Can You Beat CYBERPUNK On Patch 1.0? 

I did beat it on 1.0, and inspite of all the shit it threw at me, I loved it to bits, and I'm very happy about how far it has come. Here's to the future.

The negative damage numbers are caused by your gun reaching a damage number higher than what can be stored in the variable type they use to hold the damage dealt number, so when it overflows, it jumps to the highest negative number.

This vid really takes me down memory lane. Personally I didn't experience many glitches (maybe because I didn't try to test the limit) but it definitely felt different from where it is today.

This is exactly how I remember the game. I put 40+ hours in the game on release and outside of a handful of funny glitches I only crashed once. Overpowered weapons and dupe glitching vs Super Tanky Bosses

Hardest challenge yet lol.

06:05 Jackie floating is actually the second bug you encounter during this run because on earlier patches you can't interact with the datapad in Saburo's AV.

Man I remember playing this game for the first time December 2020. Still enjoying it today!

"I'm inside Panam!" Says the majority of every male V 🤣😂

The insane negative damage is from integer overflow, when the damage number is higher than the memory slot allocated for it, and it just starts counting again from the lowest number it can. And because apparently the developers used a signed integer (one that can store negative numbers, as opposed to an unsigned one which cannot) it starts from -2^31, or -2,147,483,648

This is exactly how I remember the game. I need to try the game again when I can find the time with all the newer updates.

One massive source of bugs was related to HDDs as they didn't have enough IOPs to stream assets in on time. So if you're playing on an SSD, you likely won't see any t-posing. I played though two complete playthroughs with that damn music looping throughout all of the johnny flashback. Drove me insane. First time, I thought it was intentional!

Good video as always man! I remember beating it on 1.05 on PC just when it came out and I was actually surprised at all the people shitting so hard on the game for being unplayable mess, while the worse I got was 1 single crash to desktop and few times my car would just spawn into the wall or other cars. Anyway I fell in love in the game and beat it in over 100 hours. Can't wait for the DLC and maybe saving my V somehow? We will see

I played 2077 on launch on my PS4. Idk if I was lucky or what but the game barely crashed for me and I personally don’t mind glitches too much cause a quick reload solves most things. I loved it back then and I still love it now

I thought I remembered getting Johnny's arm that would appear as like a weird hologram type thing over our real arm when we held weapons and stuff! Glad I wasn't misremembering and crazy. lol Sad there weren't more crazy glitches but as someone who played Cyberpunk on PS4 at launch, I can say this ran muuuuuch better for you on PC (likely because of your hardware upgrades) than it did for me. Though, honestly aside from crashing every hour or so if I played too long and a few weird bugs like falling through the floor in the second Johnny flashback and not being able to get back inside the building, it didn't play *as* bad as some people experienced. Still had texture loading issues and other cosmetic bugs. But I've sunk hundreds of hours across multiple playthroughs since the game's been out, and have still enjoyed the game in new ways each time. Planning on getting a PS5 for when Phantom Liberty drops. Feel its probably cheaper than trying to upgrade components to play it on PC. Anyways, thanks for another great video my dude! Keep it up!

18:55 I think this glitch is still in the game. You start the whole Alt & Johnny flashback sequence with V's hud colors and don't have as much health as Johnny SHOULD have. This persists until you die.

Oh I remember that window glass bug. It was something about the collision detection paired with the fragmentation physics that would toss you back like 10m. It was nuts and reaaaallly easy to reproduce as a bug!

I still remember my first glitch in 1.2 where you leave V’s apartment with the virus from Sandre Dorset and eat with Jackie. When Jackie got up, he said “take the car for a spin,” and decided it would be necessary to FAZE THROUGH THE GODAMN CAR, and an other time he fell through the elevator in the heist.

There used to be a bug with River's gun, "Crash" where you could stack it's effect of increasing fire rate and damage. If you went to a decent enemy farm, where you run in a circuit, respawning enemies, you could break "Crash" so it got stuck doing such a high rate of fire that technically all it's bullets when auto fired would hit at once. That's the integer overflow damage of around -2BN (as far as I tested was the highest possible calculable damage). At the time it was pretty consistent and could be repeated.

This really takes me back to lockdown - the one-ear guitar riff, repeatedly spawning inside Panam during the cave mission, the crazy tanky bosses. The game is "better" now but the OG was still great and even if it was a bit janky the backlash to it was insanely over the top.

I remember "I’m inside Panam" part when I played 1.05😂

Played on base ps4 day one and the glitches gave me the funniest, most unique experience I've ever had with a game. Smart weapons was the only way I could get thru 10 fps fights, and boy, do i miss k-hopping.

I remember that hovering inside Panam in the caves glitch. Immensely annoying and it didn't help I died like 20 times down there because I was WAY under leveled.

"seeing my character in space like this really makes me hype for Starfield" oh no

you got me into this game and after getting this game i loved it. making things better i have the same fan glitch when it spins around the town. love the cyberpunk content

I was so excited to see this video drop today, I'm so happy to see some of my favorite early patch bugs come back (especially the guitar in the Johnny section, and yes, it does last for the whole mission). I've been playing since basically day one and I do have some info if you ever wanted to try to oneshot smasher again - you could look into a stealth quickhacks build. The breach protocol tree has some perks that lower enemy resistances, combined with crit stacking, and stealth damage (and the fact that quickhacks used to be even more busted then they are in current patch) and you might be able to pull some even bigger numbers. I remember the electrocution hack basically obliterating any mechanical enemy so hard that it took me dozens of hours to notice it had dot damage. You could also potentially try a monowire crit, i remember it being pretty unbalanced on certain patches. Keep up the good work, can't wait to see what fun challenges you come up with next!

I had the panam eyeball glitch also back in the day 😂

I beat Cyberpunk a couple of weeks after release and it was very reasonable for me. Few crashes, solid framerate at high settings, even though it was only 1080p, I was on a 1st gen Ryzen cpu and an R9 390, and overall it was just a very fun time. I was pretty disappointed by the reviews which all focused on how bad the game was for it's bugs but I know a couple of people who got it on console and literally couldn't play it; so I understand it. Genuinely, I know there were issues with the game back then, but for those of us lucky enough to have the game work relatively close to as it was intended, it was definitely a contender for game of the year.

Played it on release day and had an absolute blast with this game, it actually ran well and bugs/glitches weren't as common as some RU-vid compilations made you believe. And I can only really remember one crash. It certainly wasn't perfect, especially the open world bit, but when you focused on the story, side missions it was a ton of fun and the gameplay and overall setting of the game, plus the stunning visuals helped it a ton. Glad I had it on PC and not old-gen

"im inside of Panam" gains new meaning

I played it on 1.6 in september last year and there were so many bugs and glitches. Funny how every experience differs :D

Sorry to see that you were not able to one shot the boss at the end. Still I love that you included it. Well done.

been subbed for a while and i jus wanna say that the quality of your videos is really consistant and good, ill be looking forward to seeing your channel grow over time keep up the good work!

The worst problems I had was performance issues at release. Some very minor glitches, but I did a 100% on patch 1.0.. i5 9600k and a 2080 + Ultra wide wasnt great, but got arround 50fps stable

29:45 From what I understand as a programmer, the thing with the negative damage numbers is that the damage exceeds the integer 32bit limit which is around 2.1 billion and because it cannot calculate up, the game just makes the number one above the limit -1 and counts -2, -3 and so on, until it gets to the limit in the negative number which is the same as the limit in the positive numbers, but plus one and is (logically) negative and than it should stuck at 0, which still works as 0 meaning no damage. The negative damage numbers work probably because noone expected players to break the integer 32bit limit. I think that is how it works because some games do the same things with numbers. Also I think that on some newer patch the max damage was capped on the limit or slightly bellow it, which is the easiest fix (capping negative damage would make the player unable to do damage, and changing the data type so it can handle bigger numbers would require massive rework in the code).

i’ve been playing this game a lot lately and just upgraded my pc from the ground up yesterday, really excited to play cyberpunk and phantom liberty

I played it day one too, and I had a wonderful experience (on PC). The huge backlash mainly come from older gen console, and it was well deserved for those. (But I also had the window pushing you away in Panam's mission ^^)

Been watching since 3.5k subs, can’t wait to see you inevitability blow the hell up on here :)

“Today we’re playing on the day 1 version of the game to see how broken it is. Hopefully we can get a bunch of crashes😁” “Also btw we’re playing with the early patch, which is version 1.05, so it doesn’t crash as much🤨”

I think certain story missions have different difficulty/level/stat scaling than open world because they're more controlled. They adjust them to be challenging no matter what level or gear you're using.

Yeah when I first played Cyberpunk the glitches were nowhere near as bad as people made them out to be. Sure, there were a few visual glitches but only once or twice during my first playthrough glitches were so bad that I had to reload a save. Cyberpunk, on PC at least, was not in a worse state than other AAA games on launch and the media drastically oversold how bad it was.

Haven't played CP on the later patches (waiting a bit longer), but as a PC player I didn't see anything "broken" much beyond the stuff you kind of expect for a release of a game this size. The PC release did have some quest related issues, but was more or less fine early on.

4mins after posted, earliest I've been in awhile, happy to support the channel been loving the vids man keep it up!

28:15 you forgot about the predator mod which lets you do more damge to highlevel threats and skull icon enemies.

Playing 1.0, but actually playing 1.05, but actually its not even that because bro has post 1.5 dlc........ just start this game in a ps4/5 without internet and you will see the actual game at 1.0

yup beat it few days after release and tbh i didnt see much crazy stuff myself probs a couple but yeah its so different now i still love it

18:34 I got the same glitched music too! You unlocked a very peculiar memory of my first playthrough

Would love to see you take on the Enemies of Night City mod, buffs bosses and gangs with their new skill sets and perks as a challenge run!

This was my first video I've seen of yours and it was an instant subscribe for me.

yeah I remember playing this day 1 on PS4 and boy was it a WILD ride

Ngl I played at release and got crazy lucky. I never really ran into any issues I love it then and love it now, so glad they’ve continued to work on it and bring it to what it should’ve been all along

finished the game back on patch 1.0 on PC and had absolutely no game breaking bugs or crashes except for 2 things: 1. jackie t-posed during the entire cutscene that plays after the intro and before the mission with sandra dorset. the cutscene was also all kinds of fucked up, with people inside the ground, other people t-posing too and jackie vibrating aggresively whenever he showed up. which set my expectations for a buggy mess from the start lmao 2. the game crashed while i was doing the delamain mission with the car in the desert twice in a row, although i had left the game running overnight without pausing it right before it crashed besides that, absolutely no other bugs or crashes on patch 1.0, everything worked perfectly. and it was genuine patch 1.0, didn't feel the need to update it since I wasn't seeing any issues, i actually specifically made sure not to update since i saw everyone complaining the game was buggy and assumed it might be due to the hotfixes somehow. funny enough, got more bugs on patch 2.0 + phantom liberty. specifically the fact that V was VERY attached to the basic unity pistol you get during cutscenes to the point where it showed up in every single cutscene inlcuding the ones where it's not supposed to be there kinda glued to the index finger and just waving around. it pretty much became part of the character model during the whole game, only place it didn't show up was when playing in the first-person viewmodel. even funnier was that when you were supposed to have a unity pistol in hand in a cutscene, the other one was still there, so V had 2 unity pistols in the same hand.

As soon as you started the Panam storyline, I knew you were going to get launched by the window lol. Happened to me and many others on day 1.

When I watch your vids it's kind of a safe spot for me were I Just enjoy the vid and don't think about anything else... love it!

The one glitch I noticed in the newest patch is that if you take down close to a wall the enemy will sometimes phase through the wall

Aahh the good old window launch at 12:19 Good times, good times. I had the same reaction as you

When I played Jackie was eating his cup of chinese food and the model of the cup stayed in the air lol.

So for the sections were your shooting from the passenger seat. With the current build you can pull out whatever weapons you have equipped. They give you that pistol but you can still swapp

I honestly enjoyed it on 1.0 played it on PS5 there were little few issues but I enjoyed the speed glitch and also the flying and no fall damage use to explore and test out Scenarios with the story

Loved it on 1.0, loving my second play through even more on 2.0

Surprisingly i didnt get any heavy bugs or crashes on launch with my ps4, but i was still disappointed with how clunky everything about it felt

Rq during 2:58 I did some testing and at least in version 2.0 you can pull out an assault rifle. I also remember in previous patches being able to pull out other guns. I think it just initially forces you to use a pistol if you don't have a weapon on your instan equip slot (press b or left click and the first thing to pull out basically)

i did beat it on 1.0 was so hyped that i didnt even care, i did to more runs now after leaving it for like 2 years and its incredible how far its come as a game

What a rollercoaster of events we went with this game huh

If I remember right, deadeye was one of the couple mods that just straight didn't work, don't remember if it was 1.2 or 1.4 that it was fixed.

I’ve been a viewer sense like 1k subs I’m glad to see ur getting the attention u deserve congrats ham

I played it on release, and despite the game breaking bugs and having the constant need to manually save your progress every 10-15 minutes or before and after a mission to not lose progression I still loved it. Amazing story, loved the world building, I loved the characters, I loved that my choices matter, loved the unique endings, combat was unique and refreshing to me, and even the side missions were very fun. Only CJ Projekt Red could pull off a game that has a choices matter feel to it while combining amazing combat gameplay like The Witcher 3.

yea glitching into panam was such a funny thing that happened to me too

Only like big glitch I had in 1.05 was falling through map very often. But beside this it was fun and some glitches were really fun

I hopked up pirate bay like two months after launch and downloaded 1.0 from there. Finished the game and really enjoyed it. But i do enjoy doing runs more now

When this first came out I had it beaten within the week but then I didn't really run into to many glitches and mostly just T pose NPCs and this was on a 1060 6gb card which ran it perfectly enough for me to play it fully.

i remember that guitar looping sound effect, good times, good times.

Love you bro thanks for the content❤

That window glitch I remember! It took me almost a half hour to get through that hecking window, I teleported maybe a dozen times.

It took me such a long time to beat Oswald. I've been meaning to go back to the game, him being not so much of a chore is additional incentive.

I’d love to see a side by side video of 1.0 vs. 2.0, just to see massive improvement the devs have provided. Anyhow, I love this video. Takes me back to December 2020.

Yes, it is very much possible, as someone who played since day one and didn’t give up due to bugs, the game was great and sometimes the bugs were pretty funny too

12:19 I STILL remember this happening to me on release day and it's definitely my most memorable bug because of how unexpectedly sudden it was. Good times.

I didn't have a lot of instability back then either. I remember being surprised how buggy other people found the game even on PC it ran mostly fine for me. I actually experienced some of the patches later that supposedly made the game more stable introduced some really weird render issues where I'd see the outline of trees through other objects

'Im inside Panam' (13:06) Thats what Ive been wishing for during the entire game

I had a hilarious experience playing this game, some glitches, but no crashes. Yet when I finished it and was just messing around night city was the first and last time that the game gave me a crash :D

Within 2 minutes of me into the first mission I learned movement tech on ps5 that lets you always b-hop no matter the stamina bar or dash upgrades, once you do upgrade those however one stride plus double jump is AT LEAST 20 feet, i was running faster than traffic with no upgrades

This reminded me that I lost to Oswald when I played on release, forgot he was so much harder back then.

You can kinda still do that jump thing from the start. Just dodge and immediately smash jump and then start smashing them both at the same time and V starts flying through the streets with great speeds. Dunno if it works with the slow mo stuff.

2:01 - Oh yeah, I remember that. I got the installer for my preload version in a folder to revisit someday. [GOG installer ending in (43299) with the patch being (43399)]

That weird kickdrum and the guitar riff was definitely a glitch I got XD I enjoyed that glitch.

Ya that window glitch happened to me on the series X back in the day and kept doing over and over, I had to find a way to get in there some how without hoping threw the window normally

This is the bravest challenge I've ever seen you do.

You just did what game testers do when testing their game with that smasher hit numbers

I absolutely love this game glad they stuck with it and fixed most if not all of the issues been playing since day one

Ahh brings me back to December 2020 and trying to play this on ps4, good times and bad times

the negative dmg probably is from overflow - you basically do "too much" damage(more than the biggest number the engine seems able to handle) and it goes into negative(very badly explained, but that's what I've heared in other videos with similar stuff happening)

this is how you one shot smasher get legendary short circuit bc if you have that equipped then every crit hit with a weapon will also so a TON of electrical damage

The K-Hop bug was so good. Once i started to get good with it, I never so much as opened the vehicle call menu to drive anywhere. Add double jump legs and it was perfect

I REMEMBER THE WINDOW JUMP WITH PANAM THAT WAS IN THE GAME FOR SO LONG

I finished the story on the release built with low tier weapons with horribly low damage only time it glitched was when i was locked out from completing a mission but reloading the save fixed it.

I think the one shot, concept happens in 1.31 or the ver lower, I had the honor of finishing the game on almost all the versions, I think the perk tree helped a lot with regards to the one-shot, cold-blood stacked very weird i remember.

Playing 2.0 I found that weapon meleeing someone does a stun and you can stun lock almost anybody and just kill em using quick melees

I love that they made keresnikov hop an actual thing now

Oh man The good old infinite music glitch xD I remember hating it so much on this whole mission

thats definitely one thing from the day 1 patch. i could not for the life of me vault through windows and it just always works now
