Any planned hotfixes or patches to fix flatlining on launch on 1.62?

[Unlucky1307]

EDIT: As of 1.63 it's finally working again without having to roll back to a previous patch. It required updating and then checking file integrity, but it works again. Would be nice if CDPR had acknowledged the issue back in April when it started and fixed it sooner, but better late than never. This just cements my thought that I should make sure the game actually works on the phantom liberty launch and refuse to preorder it.

I've had to deal with Steam's less than stellar system for rolling back patches to play the game at all since the ray tracing patch recently.

No patch activity from the devs since April 20th hotfix, I didn't mod, tried a reinstall, fully cleaned out all old files, etc. I'm fine running on the older patch for now, but the radio silence from devs when a lot of us have vocalized this issue makes me fear that the game is just never going to work again on newer patches with my hardware and I shouldn't buy the DLC when it comes out to avoid my game being bricked again.

Have I missed any info or news posts from CDPR regarding a proper fix for the game crashing on launch on the latest patch? Or is my line of thinking correct in just avoiding the DLC and keeping the game on an older patch so it actually runs?

When do the crashes happen for you?

Whenever I try to make a new character I flatline, but I can load old saves and play fine.

Sigh, same here. Even bought the game when it launches and by the time I play a couple hours without any problem, continues today then I get high frequently crashes under 5 minutes game play

We know nothing. We don't even know if CDPR are aware of the problems, let alone if they are attempting to solve them.

I heard that if you don't update your windows and drivers it can cause problems.

I attempted running all updates, even checked manually for any newer drivers on my laptop manufacturer's website with no luck after all updates.

For me when I run 1.62 it crashes immediately when I attempt to launch, whether that's via the game launcher or via the .exe file directly. Couldn't even get to the title screen before I rolled back to 1.61, I spent a week doing every possible thing I could think of to fix it for 1.62 short of a full Windows reinstallation.

I have laptop with 3 years old driver update, Cyberpunk works fine before 1.62 and after.
It's not the driver update, of course sometimes It could help, but simply is their 1.62 update that is bugged.
While in my new gaming PC, Cyberpunk was working super good with 1.61, after 1.62 flatline at every launch, cannot start (tried every possible solution, still doesn't work)

I'm not sure a complete windows reinstall could fix this problem, It's just a bug after 1.62 update, that with some systems cause the crash, still don't understand why,
I have this bug, like some other people in discussions too.
Cyberpunk sadly is the only game that has this problem in my library, so just let's wait when they will fix it, because It's obvious that this bug comes with the update since there are many people that can't play without crashing.
Cyberpunk 2077 is my favorite game, so I hope they will fix this soon!

I know this isn't a proper solution, but does it do that if you make a new game and load THAT save file?
If so, rolling back with steam's console to a prior patch might be your best option to continue existing saves, or you can play a new character until CDPR eventually fixes it... Hopefully.

Thanks. Will try that and update if it works

Here's some instructions I grabbed from elsewhere that worked for me:

1st : open steam > Win+R = steam://open/console
2nd : write download_depot 1091500 1091501 5482504662439830481
3rd : wait for download (Check Task Manager If your Network is downloading just to make sure steam is downloading the update)
4rd : Delete the Actual game and Drag Drop the content from : \Steam\steamapps\content to your actual Cyberpunk 2077 Directory.
5th : disable update by clicking on cyberpunk 2077 in your library > properties > Switch Always keep this game updated to Only update this game when I launch it.

This is the only reason I've been able to play the game at all, but it's absolutely unacceptable as a permanent solution since it likely won't work with the DLC when it drops.

Hey man, I followed all your steps but to no avail. I found out i could actually play the game when i created a new game file which sucks. Seems like all my save files are corrupted. man...... Thank you for your effort in helping me tho.

No problem, figured I'd at least share what got it running for me in case it was the patch that caused issues for you. Save corruption sucks, at least it's a good excuse to replay the game with a new character style.

even when i disable mods, and Redmod, i'm getting the same crash due to a corrupted or missing script. i've uninstalled and reinstalled twice. nothing works.

Sounds like you need to find the " hidden " files that mods install. Disabling does not remove the effects the" hidden " files produce. Either the mods need to be updated or delete both the mods and these " hidden" files. This topic has been done multiple times.
