Cyberpunk 2077's next patch promises to fix the 'Johnny vision' bug and other in-game headaches
Phantom Liberty and the 2.0 overhaul are the last «big updates» to Cyberpunk 2077, but that doesn't mean CD Projekt is quite finished with it. The studio announced today that the 2.01 update is in the works, with fixes for a number of big issues still plaguing the game.
One of the biggest fixes in the update is the "Johnny vision" bug encountered by Senior Editor Wes Fenlon, which causes the player's entire field of vision to continuously pulse with a glitchy blue effect that normally signifies Johnny Silverhand's entry into a conversation—but just never stops when the bug occurs. Fortunately, the FX Begone mod eliminates it, but the upcoming patch promises to do away with it completely.
Unfortunately the patch announcement does not make any mention of the bug that halts progress in the Violence quest, in which Lizzy Wizzy sends V out to spy on her manager, but CD Projekt said the 2.01 patch announcement only includes «highlights,» and that there will be other fixes and improvements as well. Fingers crossed for all you Violence-doers out there.
The patch also promises overall performance improvements on both PC and console, and PlayStation owners may particularly appreciate a promised fix for an issue that was causing corrupted saves—although, sorry to say, it won't repair any saved games that are already borked.
Speaking of those highlights, here they are:
A date for the Cyberpunk 2077 2.01 patch wasn't announced, but CD Projekt said it's «coming soon.» In the meantime, if you're looking to optimize your performance, be sure to check out our guide to the best settings for Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 and Phantom Liberty, which includes benchmarks and image quality comparisons to help you fine-tune your Night City experience.
