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!

be sure you're there between 6pm and 6am (look at the game clock in the minimap). just thought I'd mention it in case you hadn't seen that part

Quest, Cyberphyco sighting: demons of war. I've finished the quest but tells me to go back and do it again but the cyberphyco isn't there nor is any of the items that you find to finish the quest, really annoying as someone who is trying to 100% the game

461 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

I have the bug with the helicopter mission and i have the last update i also restarted the game so many times, deleted some storage. Nothing works out. Any solutions yet ??

460 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

Exactly the same issue, Automatic Love mission, unable to get into Lizzie's bouncers don't respond to my presence.

459 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

cant “search the corpse” after the “Bloody Ritual” cyberpsycho mission, there is no corpse to search cause the body disappeared after i killed her :))))

458 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

The two mission “Down on the street” and “Tapeworm” are not functioning as intended. Both mission have no objective point and will not progress. Johnny simply doesn’t show up in Tapeworm and Takemura doesn’t call after you wait a day or even a week.

457 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

Life during wartime mission glitched, can someone tell the location where the av crashed? :D

456 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

PS4 pro needs a major graphics update of the city when your walking around or driving and fixing up the NPCs trying to load at really close distances and I’m playing the game on PS4 pro at native 4K with HDR10PQ. Some parts look good during the day but their is a lot of areas in Night city that need polishing up of the buildings and NPCs acting too glitchy in areas. Another one is that a random motorcycle will pop out of nowhere near China town.

455 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

As a Nomad, I came across a lot of Texture bugs. I caught a bug in the beginning part where V would be fixing her car and when she pulls out the plug from her car, it will still be plugged it “buggy animation” and Jackie would walk through an Elevator like a ghost in some missions. The beginning presentation of Night city is glitchy before the start of the game. A lot of NPCs are very low in textures in a lot of areas in Night City and would be standing next to their duplicate other in the city

Can't jack into consoles when it's required in gigs missions, attempts to plugin wire then it just freezes and I can't back or move, can only look around.

453 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

Regina Jones missions bugged. The first few worked fine, but now quests aren't closing and I don't get a call post-job. Queueing is messed up such that when I go to a new "undiscovered" job, she calls closing out the previous job, not starting the new one. Once the new job is done, she calls about starting the 'new job' i just completed. Bridge cyberpsycho quest is also broken. Really breaks the enjoyment of side missions.

452 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

Now, when I start a Regina's side quest, instead of the usual briefing and message, she says last side quest's final dialogue. When I finish the quest, she sends the message and the briefing and all. And then, when I start the next side quest... you know how this goes. Moreover, the sidequests are not showing as completed on my journal.

451 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

Update on this bug, it occurs when you're in the Basilisk and the countermeasures activate. Haven't been able to figure out a way around it, but I've pinpointed this as the problem, trying to experiment around save files and so on, but no dice.

450 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

Ghost Town Quest bugged on PC. When ask to scan 3 devices in the area, the counter won't go up after scanning.

449 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

When doing the automatic love mission when I go try to talk to Judy the bar is closed and i cant get in

448 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

I did something with a turret and now zoom in, zoom out are stuck and work

447 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

Mission Play It Safe, After you Defeat Oda, you Jack into a terminal, Loading screen starts, you hear sounds, but screen is black.

446 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

I notice all these issues, it's so annoying driving in the car and it's like the streets are flickering in and out of existence sometimes even objects that are 3 or 4 meters away(game scale of humans)

445 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

My weapons wouldnt draw in the beginning of the game after the rescue mission, the first time we get in the car with Jack and gotta shoot at the guys in the van. I used photo mode to check it out it looked like he was dead with no head. Reloading the game didnt fix it, alternatively I used quickhacks to blind the driver and luckily it worked cause I was stuck there😅 PC RTX 2070 RYZEN 7 2700X

444 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

jup cant get out too, do you have a solution?

443 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

I found this aswell, after experimenting around, I found that looking at the sky makes it progress. This is because Panam asked you if you see a little flickering star, so you need to look at it. Hope this helps :))

442 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

Cyber Psycho Attack Smoke on the Water is done but still in active Journal and doesn't count as solved (got the call on regina and the animation that its done), anyone else got this?

441 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

Using the Nekomata, a fair amount of time I will be unable to fire until I restart the game.

440 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

Does anyone else have a bug that happens at the end of "The Pickup" mission where your suppose to call Dex, he calls asks if everything is okay, then hangs up and the mission won't conclude, and you can't call him back yourself.

439 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

Hi, Anyone else having a bug on PS4 Pro with the mission the Heist where the Delamain cab glitches out and is upside down. There seems to be no way to correct this that I have found. Anyone got it to work?

438 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

>>what platform I'm having same issue on ps5

437 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

The rendering (?) of buildings in not that far of a distance is still pretty bad sometimes and (I don't think that can be fixed) the NPC do not feel like they are physically interacting with you, wenn you run at them and so

436 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

I had really bad lagging in the instruction scene of the first mission for Dex (I mean the scene being triggered by inserting a chip).

435 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

I got a bug where I can't talk to Hanako for the Nocturne mission. I can't initiate the endgame. Her bodyguard just stands next to the elevator and I can't do anything.

434 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

I got a bug which after the mission "Tapeworm" where you are told to meet with rouge as Johnny. The mission disappeared and haven't been able to beat the game after I've already put 40+ hours into the game, so I'm left with doing side quests or starting a new game. :(
