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!

Yes, I cannot use the blood pump anymore either, although I didn't notice when it happened. I don't have the whip.

552 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

Tech weapons sometimes do not shoot. The fix is to reload the last save. Its unfortunate to have a buggy misfire in the middle of a fight, because I already play on the hardest difficulty and tech weapons are my mains.

551 Anonymous 550almost 4 yearsReport

Dum Dum is following me around the world since I did the mission in the maelstrom hub. I reloaded the game and lost 3 hours of progress, sided with the military woman, whom I dont even like and "fixed" the problem like this.

550 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

Anyone else lose the ability to use a blood pump after they got arm augmentation? I tested it for an hour and I could use my blood pump (%50 health recovery, cool down 180 sec) as much as I needed until I got the monofilament whip installed. Then I could never activated the pump again. Bug or cuberware limitation??

549 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

So apparently in the automatic love quest I can no longer enter lizzies the doors opened but the holo of closed is still there making an invisible wall tried reloading, closing game, reloaded an old save nothing dont know how to get passed this

548 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

I have trouble saving the game and finishing missions their all bugged out cannot finish mission like the queens highway she won't go the bar she just sits on invisible chair i am literally game stuck because of these bugs lol.

547 ExpressCompanyalmost 4 yearsReport

Quick hack menu stuck on screen in top left corner. cant see health bars

546 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

Has anyone else been running into any saving issues? Seems like my game was saving just fine, then I completed a couple of side missions and all of the sudden it wasn’t auto saving and wouldn’t let me manual save either. Not sure if it was that specific mission that glitched it or if anyone else has had this problem?

So I just completed the Don't Lose Your Mind mission for Delamain and at the end a vehicle spawns, you need to get into the car to leave the building, but my car spawned inside another car and exploded. Now I'm trapped in a room, I tried reloading, no good and can't kill myself in anyway. Reloading the game does nothing, only option was to reload an old save point undoing about 2 hours of gameplay. Save often folks.

544 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

I’m experiencing the bug on the Hammer mission where you first play as Johnny Silverhand. The part where you are firing at the enemies on the roof from the helicopter. After defeating the main enemies I am unable to shoot at the turrets. The bullets do no damage and I have no way to further progress in the story. I’m at a stalemate. This needs to be fixed ASAP

543 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

Same here man. So annoying

542 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

after doing the missions with panam ive been stuck with the turret commands on the screen ever since. reloading doesnt fix

541 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

I'm sure I'm not the only one this has happened to, but in Act 1 at the beginning of the All Foods mission when you go to meet Jackie he vanishes from the world. I've tried all the tips to try and get him back but nothing, loading an old save, doing some other missions first and coming back, and fast traveling and resting at your apartment. Nothing seems to work, all I can hope for is that they patch it in the 1.05 patch. T^T

540 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

I have noticed the same thing. I have 20 hours on my save and 4 movement speed. Only perks that increase it by percentage seem to affect it (it has increased momentarily to 5 with movement speed buffs on from Annihilation tree), but my pants with +23 movement speed do nothing. I even measured how long it takes to walk/run a certain distance and the time was the same with pants or no pants.. Unfortunately I don't know how to make it work. I guess it's a bug related to the game mechanics.

539 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

I’m currently doing the mission - life during wartime - part of the mission is I need to call takemura yet I can’t call him and I can’t leave the room because the doors locked and I can’t unlock it, I’m literally stuck until it gets fixed

538 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

Not sure if this is a bug or not, but I am unable to sleep in other apartments other than the main one. With having a "relationship" you'd think you could sleep in their bed right?

537 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

I'm in the mission with panam when you hit the powerplant and the the av but my camera is stuck and I can't move v around, in turret and other menus it's fine but when I'm in first person mode in car or out using weapons or walking around I can't move the camera

536 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

I am doing the Hellman mission in the gas station. I cleared all the enemies and talked to the owner but the door is upstairs door is still locked.

535 Halseyalmost 4 yearsReport

I'm doing the first mission you do for Dex in All Food and at the end when you have to fight two mechs as soon as I get in that room the game crashes. I got lucky after 4 crashes and defeated the mechs without it crashing, I leveled up and it autosaved, and then it crashed. Now I load back in and the game crashes within 5 seconds every. single. time.

534 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

Fast travel to Clarendon St. It's apparently a line that Johnny says for a mission close to that location, and going there resolves it.

533 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

Go to left behind the building and there should be a ladder, shoot the switch next to the ladder and you can go through the door.

532 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

The answer is drink alcohol.

531 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

*NEED HELP* *MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS* While trying to do the Main Job “Disasterpiece”. After buying the BD Death Head. I have to meet with Judy and enter the van but my game is glitched and the van is underground 150m. So there’s no way to enter the van and finish the mission. I’ve tried reloading saves, restarting the game, everything but the van always glitches right after I talk to the guy and buy the BD from him. *Image - This is where the van is supposed to be but says its underground.

530 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

i have 50 hours in and im level 28 with 48 street cred and i only have 5 movement speed. my reflex level is currently at 13. it doesnt seem to go up no matter what i do. id really like to wear johnny's pants.....

529 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

Can't talk to bouncer to get into bar for "The Information" quest . Reinstalled game and still persists

528 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

Just a question because I think I may have done this to myself. In the cyberpsycho sighting: bloody ritual quest, the psycho didn't appear after I scanned everything. I took one of the bodies and, without knowing what it would do, put it in the burned out car that's labeled as body disposal and now I don't think i'll ever be able to complete the quest.

527 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

I've seen tons of bugs, but the worst one for me is that no matter if you turn difficulty all the way down to Easy, it's nearly impossible to kill a Valentino for me. I unloaded everything I had into one of them point blank in the face, over 600 rounds, before they dropped. That was ONE. In a group, I don't stand a chance. They can hit me with a shotgun from sniper range, and two-shot me. Tons of other bugs and glitches. This makes Fallout and Mass Effect Andromeda's bungled releases look good.

526 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

ther delamain mission is bugged for me, i cant scan the last 2 cars even though i can see them walking around

525 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

I got this one after at the end of "Transmission". Just reloaded the last save I had before I saw the glitch. Thankfully this game autosaves a lot.

524 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

yep, stuck in the exact same situation :-/
