Takemura phone call STUCK! "Down on street" mission

[Maximillion]

So I answer takumura phone call and he does not speak. This means you cannot save your game, start a new mission or interact with certain things. You are actually stuck. What is the solution to this?

This bug is introduced by patch 1.1. Load an earlier save and end your conversation with Takemura completely when you leave Wakako.

Yeah this is a tough break here for sure.

Loading an earlier save doesn't really fix the issue, but makes the workaround easier. If you however don't want to lose your progress, there is a solution where you don't need to load a save before Down the street. Especially if you don't have one.

Here is a working solution:
1. Look on your quick / autosaves. One of them should be at one point where you are in the middle of a (side) mission, gig or something like that. In such occasions, Takemura won't call you directly, and you will be able to save. You may need to check a couple of saves, but hopefully, one of the recent ones will work. Save. Fast-forward 24 hours. Save. Exit the game and load your save. Finish the mission (gig, whatever). Afterwards, Takemura will properly call you and this time, he will tell you what you want. The issue is, Takemura will call you again soon after, freezing in call again. This is where part 2 comes in.
2. At this point, you cannot save. A solution is to go to a place where you would get a videocall from someone. This will kick Takemura out, at least for the moment. The easiest solution is to go to the Cyberpsycho sighting: Second chances, which is the eastmost mission on the map. Driver there and try not to die, as you cannot save. When you arrive at the place, you will get a call from Regina, and the side mission activates. Make sure you don't enter combat directly. Speak with Regina, this kicks Takemura out of the call. Save. Fast-forward 24 hours. Save. Exit the game and then after you restart, load you save. finish off the cyberpsycho. Afterwards, Takemura will call again (the second time), but now, his call will work.

pcgamer could have check. This bug was present to a lesser extent earlier too, alongside with the workaround.

Try my method:

Reload to before meeting Wakako with Takemura, go outside and talk to him, then skip a day (or 2 days) immediately (don't do any main job or side job), then go outside jig jig street. Takemura will call and talk normally.

So I tried all the above. nothing worked. I got out of the game and quit, cybperpunk downloaded a 1 GB file and I waited for it to be done and installed. Went back into the game, loaded like normal and it worked. Problem must be fixed now!
