Most notably Cyberpunk is now the first game to have DLSS 4 and the new multi-frame generation.

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.

Why is the dlss section at the bottom written like an ad

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Because cyberpunk dev team is made up of a bunch of nvidia engineers at this point. It has been for a while now

RiP all my fucking mods again

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

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?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

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.

Body mod

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Steam allows easy roll backs as well fyi.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

It does? I remember futzing around with it last year for RDR2 and it was kinda annoying.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 18 hours ago (3 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Yeah, to me that files under "doable" and not "smooth and easy", but everyone has a personal definition of those I guess.

[–] DaCrazyJamez 4 points 16 hours ago

Yeah, I would say "easy" means its achievable wiyhout leaving the launcher, and using only the mouse / menu system.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 17 hours ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 hours ago

I completely agree.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

This downloads the whole game. He hardest would be waiting for download to finish for me.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Huh? That sentence doesn't make sense.

Yes it redownloads the whole game. Not a big deal.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 13 hours ago

I don't have gigabit network or a lot of disk space.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

It's great they're still supporting the game but fake frames are of no interest to me.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I think you mean you actually like frame generation even though you seem to be jokingly comparing it to motion smoothing on a TV?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

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".

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago

Frame gen is interpoplation. It does introduce latency. But nvidia has Reflex to offset some of that

[–] [email protected] 6 points 12 hours ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 19 hours ago

Time to put the DLSS 4 dll into other games and see how it looks!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 19 hours ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago

Come hang out and you can play it on my PC. Bring pizza.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 18 hours ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 19 hours ago

Ah so that's why the sound on TV and radio news was messed up.
