CD Projekt have released the full patch notes forCyberpunk 2077’s2.01 update, which as you might recall, stops people tumbling through certain elevator floors when the frame-rate drops. Out now on PC, the update spans many other technical fixes and improvements, some of them specific to the recently releasedCyberpunk 2077: Phantom LibertyDLC.

Balls to the Wall - When talking to Paco, repeating the blue dialogue option from the Corpo lifepath will no longer block progress.

Firestarter - Fixed an issue that could cause V to get stuck in the wall or roof after performing a Finisher on Kurt Hansen.

Moving Heat

  • Fixed an issue that could cause all traffic to disappear after completing the quest.

  • Fixed an issue where triggering combat in the garage in specific scenarios could cause various disruptions to quest flow.

  • New Person, Same Old Mistakes - Fixed an issue where the gate to Bill’s hot dog stand was closed.

Somewhat Damaged

  • Fixed an issue preventing the player from scanning the Neural Network system.

  • Various fixes for devices in the bunker.

  • The Killing Moon - Fixed an issue that caused the doors leading to the shuttle to not open.

You Know My Name

  • Fixed an issue where V could remain connected to the sniper nest, blocking quest progress, after repeatedly switching cameras at the end of the sequence.

  • Reed will now wear his party outfit during the dialogue with Songbird.

And here are a fewCyberpunk 2077tweaks that are just for PC players, you jammy devils.

  • Fixed an issue where the UI could show controller inputs when playing on keyboard and mouse.

  • Players unable to get achievements due to an issue that prevented Phantom Liberty achievements from unlocking on PC before a backend fix implemented on the day of the release will have them retroactively unlocked on GOG and Steam after loading a save from that playthrough. For the Epic Games Store, the issue is still under investigation.

  • Fixed an issue where, after installing Update 2.0 but not the expansion on GOG, a pop-up saying - “Phantom Liberty downloaded - please return to the main menu to access new content” could appear in the in-game menu.

  • Improved image quality of DLSS Ray Reconstruction in the Ultra Performance setting.

  • Addressed an issue where some phone calls necessary to continue the main story began with a delay.

  • Various visual fixes for animations, lighting, scenes, VFX, and more.

  • Performance improvements for both PC and consoles, especially in the Dogtown area.

The PC and Phantom Liberty-focused stuff aside, the update offers many tweaks and fixes for older Cyberpunk 2077 quests and various gameplay and open world systems. Amongst other things, installing the update will stop Jackie throwing a mysterious tantrum and going off to sulk at the noodle stand when he should be driving you to the Ripperdoc. Nor, hopefully, will you see any haunted burned-out cop cars roving Night City once you’re up to date.

In less frivolous news, the update makes “several improvements and changes” to the game’s Ukrainian localisation, “including fixes for lines where the translation lost its original meaning”.

This refers to the discovery that theCyberpunk 2077 2.0 update’s new Ukrainian dialogue and menu textcontained some rather hostile references to Russians, which were apparently the work of a localisation studio in Kyiv. CD Projektapologised for their inclusionshortly after the changes came to light, while reaffirming their support for Ukraine in the face of the on-going Russian invasion.
