About performance and memory leak of patch 1.3
Those of you who have played (tested), can you tell us if this has been fixed or improved? I uninstalled the game months ago and would like to play it again if it's worth it.

Thanks you.

As long as you play on a GPU with at least 8gb of vram you won't have any leak.
Tested it on a r7 5800x / 3060ti on high/epic settings on 21:9 1080p with DLSS 310.2.1.0 set on Quality and averaging 60fps, and on a GTX 1660 (6Gb of vram), medium settings (low texture) 21:9 1080p TSR 50% 50/60fps .
Performance got slightly better compared to the release day.
It's playable right now so give it a try, you can always refund if it doesn't satisfy you.
The thread left a few pages old, but I've been reading quite a few comments here and on Discord. Basically, we're still the same. The optimization is still poor, and I only found a few comments saying they were still experiencing memory leaks. This is in addition to the infamous new bugs after fixing other things, like some texture glitches that seem to be occurring. The crashes also seem to continue, although less frequently

There are also no significant changes to the gameplay. The "A-life" remains the same. The AI ​​of the human enemies is the same. No additions to the zone to make it more interesting and less empty.

This is clearly Cyberpunk 2077 case. This game will be worth playing in over a year.

See you in a year than,Bucko!
If you have any problems delete the Shader Cache's trough your Nvidia/AMD/Intel Graphics Controll Pannel, and trough Windows Disk Clean (DirecX Schader Cache)

I did so, and game got a lot more stable.
i have 16gb gpu mem and 32 ram mem and my ram usage goes up to 31.2 gb before patch and now it went to 22.4 gb og usage

after 1.3 patch while the game is running memory in task manager is constant 99% of 32 Gb of RAM and freezes after 5 mins.
Performance with this update felt somewhere between "same" and "very slightly better" to me.

Memory leak is still there. 32gb of ram and it eventually freezes the game once the usage hits 100%

thats not how mem leaks work you got other problems

a mem leak builds over time 30mins+ maybe even hours as it slowly builds and causes instability

That not a memory leak,
¨¨A memory leak occurs when a computer program incorrectly manages memory allocations, failing to release memory that is no longer needed, leading to a gradual increase in memory usage and potential performance issues¨¨

That something else.

I have an ROG RTX 3090 and it was happening to me yesterday and today
Have any of you tried using this programme "Intelligent standby list cleaner ISLC"
Try it see if it helps.
