Game dosn't start after update 2.21

[GrowyDziad]

After last update game dosn't start. Launcher dosn't start.
I was thinking its my mods fault and i downloaded game again.
Without mods game (launcher) dosn't start.

HOW TO REPAIR THIS?

Did you uninstall all your mods too ? Steam don't do it for you

[dhirendrakashyap2]

thats because of mods...some of the files of mods might be still there

@Sly76
I changed Cyberpunk 2077 folder name with "backup" adnotation and i downloaded game from zero.

This patch is just borked, I have the same problem and I have NEVER modded the game in my whole life.

[GrowyDziad]

All mods files are not in game folder. Game is totaly clear, new downloaded.

They are mods in appdata too and vortex needs to be cleanse if you used it

freezing on linux during startup now!!

@sly76 What are u talking about? In appdata is only UserSettings.json and CrashInfo.json. After deleting those files - GAME STILL DOESN'T WORK.

Yeah, seems like it's not just a Windows problem.

Some mods use appdata for config files.
No idea then. Works fine on Win11 24H2

Remember, "it works on my machine" is never a solution.

The problem is not the OS. I get the same behavior on both Arch Linux and latest Windows 11 Insider Preview:
-> I get to the launcher
-> I click Play
-> The game starts
-> Intro music starts playing and the intro video starts playing
-> Game freezes and crashes to desktop
The fact that two entirely different operating systems with entirely different driver architectures experience the same problem, means that this is indeed a problem tied to something that the game developers failed to do or check properly in the code, which leads to a crash.

My game launches and I can load old saves but none of my mods are being used. Launching from Vortex, checked that all mods are updated but in game it is like I never modded anything.

The problem is tied to frame generation. If you delete UserSettings.json and restart the game, it works. The moment you enable frame generation and restart the game it crashes again.
