List of Bugs Top.png

More than a year after the release of Cyberpunk 2077, the game has finally been revived from the backlash it has received since its launch. Read on to learn more about Cyberpunk 2077's most controversial glitches, its latest bugs, and their fixes.

List of Bugs and Glitches

Most Bugs Are Now Fixed

With the release of Patches 1.5 and 1.6, you'll be pleased to know that there are no longer game breaking bugs for Cyberpunk 2077. Although like most games, it's not entirely devoid of mistakes, so keep an eye out for minor bugs.

Wondering if Cyberpunk 2077 is worth playing now? Check out our article to see what has changed and what has been fixed.

Is Cyberpunk 2077 Fixed?

Stuck on “Talk to Viktor” Objective in The Ripperdoc

Cyberpunk 2077 The Ripperdoc 03.png

A bug has occurred for some players which prevents them from proceeding past the “Talk to Viktor” Objective. When talked to, players find themselves only able to ask “How's Biz?”.

Although we were not able to confirm this bug ourselves, players have reported being able to resolve the issue by saving and reloading the game. Be sure to try this first when you encounter this problem!

Enemies Clip Through Walls

In the escape section of The Heist, the Leader of the Arasaka Guards will normally emerge from an elevator and attack the player. However, this bug will cause him to instead clip crazily through the walls and put up no resistance against the player.

Although this may seem advantageous, it may actually cause the defeated Leader to fall through the floor, making it impossible to receive his Access Chip and forcing the player to revert to a previous save.

Even in the following elevator scene with Jackie, the slain Leader's corpse may continue to occasionally fall through the ceiling into the floor.

Characters' Mouths do Not Move

One of the most common bugs in Cyberpunk 2077 is characters' mouths not moving. During in-game dialouge or even cutscenes, you are likely to see at least one character who is talking without moving their face. In the beginning of the game, this can often be seen with Jackie, since he is frequently speaking with V.

T-Posing NPCs

T-Pose

You may come across some NPCs that are locked in a T-pose. They will still be able to interact with you, but getting them to stop posing can be quite difficult.

Game Textures Glitch Out

During your playthrough of Cyberpunk 2077, you may notice many strange occurances with in-game textures. During our playthrough, some examples included V's knuckles being see-through, NPC models freezing, and characters appearing out of nowhere.

Gun Clipping

During some scenes in Cyberpunk 2077, you may have noticed weird moments when some characters have their gun clipped to some parts of their body. This ruins the immersion and emotional weight of some scenes.

As of patch 1.6, there are still cases of the Gun Clipping glitch although it shows up very rarely.

Flying Cars

Perhaps one of the funniest glitches in the game, the Flying Car glitch was notorious specially during Cyberpunk 2077's launch. This includes the player's car, whether they're inside or not.

Broken Car AI

If you have played Cyberpunk 2077 during launch, you may have noticed cars driving through barriers, and only going in circles when in roundabouts. So watch out whenever you're walking on the pavements.

Fixed Bugs and Glitches

1st Place bug in The Beast in Me: Badlands

Cyberpunk 2077 Luigi Bug trigger

A number of players have encountered bug during The Beast in Me: Badlands side quest. It's where the player finishes first but the game recognizes Luigi Antonowicz as the winner of the race.

Has it been resolved?

As of patch 1.6, this bug still happens often and there is no fix out yet. But you can avoid this bug by ignoring Luigi, doing so makes the game recognize V and Claire as the winners of the race.

Map Glitch

Cyberpunk 2077 Map Glitch

Some players in PC may have noticed map glitches in their game. This is caused by NVIDIA's latest game ready driver update 522.25 last October 12, 2022.

Has it been resolved?

Check out NVIDIA's Fix for this problem if you do not wish to roll back your driver.

If NVIDIA's fix is too complicated for you, you can try rolling back your driver by going to Device Manager > Display Adapters > Double click on your GPU > Drivers > Roll Back Driver.

Getting Stuck in the Mission Love Like Fire

After The Heist mission, you will awake as Johnny Silverhand. While playing as him, you will make your way to a helicopter and fly towards a tower. Your objective will be to take out the enemies on the roof, but the combat turrents will be invincible. If you experience this bug, you will be unable to move forward with the main story line.

You will also appear to not take any damage, making you stuck in the helicopter. It will continue to circle the roof until you take out all enemies, which is impossible. The bullet fire will appear to pass through the enemy turrets.

Has it been resolved?

Based on our investigations after upgrading to Patch 1.05, this bug has been resolved!

Takemura Call Stuck in Down on the Street

Cyberpunk 2077 - Plan with Takemura.png

During Down on the Street, Takemura calls you but doesn't say anything. This could possibly hinder the player's progress in the main story as V is required to respond to Takemura's call.

Has it been resolved?

Based on our investigations after upgrading to Patch 1.11, this bug has been resolved!

Down on the Street Walkthrough and Rewards

Jackie is Inaccessible in the “Talk to Jackie” Objective at the End of The Pickup

At the end of the The Pickup, when you exit the building, you'll find that corpos surrounding the building. If Jackie is not outside with you and remains in the building, one of the corpos will block your way from accessing him, rendering the Talk to Jackie objective undoable.

Jackie Door Bug.jpg

A possible way to circumvent this is by not rushing out to talk to whoever is outside, waiting for Jackie to follow you. If he's in the doorway and is stuck there, it's possible to talk to him at a certain angle.

Has it been resolved?

Based on our investigations after upgrading to Patch 1.05, this bug has been resolved!

I am stuck in ‘Transmission’. I killed the boss, Placide. However he was in the stairwell and I was outside of the door that leads to the stairwell and now that door will not open. I am supposed to get a key off of his body to leave the chapel and I am now trapped. I can’t even move to a different mission because the key is to open the chapel door. What do I do????

965 Anonymousabout 3 yearsReport

After the Voodoo boys final quest, I finally finish talking over things with Johnny, then stand up. I notice that I cannot call my car. Then after running around, I slowly realize that all cars (except parking ones) and normal NPC (except the shootable ones) have disappeared from the map. Sometimes I can see a car but by the time I get closer they all disappear. How can this be? This is beyond a bug. How can all NPCs disappear from a game!? This is more than frustrating. PS4 version by the way.

THE HEIST - Get rid of the drones: I do not have a gun in my hands so I can't shoot the drones. Yes, I did have a gun in my hands when I started the quest. Anyone?

963 Anonymousabout 3 yearsReport

Ive recently started having issues with hacking....especially pings, which always cost one RAM. All the sudden theyre costing 4 RAM even though the screen says it should only cost one.

962 omphtelibaabout 3 yearsReport

During "Last Caress" I can't continue, because I can't "Neutralize the elite guards" because I was in the villa before the quest and killed any NPC standing around.

957 DAGabout 3 yearsReport

Having this exact problem. I hope I can continue Panam's storyline when they fix this because With a Little Help from My Friends does not appear in the quest menu. And Panam has not called me after completing Riders on the Storm.

956 Choomabout 3 yearsReport

Having this same problem with another mission. If I find anything I will let you know

955 Choomabout 3 yearsReport

I waited a few days to get into the passenger seat with Panam and when I went back the thorn was gone and shes supposedly 8 km underground. Wtf do I dooo lol I tried saving and reloading AND closing out the game and restarting. Going for the path of glory ending . .... FUCK XD

954 The Dudeabout 3 yearsReport

Cannot exit braindances. The 'x' button does not exit; any key bound to the task does not exit; any key on the keyboard does not exit. Given there is at least one braindance related mission in the main storyline that must be completed, the main quest was broken for me a few missions after 'The Heist'. I can wander and take out crooks and pursue side missions, but without the ability to progress through braindance missions, this game is dead to me.

953 Anonymousabout 3 yearsReport

Yes, I made that mistake too

952 Anonymousabout 3 yearsReport

I’m stuck in the brothel where evelyn glitched after I talk to woodman and he directs me to leave I cannot get out lady at front counter repeats intro speech and doors are locked can’t get hear back tried jumping out window only death I’ve killed everyone there reloaded the scene nothing works also can’t kill lady behind counter even with a Grenade Pretty annoyed right now

951 Difficulty bugabout 3 yearsReport

After The Heist and the ofrenda to Jackie scene, enemies became near invencible and kills you with one or two shots. That applies for any main, side or random encounter in any location of the mao. Changing the difficulty or loading from an earlier save does not solve the issue. The game is just unplayable once this bug happens.

950 Anonymousabout 3 yearsReport

I just did the mission "riding the storm" with panam and was supposed to get the call from her to start her next quest this was over a week ago in game.... please help ps4 player if it helps.

949 Anonymousabout 3 yearsReport

Doing one of panam's missions where you're on the turret in her car causes a visual glitch where it'll keep showing the controls for it on the side of the screen ever after leaving the vehicle. (Ps4)

948 Anonymousabout 3 yearsReport

In the totalimortal level anytime I look at the jungle my game instantly crashes. I've set graphics to lowest and it helped nothing. Any help?

947 Anonymousabout 3 yearsReport

I got to the part where things go south with takemura, but after that I have yet to receive any main missions

946 Anonymousabout 3 yearsReport
