Okay I'm a bit drunk so bear with me ;) Game just hit epic status for me, for all the wrong but perfectly awesome reasons...

... I just hit a BSoD - seriously. I haven't seen that screen in like 20 years - watching my memory dump to cache - in 2 seconds (used to take forever!) was like fingertip kiss priceless. Funny enough, right before a Braindance - that screen was like a Braindance down memory lane for me.

The old blocky white pixelated text, the monochrome blue screen - everything - it was like rolling back the clock decades - I was back in MSDos or Xp or something from another time.


Never have I loved a crash so much - like nostalgia and perfection rolled into one especially for the type of game it is.

Just thought I'd share before I jumped back in - wish me luck!

Geforce GTX 1060 does not support raytracing fyi ;)

Nvidia had a 6 GiB VRAM 1060 variant (technically 3 GiB was an afterthought). But that by itself doesn't mean much as various implementations (different models with same chip) behave differently and have slightly different clocks (thus stability).

If this game needs admin right for WHATEVER reason then you can bypass that by modifying file permissions on game folder in regards to your system user (non admin one).

I wouldn't neccesarily call a CPU supporting 12 year old (available for 9) technology "a big feature" :P
But yeah. This game appears to be using original AVX.

Well that will eventually drag you down someday. It definitely has impact on game loading times, texture streaming potential issues and other stuff.
As well as workflow speed and responsivness, especially on Windows.

Haha, funny :P Don't jinx it :P (you know, "TICKING" of HDD is either "failure already happened" or "failure imminent" kind of sign, but I get the language merits in your message and altered meaning of them)

Which controller? (it would be beneficial to know how it behaves with different ones)

Which version.
Could we like, I don't know, COLLECTIVELY erect a summary high standards (ergo: LOTS of details) thread dedicated to specificly that - CP2077 on Linux - test results (IN EXTREME DETAILS) that is?

I hv RX 590. I would gladly test this game if I would own it :P But sadly I don't and my finances don't allow me to have it atm :P

I would appreciate if random people worldwide on the global network would stop being all "I hv issues because of my CPU, here's model".
AT LEAST ADD FREQUENCY, if not further details (such as vcore since it has ACTUAL impact on STABILITY).
It's not like majority of CPUs currently used have locked multiplier and BCLK.
IPC is not everything. It is more or less directly tied to CPU's calculation speed. So frequency DOES MATTER and DOES have impact on PERFORMANCE.
So before any of you post in a way of "my CPU sucks" - at least post your used frequency (and or it's range if CBR / whatever-is-the-current-"BOOST-NAME"-for-Intel is used).

This REALLY DOES seem like a rushed release with close to no QA :S

Ah! A timeless classic :P /s

Had a brief look at that article (tho I wouldn't call TS a "reputable source" by ANY means).
It's pretty hilarious - I hv bulldozer system in the very same room as my current 2700X setup - to think it could be better in some way is really stupidly silly.
The article in question is worded rather poorly (I say it as a person that is rather highly technical).
But it gives me 2 impressions:
1.The whole thing could probably get bypassed by simply spoofing CPU id.
2."The hex fix" could likely work better on Linux under Wine since Linux has completely different CPU scheduling rules (AND that can be tweaked too).

Well considering that raytracing for AMD hardware is "coming later" I would say CDPR just completely neglected AMD users.
Talk about bias.

This game reminds me the release of the PC port of Batman Arkham Knight back in 2015.
With the time They fixed the game, but the initial release was a technical disaster.
The Linux port was cancelled and the game was removed from the Steam catalogue for some time.


I prefer to wait until the middle of next year for to buy this game.

Let the betatesters do the dirty job.

Looks like the game can be run on a potato after all .

Our Commitment to Quality

"CD PROJEKT’s co-founder’s personal explanation of what the days leading up to the launch of Cyberpunk 2077 looked like, sharing the studio’s perspective on what happened with the game on old-generation consoles.

Let me just remind you all: CD Projekt are all liars.

No. The game is still a technical disaster.

I forgive you CDPR ... The lie still hurts. But for making a PC game and not a fucking console port, I give you credit.

Ich verzeihe euch CDPR ... Die Lüge schmerzt noch. Aber dass ihr ein PC-Spiel machen mochtet, und keinen beschissenenen Konsolenport, rechne ich euch hoch an.

Well, I don't personally play the game (and seeing how ridiculously BAD technical-state-wise it is atm I don't plan on playing it for a LONG time) but from my perspective the state of the game represents somewhere around alpha version development stage.
It's beyond bad.
I cannot fathom how did this allegedly pass QA at all.

Schreier at it again:
Inside Cyberpunk 2077's Disastrous Rollout

Much ado about nothing resp. things we already knew, not to mention click-baity as fuck, as is the usual with this guy.
Cheers for linking an archived article.

Of course the 2018 demo was all prefabricated and staged, all gameplay demos are. They aren't also called a "vertical slice" for nothing.

I can see CDPRED doing an "enhanced edition" sort of hard relaunch, once the "ironing out" with the announced big patches and updates is done. It's the only way they could still get the 90+ score they've and I guess they're still so desperately craving for.

Looking at GlassDoor and what happened behind the scene of the other games they've made also, it really seems like the CEOs and the upper management should find something else to do.

https://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/CD-PROJEKT-RED-Reviews-E644250.htm

Constantly switching devs with poor communication and documentation skills are just 1 of 100 things you should never do when developing a game (or any product, digital or real).

Like BeatEmUps sings:

"CD Projekt are all Liars,
And yes I'm snitching, since my world keeps glitching.
CD Projekt are all Liars,
Oops it just imploded, guess we must reload it.

Like a Marathon,
It will still glitch on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on"

With an environment as glitchy as that it's no wonder the game is also like that.
