Cyberpunk 2077 Patch Fixes Braindance Epileptic Triggers and Squashes Pesky Bugs

The 1.04 patch for Cyberpunk 2077 is finally out and it brings a number of fixes along with it. The game’s pre-launch media reviews also mentioned how it was riddled with bugs. Consequently, it seems CD Projekt RED has identified the problems and deployed a patch to get rid of these annoying bugs.

The patch is extremely thorough and fixes a number of issues. The majority of fixes are applied to the quests which is where the gameplay is usually disrupted. Take a look at the image below to see the changes made to enhance the gameplay experience.

In addition to this, the game also made a couple of visual and performance changes. Take a look at them below:

Gameplay

• Fixed the preview in weapon crafting.

Visual

• Reduced vehicle appearance pop-in.
• Speeded up switching first-person perspective to third person perspective in a vehicle.
• Fixed issues with animations missing from important quest NPCs during cinematics.

Performance & Stability

• Improved stability, including various crash fixes.

Cyberpunk 2077 patch also fixes its Braindance sequence that contained epileptic triggers

The pre-launch game reports had also mentioned how the game’s Braindance sequences had epileptic triggers, which could put players in harm’s way. However, CDPR was quick to address this and it promised to fix this as soon as possible.

Consequently, this update also tweaks the flashing lights in the Braindance sequence to reduce the risk of such triggers. Additionally, the Braindance sequence also included one song which triggered copyright issues for streamers. CDPR has also fixed this with an option for players to disable copyrighted music.

Miscellaneous

• Modified the flashing effect on braindances to reduce the risk of inducing epileptic symptoms. The effect has been smoothed out and the flashes reduced in frequency and magnitude.
• Removed copyrighted songs incorrectly present in the game with “Disable Copyrighted Music” feature toggled on.

Furthermore, the update also introduced certain PC and Console specific fixes.

PC-specific

• Switching language to default in the in-game settings now correctly sets it to the language of your Steam client.

Console-specific

• Improved reflections quality on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 to eliminate the smudge effect.
• Fixed “The Wasteland” achievement being stuck on 97% after completing all relevant missions in The Badlands on Xbox.
• Fixed an issue with missing PT-BR VO for Xbox players in Americas.

Cyberpunk 2077 is still a great RPG, despite the mixed reviews that it has received. Additionally, a lot of DLC expansions are also planned for the game. Hopefully, they will bolster its popularity and reputation further.
