The latest update for Cyberpunk 2077 is out and brings a healthy bunch of new fixes and features to the game. Patch 2.11 was rolled out on all available platforms and targets some of the common issues players have been facing in the game as of late. That includes fixes to make previously glitching melee finishers work and keep health items in your quick access after using consumables instead of unequipping them. There’s also plenty more to be seen in the full notes.

Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 2.11 notes

CD Projekt RED rolled out Cyberpunk 2077’s Patch 2.11 update and its accompanying notes this week. Some of the big headliners include fixes to make sure melee finishers are working properly. Now, you should be able to viscerally finish off your foes up close and personal without the animations glitching. Another fix includes squashing a bug that was unequipping health items from quick access slots when consumables were used. For the fans of Rayfield vehicles, there’s now an option to get a “CrystalCoat feature” which lets you change the paint color of the cars. You can see the full patch notes just below for more details on what was adjusted.

UI

• Added a Radioport category in Settings → Gameplay to customize Radioport behavior. Enable "Sync to Vehicle Radio" to keep the music playing after exiting a vehicle. With "Cycle Stations with Button Press", effortlessly switch between radio stations by simply pressing the Radioport button without the need to open the Radio menu. Enable "Save Current Station" to have the Radioport resume playing the radio station upon loading a saved game.

• Like the non-Iconic variants, Iconic quickhacks will no longer have the duration displayed in their descriptions.
• Made small improvements to the appearance of Net sites.

Visual

Vehicles

• Tire track marks will now match the actual contact patch of the tire.

• Motorcycle suspension has been improved to reduce visual clipping into roads and curbs. Braking is also improved. Some vehicles, including cars and trucks, will now better handle landing from big jumps.
• Brake Torque Vectoring has been added to the Drive Model simulation. This change effectively reduces understeer on vehicles that previously used to suffer from it excessively when hard braking while turning (most noticeable on FWD and rear/mid-engined vehicles).
• Retuned or improved tuning in various vehicles. This includes: Mizutani Hozuki MH1, MH2 and “Hoseki”, Villefort Deleon V400, V410 Coupe and "Vindicator", Thorton Colby CST40, Mahir Supron FS3-T, Chevillon Centurion 1000, Quadra Type 66 “Hoon”, and more.

PC-specific

• Added a Hybrid CPU Utilization setting, which can be found under Gameplay → Performance. It can be set either to "Auto" (lets the operating system automatically decide how to distribute threads among the cores) or "Prioritize P-Cores" (prioritizes performance cores). It is set to "Auto" by default.
• Implemented a fix that improves performance, especially on AMD RX Vega GPUs.

Misc

• Added the CrystalCoat feature which allows you to change vehicle paint color. Because this technology was developed exclusively by Rayfield, it is currently only available for Rayfield vehicles you own.
• Controller Inner Dead Zone has been changed to new default values for players who didn't change them, as keeping the old default values could result in stick drift.
• Fixed an issue where the door in the Megabuilding H10 apartment wouldn't automatically close in some cases.

REDmod

• Updated the address list for modders.

That covers the entirety of Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 2.11. Be sure to follow our other Cyberpunk 2077 coverage for more news, guides, and updates.
