CD Projekt has officially rolled out Patch 2.02 for Cyberpunk 2077 and its Phantom Liberty expansion. The patch is available across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S platforms. It addresses a host of quest and gameplay issues, particularly those concerning timers in courier missions in the Phantom Liberty expansion. Phantom Liberty-Specific Fixes Rebalancing Time Limits for Vehicle Contracts One of the main highlights of Patch 2.02 is the rebalancing of time limits for vehicle contracts in the Phantom Liberty expansion. Previously, players often found that the time limits set for driving a car out of the new Dog Town area were disproportionately short, leading to frustrating experiences. Animation, Lighting, Scenes, and VFX Fixes The patch also incorporates various technical improvements, notably correcting several animation, lighting, scene, and visual effects issues that players had reported. Collision and Object Interaction Problems related to collisions in specific locations that could result in players getting stuck have been addressed. This enhances the overall gameplay experience by removing such obstacles. Quest Journal Updates When starting a new game and skipping ahead to the Phantom Liberty expansion, quests that were previously marked as completed will now be visible in the player’s Journal. This is a welcome change for players who want to keep track of their in-game achievements. Quest and Open World Fixes Fixed Quadra Type-66 "Wingate" Visibility Issue In the broader context of the game, the patch fixes an issue where the Quadra Type-66 "Wingate" car was not visible in the Call Vehicle menu after being purchased. Trauma Team Website and Johnny’s Appearance Additionally, the Trauma Team website will now be accessible on V's computer when the "Killing in the Name" quest is active. The issue of Johnny appearing prematurely has also been resolved. Gameplay Enhancements Weapons Stat Rebalancing Patch 2.02 introduces several changes to weapon stats. The Malorian Arms 3516, for instance, received a buff to its recoil and damage based on player feedback. Crafting Specs and Skill Shards Changes have also been made to the crafting specs for Iconic weapons and the availability and pricing of Tier 5 Skill Shards, adding another layer of depth to the game’s crafting system. Platform-Specific Changes PC For PC players, the patch introduces a mechanism for detecting mismatched or corrupted scripts caused by outdated mods or file corruption, which will help in reducing game crashes. Console On consoles, the internal buffer size for save data has been increased to 15MiB, and the saving process has been refactored to prevent save corruption. Miscellaneous The patch wraps up with various optimizations and performance improvements, including but not limited to, fixed glitches on animations and corrections on achievements unlocking conditions. Final Thoughts The release of Patch 2.02 for Cyberpunk 2077 and its Phantom Liberty expansion marks a significant step towards optimizing the gameplay experience across multiple platforms. While it does not resolve every issue, it certainly addresses some of the most glaring ones, offering players a smoother, more enjoyable journey through Night City. Also Read:
