empty street

[Gustav]

crowd density set to high. everywhere i go the streets look so empty with only 1 or 2 car passing by.

seems like cdpr wanna hide this game's traffic with making it less and empty.
patch by patch the world element in this game becoming worse. they are too ambitious to deliver us a good open world game but still couldnt develop a few basics thing in a open world genre.

You'll have a lot of traffic and crowds in downtown for example. In Pacifica on the other hand it is almost always empty.

If you're modding, check the settings for Cyber Engine Tweaks, he added an option to cull crowds and traffic.

I'm having the same experience with 1.1. I left my car sitting in an intersection in Santa Domingo for 10 minutes and had 1 car approach me. Something broke hard with this update and I'm not sure why more people aren't discussing it...

i9 9900k, 64 GB ram, 1 TB NVMe (Both OS + Game install), Crowd Density and LOD set to high. There's no reason for me to have issues streaming in game assets and 1.06 was fine.

Empty streets = corvid street simulator

Yeah NPCs are awful at despawning too. If I walk into a crowd of 20 people, with 10 people in front of me, and 10 behind me, and then I do a 180 degree turn, the 10 behind me will despawn. If I do another 180 turn, the other 10 will despawn.

I was enjoying the story and graphics to be honest, but the pathfinding and NPC despawning makes this game unplayable to me.

I found two reddit threads expressing the same experience with 1.1.

Looks like CDPR optimized traffic memory usage by basically removing it... Not sure why this had to be done on PC... So fewer cars on the road and less diversity between them. I guess we'll have to wait for a mod to fix this. I think this flipped me from they'll fix it to team pull out a pitch fork and join the mob.

Downtown at ~5pm is the only time I get any significant traffic and it doesn't feel as heavy as it did in 1.06. Everywhere else is a ghost town.

I'm reinstalling 1.06 atm to contrast my experience with 1.1.
