When i tested it on i7-2600K

My CPU usage only in between 45-60%

Looks like my suspicions of AMD issues may be confirmed... Found this on reddit

Here's a bit of background. Back when AMD used to sell FX series CPUs, they have come under fire for mismarketing their products. The issue was that their "8-core" CPUs is very misleading and should've been marketed as 4-core 8 thread CPUs, or 4-core with hyperthreading CPUs. Same with other core count variations. The other issue was that they tried to hide the fact from software, which meant that when programs tried to check how many cores and threads the CPU has, it would misreport as having "8-cores 8-threads" instead of "4-cores 8-threads" (assuming our "8-core" CPU example). However, AMD remedied the issue on the Ryzen series CPUs.

...

The new code calculates the number of threads by checking the reported thread count. Then it would check if an AMD CPU is installed. If an AMD CPU is installed, it would then check if a FX CPU is installed. If it's both an AMD and FX, it would use the thread count that the CPU reports (which is identical to Intel, despite FX CPUs misreporting) If it's an AMD CPU, but not a FX CPU (so CPUs like Ryzen), it use the reported core count to count the number of threads (which is also incorrect because Ryzen properly reports thread count if I am correct). So on the new code, if a 4-core 8-thread Intel CPU is installed, then it would report "8" as the number of threads. if a 4-core 8-thread AMD Ryzen CPU is installed, then it would report "4" as the number of threads. If an "8-core" AMD FX CPU is installed, it would report "8" as the number of threads.

TLDR: There's a check in the EXE that causes AMD CPUs to only use half available threads. So a 6 core 12 thread CPU will only use 6 threads.

The solution:

Open the Cyberpunk.exe with HXD (Hex Editor).

Look for

75 30 33 C9 B8 01 00 00 00 0F A2 8B C8 C1 F9 08

change to

EB 30 33 C9 B8 01 00 00 00 0F A2 8B C8 C1 F9 08

(Address 02A816B0)

I'll try this later today. People report that their overall FPS doesn't change, but their minimum went up. This goes exactly in line with the issues I've been having - only certain areas are bottoming out, like outside the apartment.

Update:



60 FPS up from 40, GPU% 92% instead of 50%

Yep, my CPU utilization is now around 85-90. FPS improvement in front of the apartments is not as significant as others, but this is more likely due to me playing at 1440p vs 1080p.

Will play and see if I still notice those frame drops when driving around the city.

[Ch28]

I'm running a Ryzen 5 3600 with Radeon 5600 XT and consistently get 60+ FPS based on what the Radeon software is telling me.

We cyberpunk hacking for real now, choombas.

i was reading this game isn't too bad on stadia (probably via hard wired connection)

[ime2006]

Now, i am settled with 1440P, MAX setting, DLSS set to Quality.
Getting constant 50-70 FPS.

Now, i can enjoy the game.


For AMD CPUs, Just saw this on google. (Should be the same fix from Skinny's post.)
Reddit's patch for Cyberpunk 2077 yields double-digit performance gains on AMD CPUs

[SkinnyPupp]

Some more h4x to maybe get more performance. I quickly tried it, and now it's 60-70 fps in front of the apartment, combined with the AMD SMT fix (up from 40 fps)

Driving seems smoother, staying above 60 fps most of the time, but it did dip a few times.

I didn't do back to back comparisons though, so it might not do a thing

[ime2006]

This is exactly how i feel right now...

I played the game on stadia and was surprised at how good it was. It lagged at certain areas but was totally playable. returned it due to me actually enjoying watching streams vs actually playing the game though but would recommend it to people that don't have higher end spec cpus

[SkinnyPupp]

OpenCritic adds a warning to their CyberPunk review, about how CDPR manipulated the review system to give the game a high score by hiding the console version from reviewers before the game came out.

Twitter

CDPR admits they know they game was not finished, allows mass refunds. Sony apparently are not accepting these refunds so you have to try to do it directly with them

Not sure if anyone else here is using an AMD card, but the hair and shadows at night were extremely blurry for me no matter what setting I used. The meshes on the cars made them actually look fuzzy. Apparently screen space reflections is bugged/poorly optimized for AMD GPUs. Turning it off made the game so much more clearer. Don't think this applies to RTX cards though.

[Vansterdam]

fyi u can get this game on PC for like 34$ if u set ur VPN to Russia and buy off GOG lol

donno if it still works but https://forums.redflagdeals.com/gogc...34cad-2407316/

[ilovebacon]

For all those ps4 and xbox users, are you guys planning on getting a refund? I feel like giving them a chance since they announce that they would patch it up again in FEB.

You can always buy it again in February.

CDPR issued that refund statement without even consulting Microsoft or Sony. Explains why so many people are complaining that their refunds got denied

[SkinnyPupp]

Anyone know of a cheat to bypass the shitty hacking minigame?

[SkinnyPupp]

Typical Cyberpunk screenshot. Quest requires me to phone the NPC with info. The only choice is to hang up on them.

Edit: Unlike other quests throughout the game, you have to use text messaging with this quest

[Razor Ramon HG]

All the cyberpsycho ones are like that. Took me a while to figure out what was going on. Have to find the shards and then text her using the phone.

[SkinnyPupp]

Yeah the game is so buggy all I could do was assume it was another one

I have to restart the game occasionally, because guns literally stop working.

For the can't-pull-out-guns bug, go visit a joytoy. They'll help you clear your jammed guns.

(No really, for some reason visiting a joytoy and doing the thing fixes that bug.)

[SkinnyPupp]

I can pull the guns out, they just don't shoot. Although sometimes they shoot in hipfire but not aim down sights. But sometimes they ONLY shoot in aim down sight, and not hipfire. And sometimes it's only one gun, sometimes it's all of them. Restarting the game fixes it
