Welcome to night city cutscene is bugged out

[aShadowWizard]

When I start a new character, the cutscene where V and Jackie's life fast fowards after the intro mission (i.e Nomad V crossing the board, The phony arrest, and V getting fired) is bugged out and Jackie and V will just be T-posing and V's Camera/Head will be on the ground

Edit: Forgot to mention I have tried reinstalling & validating files

Assuming you're not at minimum specs and lowest settings already, turn off any background apps and turn your game settings down.

Could add to the problem, yeah. But playing with settings and having game on an SSD, if possible, should see you to a point where it's not looking an absolute mess.

Curious. It's a symptom of the game engine being unable to stream in everything required (eg animations) which is very usually a result of dialling settings higher than your system can manage. What are your specs and settings? There could be something else going on but there's no bug there in the game...

I personally don't have that problem, but I did saw a streamer who did. It was hilarious.

I can't say what might fix it, other than trying to verify Steam files. Or try going into GAMEPLAY and try the HDD modes as both ON and OFF and see if it helps.
