So new patch dropped last night. The patch notes is quite long, so these are the points that stood out most to me.
It fixed a lot of bugs I was having, like having my heal item removing from its slot whenever I use a consumable. It even added some nice small features like the ability to have your music continue playing after you exit a vehicle or not. I tested this feature out and it works perfectly, exactly how I would want it to.
With the option enabled, if you are playing music, enter a vehicle, the music will play on the radio and continue playing after you leave. Now it also works realistically, if you have the radio on in a vehicle, it will turn on every time you enter it, and turn off as you exit the vehicle, and same thing if the radio is off in the vehicle it will remain off when you enter it. Very small touch but very welcome.
They also improved driving a bit by adding a new weight model to the driving simulation as far as I understand it. Bikes do feel a bit better, and some cars handle very slightly better than before, but overall they are still a tad bit slidey like they are on ice.
Another thing was some performance improvements and an option to utilize all P-cores but I didn’t get that option, presumably because it may be for Intel CPUs only, and there is already a similar option for AMD multi-threading.
They also did general performance boosts all across the game, and while it’s no miracle 120fps+ boost, it does seem to have made the game slightly smoother overall. I would have hitches and stutters and sometimes the audio would sound extra crunchy, but now it seems to have smoothed most of those out.
Lastly, they added the ability to do a color swap on Rayfield vehicles only. Hopefully that means other vehicles will follow, which means more patches, and that makes me happy 😊
EDIT: I forgot to add one more thing, they reduced max cyberware capacity to 450, which I have no idea what mine was at before the patch, but it automatically unequipped a lot of my cyberware. I had to run to a ripperdoc as soon as I found out to re add them, and it barely raised into my overclock range so I’m good.
EDIT 2: I keep forgetting to mention things. I recommend not to turn on the new option to change radio station with a press of a button. Good idea in theory, but it uses the radio button meaning you can’t hit it to easily turn off the radio with that option enabled, you have to hold it to open the radio then select “NONE” to turn it off. Wish we could rebind the change station button. Just a very slight inconvenience.
