When Cyberpunk 2077 launched a few days ago, it was met with tons of game-breaking bugs that ruined the Cyberpunk experience for many players, including many issues with quests. Luckily Cyberpunk devs have released a new hotfix, version 1.04, to address many of these issues. The hotfix is available now for PC and Playstation 4. CD Projekt Red is still working on the patch for Xbox consoles and should have it out soon.
The main bug fixes are primarily regarding quests themselves, namely fixing issues with completing objectives, correcting issues when abandoning quest mid-way through, and quests being blocked. The vast majority of the issues are NPC based, whether that's an NPC not calling V by her name or NPCs despawning completely if you left the game. Some other key fixes include eliminating the smudge effect on Xbox One and Playstation 4 and modifying flash effects on braindances to help reduce epileptic symptoms.
The patch should be available for download now on PS4 and PC. Here's a detailed rundown of the fixes:
