The launch that was Cyberpunk 2077 continues to be one of the most controversial even with the pretense for bugs to be present upon release – just not to this magnitude. Of course, the last-generation versions remain to be the worst port of entry for fans currently, but the team scheduled to inject game-fixing patches. The two major clients are said to arrive in January and February, per an apology video recently uploaded by the developer.
And this past Friday the patch finally shipped. Patch 1.1 was said to offer a handful of resolutions and other adjustments to level out the imbalances in Cyberpunk 2077. However, while some of that is true, more problems surfaces elsewhere. Primarily, mission “Down on the Street” was told to be fixed with Arasaka heavy Takemura to call V to initiate the mission. But the problem is still present as Takemura does not call and refrains players from progressing.
Given that other problems are still left unsolved currently, this one hurdle is considered game breaking with fans unable to advanced through the game’s story. Thankfully CD Projekt Red issued a potential “workaround” that is said to fix the problem at hand.
For a potential workaround follow the steps below (note, an earlier gamesave is required):
-Load a gamesave before Takemura and V leave Wakako’s office.
-Finish the conversation with Takemura outside the office right away.
-Right after the finished conversation and when the quest was updated, skip 23h.
-See if the holocall triggers and the dialogue with Takemura starts.
Additionally, CD Projekt Red listed the myriad of fixes that are to be found in Patch 1.1. Elements such as memory restrain on certain platforms, bugged achievements, mission objective hiccups, and crashing have all been listed in the patch notes for the recent update.
While CD Projekt Red continues to repair the damage done by Cyberpunk 2077, the team faces issues in the courts. Around the same time, a second class-action lawsuit has been filed against the Polish developer by the state government of California. You can read the full report by heading here.
