the game? I don't understand the point of it at all except as you say for that final car you want to cruise around in.
I bought a couple early on and then I was just going for that final car (which is obviously crazy expensive). I spend most of my time on motorbikes whilst moving around.
do you have specific perks? I only make around 2-3k from gigs and on the missions maybe around 10k max of the ones I’ve done even when hacking.
Honestly the money system is another issue I have. The cars are ridiculously priced as are the cyberware upgrades. I haven't purchased a single car yet.
The regular crime scenes and then sell all loot. They're not especially profitable but they're pretty quick to do. If your crafting then just sell grey items maybe? Maybe green as well? Them materials aren't too valuable.
I have got the more money from access points perk and the highlight access points perk as well to make sure I don't miss any. Some junk is actually worth quite a bit as well, I sold 2 white rarity items for 750 a pop when I'd normally just disassemble everything.do you have specific perks?

I liked the story but with all the problems the game is having in its current state this sounds like a fair score.
Very near the end of the game but the Sinnerman mission/story progression is still the best sidequest in the game and the only mission that really gave me that Witcher-style 'oh my god!!!!' reaction. Why wasn't there more side missions like this?
Just out of curiosity what System were you playing on? I played on PC and had like 1 crash in 100 hours played.
When it comes to Quests I couldn't finish two side quests because the final reward wasn't there and two police scanner quests where I looted the item, but it didn't finish apart from that everything worked for me.
The NPC "AI" is really shit though, no disputing that.
I have only bought 3 vehicles but that was after completing around 30 Gigs of moderate difficulty
I have a lot of crafting materials so I’ll probably craft some green clothing or weapons to try make some money
I have the highlight access points perk so I’ll look into getting the more money perk after, is it in the same tree?
Is Keanu Reeves actually in this game?
Yeah, quite a lot. Something needs to happen in the plot before he's introduced.
Stuff like this was a thing in the Witcher 3 as well. For example, a lot of the skill tree was basically pointless and kinda gave the impression of depth without actually having it.
Reading about this game seems like there are a few things CDPR haven't improved on at all since then.
Funny I didn’t really like that mission. I just didn’t really know what was happening through it. The side character missions were top quality.
PS5 and its the only game that's crashed on me.
