Wow!! What is with the 'bonus content' ??

[derelict]

I just purchased and installed Steam version of CP2077 with Phantom Liberty... it also installed something called Bonus Content, with a separate desktop icon. I didn't actually know what that was, so I ran it...

Well, that was an adventure!! It did not create any taskbar icon, nor any other indication of what program/process was running, but it started playing music on my computer at *SUPER LOUD* volume!!! This is with the game itself not running... I couldn't find any running process that looked like it was from this program, and I couldn't find any way to stop the music!!!

I ultimately rebooted my machine, which solved the immediate problem, and then deleted the desktop icon, though it is still in the Programs:Steam folder... so how was I supposed to turn this 'bonus content' off, with no visible UI ??

Okay, I figured out what is going on...
First, the Cyberpunk 2077 Bonus Content has its own page in the Steam Library - but that page is not listed under the Library directory...
Instead, I have to first go to the main Cyberpunk 2077 page, then select Cyberpunk 2077 Bonus Content from there...
That takes me to another page where there is the player for the audio files... I cannot actually *stop* the player, but I can pause it, which is good enough, I guess.
Anyway, clicking on the Bonus Content link (from desktop or programs menu) just begins playing the audio in this Steam player - but does *not* actually set the Steam display to this page, so user has no idea this is going on... a little obtuse, but I've got it now.

I think they broke this in some fashion with Phantom Liberty's install. Used to be the bonus content folder was just there in the install directory but now it's gone, no clue where that content went.

Never mind I found it. They changed the directory for the content.

Used to be you'd find it in the standard Cyberpunk install folder.

Now they've gone and stuck it in the MUSIC folder in steamapps. Because that's definitely a folder people totally use.

It seems the entire Bonus Content DLC now counts as a Steam Soundtrack instead of a DLC, so it doesn't show up as DLC like it used to. Now it's stuck in the Music folder, where I didn't even think of looking until I read your post. Thanks for the help!

As the folks mentioned, this is indeed inside the music folder in steamapps, but the price we paid was bigger than I thought.

I had found the original folder recently, and to my surprised, the OST was all there, in glorious HI-FI .wav files, the way that they were meant to be listened, in their full glory that they were conceived.

However, it seems that there are only .mp3 files now, which makes them no better than your standard Spotify experience. Sadness is the only feeling left.

I'm not sure if this is a fix, but if you open Steam>settings down at the bottom of the settings menu there is a Music option. There is a toggle switch there for "Download high quality audio files"

Also, if you click the desktop link to play a soundtrack and can't find the controls. You can open steam and find a purple music icon at the top right of the steam window. to the left of your account icon and the notifications button. I discovered this when I accidentally started playing the Transistor soundtrack
You can view all downloaded soundtracks by changing the game filter options to not show games and show soundtracks instead.
