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!

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!

Yo this happened to me, In a different area of Westbrook, Charter Hill. I went to a old save and found all the enemies killed, so maybe it has something to do with clearing the area, leaving but not looting the cache?

702 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

Oh almost forgot in my list: Dashing into people (double pressing w a s or d) counts as you threatening them with your weapon and will be counted as a crime by nearby police officers (the people will cower in fear or run away yelling/screaming)

701 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

NCPD Assault In Progress Westbrook Charter Hill enemies not spawning. There is no one to kill and so the quest cannot be completed. Side note: this is literally the final mission I have in the game and I can't complete it so that's pretty annoying lol

700 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

Continuation of list: - Car got sent flying a few times, usually only a few meters but got went up high in the sky once - Iconic items can be sold or disassembled (hopefully not intended) (be careful, you can't get them back) - had a bunch more but forgot what they were

699 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

Continuation of list: - In the riot club, right when you go through the first door after talking asking around for Liam, you can walk down the path straight and at the end of it you can pull out weapons - using the above bug, you can quickly open the door to the dance area and walk back immediately and use rocket arm mod to kill people inside before the door closes - in above, police will spawn but despawns immediately if you move away from the bug spot

698 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

Continuation of List: - Guns deal 0 damage or can't kill (reload save to fix) - BTW "my car got flattened" is fixed by reloading save too, forgot - when loading a new area, all cars in that area appeared around me for a second while they were generated - You can stand in Dakota's table (Aldecaldos camp) - If you kill all police officers that are hunting you at 4 stars, the stars will disappear and the fight is over (not sure if intended)

697 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

Continuation of List ^: - had 0/0 HP and couldn't die (0 current hp / 0 max hp) (reload save to fix) - Yorinobu didnt show a single animation during the entire cutscene where he enters his suite, kills his father to when he left the suite again (like perma T-pose but with arms on his sides instead of up) - In the car while escaping, instead of the biochip, Jackie took out his pistol and jammed it into my neck (same animation as would've been with biochip, just not the biochip)

696 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

I've had a ton of bugs so far: - My car (that I called) spawned inside the ground - My car goes flying - Any ledge if walked on at the right position serves as a insane speedboost - My car got flattened by one of Delamain's cars in the Epistrophy questline (Car was inside the ground with me and no way to get out) - Enemy T-posing (only had it once towards the end of the game where you recover Johnny's car and only lasted 2 seconds)

695 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

dont just look and see if u killed all, check if u are still in combat at the time u think u are done, sometimes one sneaky guy is hiding somewhere

694 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

I don't remember which one, but one of the story missions popped up in my side missions instead, I just noticed because I remembered the name of the mission.

693 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

what exactly is the problem? how can u not interact? did u get in range for the scanner? did u talk to the car yet?

692 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

it should be there, just try [Inventory] then bottom right [Cyberdeck] it should be there, my specs also disappeared but i got the quickhack i crafted

691 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

Same bug for me. Went to the location where we would meet if it was working, and nobody is there.

690 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

ACTUALLY SHE JUST CALLED ME. DISREGARD THIS "BUG".

689 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

This may have happened because I killed Maiko on accident, but then I loaded back a previous save and I didn't kill Maiko. But the game thinks that I killed her.

688 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

I completed "Pisces" without killing Maiko but Judy won't call me to start the "Piramid Song" quest. When I look at the "Pisces" quest in the completed quest list, it is blank as well.

687 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

Enemies adopt me as one of their own and I can no longer aim at them / shoot at them. They also pretend I dont exist. Does not affect robots though.

686 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

Johny silverhand glitch effect is cut off in every scene from start to finish. I play on high end pc and have not seen this issue elsewhere. Anyone else have this issue?

685 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

Similar things happening to me, everytime I try to jack in an access point, v pulls the cord out of his arm and then it just goes right back in his arm instead of going into the access point. Super frustrating

684 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

The quest: Full Disclosure is bugged. I tried to hack in front of Sandra in her apartment upon which she went aggro so I had to kill her. In the process of killing her I received a phone call which changed the tracked quest to another one. When I change the track quest back to Full Disclosure, Sandra appeared to be under the map. I had this bug for 4 days now and there's no way of completing it because she is under the map now.

683 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

Crafting a quickhack makes the spec disappear from my inventory and the item doesn't show up in my inventory.

682 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

Game breaking bug during The Heist mission. Trying to walk through a door and the game crashes every time without fail.

681 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

Quest (Pisces) is bugged for me, it just says to meet with Judy and the dolls, no quest marker or instructions

680 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport
