It's why I'm putting off playing it again for a few years.
I'm over restarting the game again and again, konpeki plaza pls.
Thank god GOG allows you to turn off auto updates and/or do easy version rollbacks.
Steam allows easy roll backs as well fyi.
Easy is relative. I'm pretty sure the easy way is if the game developer creates a separate "beta" branch. The other way is to turn off auto-update, manually download depos and extract them into the same folder essentially reinstalling the entire game with the updates you want and then putting them in the right steam folder. I personally wouldn't call it easy. I'd say it's tedious, prone to user error and unnecessarily time consuming.
It would be easy if Valve took their "beta" branch feature and expanded it to be an actual rollback.
It does? I remember futzing around with it last year for RDR2 and it was kinda annoying.
You just go to steamdb, grab the numbers for the version you want, go to steam console, download it, then replace the files. So not exactly dumb person easy, but pretty damn easy once you figure out how to do it. I've done it a bunch of times. It always works.
Yeah, to me that files under "doable" and not "smooth and easy", but everyone has a personal definition of those I guess.
Yeah, I would say "easy" means its achievable wiyhout leaving the launcher, and using only the mouse / menu system.
Yea. Fair enough. I mean it takes like 10 minutes of research and then it's easy in my opinion. It's subjective haha. The important thing is you can do it without needing any crazy workarounds.
This downloads the whole game. He hardest would be waiting for download to finish for me.
Huh? That sentence doesn't make sense.
Yes it redownloads the whole game. Not a big deal.
I don't have gigabit network or a lot of disk space.
Okay well that's an issue with your setup in general. It has nothing to do with what we're talking about.
It's not adding extra data. You're replacing your game with an older version. If anything it'll use less space since newer updates add more data usage to the game usually.
Also your slow Internet is an overall issue. Then you have an issue with downloading things in general. Again, irrelevant.
Correct me if I am wrong: If you use steam console to download an old version of the game, regardless of currently installed version, steam downloads the whole game. Let's say I was on v2.1, the game received an update v2.2 and I downloaded it normally through Steam, this downloads only the difference between 2.1 and 2.2. Let's say I have 2.2, the game doesn't use the "betas" feature and I want to downgrade the game. Steam ignores the current 2.2 install and downloads 2.1 in its entirety.
Yes it downloads the whole game. But you're overwriting the old one. Hence no significant shift in disk space used.
Easy for you perhaps, but for Johnny NoThumbs and Timmy Fortnite, this would complicated
A simple GUI addition like GOG provides would be the most ideal
I completely agree.
I'm curious about your mods. I thumbed through the Nexus Mods page and couldn't find anything that looked like it'd improve my experience after two vanilla playthroughs. Any suggestions?
The body mod isn’t exactly the one I used, but to give you an idea of the mods I liked using at least.
There was also a garage mod that allowed you to tune the vehicles in the game, and a mod that makes the legendary ping hack back to its superior form from the original release before they started changing things.
Nexus Mods hosts a bunch of horny mods, and there is a toggle for it to help get the clutter out of the way. I keep it on because I think some NSFW is gore related, and I might be interested in those if they are decent enough.
The Sandevistan Mods, Autoloot and Damage Scaling was what I used to roll.
the Sandevistan one is stupid fun, I don't remember which one is it (got it from some YouTube videos). You stop time, throw granades and knives, slice through baddies then you watch everything unfold when time restores.
It's great they're still supporting the game but fake frames are of no interest to me.
For me motion clarity is so important. I love frame generation, especially if frames are getting inserted without much delay.

They really like DLSS4 over at BlurBusters https://forums.blurbusters.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=14189&p=111508&hilit=Dlss4#p111508
I also like my telenovelas. For real, im so used to it that I notice when it is not active.
I think you mean you actually like frame generation even though you seem to be jokingly comparing it to motion smoothing on a TV?
The difference as I understand it is that the frames in-between the real frame are generated by extrapolation in the Frame Generation technologies. They use one of the many flavors of AI to do this.
The TV's Motion Smoothing is interpolation (which is fine for Movies) as there is no latency to be "felt".
Frame gen is interpoplation. It does introduce latency. But nvidia has Reflex to offset some of that
Why not?
Because I like to see the art that the game artists made, not AI interpretation of what should be in-between the frames. I'm not hung up on framerate, as long as it's stable and above 30 I'm good.
I had to play Half Life at 15 fps on my Tseng video card, so you guys should have to suffer too!
Back in my day I had to commute to black mesa uphill both ways no gondola
Time to put the DLSS 4 dll into other games and see how it looks!
Run This Town - Fixed an issue where, under certain circumstances, it wasn't possible to deactivate the Aguilar imprint after meeting with Bennett.
I just ran into this and had to use the workaround a couple days ago. They have great timing.
Got this game super cheap for PS4 last November. Was super disappointed to learn that I'll never get those updates and will always have a buggy game.
I'm amazed it's still available for purchase on PS4, wasn't it taken off the stores? But yeah, attempting to play Cyberpunk on a previous gen console is... certainly brave. I can't imagine it's worth even a dollar in that state.
I thoroughly enjoy it even in this buggy state.
Come hang out and you can play it on my PC. Bring pizza.
Bugfixes are great, I care less about adding new graphic upgrades. I care a lot about them releasing more robust mod tools.
I want to be able to edit the world and new areas and content more than have the graphics modernized with cutting edge tech.
Ah so that's why the sound on TV and radio news was messed up.
Why is the dlss section at the bottom written like an ad
Because cyberpunk dev team is made up of a bunch of nvidia engineers at this point. It has been for a while now
