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 also have an issue with starting Judy's quests. After "double life" I never get her call to start "both sides, now". Waited a really long time before finding out it's simply not working (until the end of the game) and did a lot of missions. Same on a second game. She does call after finishing the voodoo boys business to ask how it's gone but not for the quest.

222 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

I'm doing the Danger During Wartime mission and it seems the controls for the turret are stuck on the screen. I tried reloading the checkpoint as well and nope still stuck, I hope it goes away by the end of the mission.

When playing as Female V, when you look in the mirror or at your shadow you will be bald. I picked the first hair style and when I look at my reflection sometimes I'm bald. When I look at my shadow I'm always bald.

220 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

This is happening to me too. I’ve played almost 10 hours since then and she never calls me. I tried calling her but she has nothing to say.

219 Spitfirealmost 4 yearsReport

Mines doing the same thing. It's litteraly u playable.. I have like 30 Freakin hours in too..

218 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

Can’t hear Panam talk when you first meet her

217 Spitfirealmost 4 yearsReport

Mines doing the same thing. I also didn't save and lost auto saves because I kept playing and thought it was supposed to be that way.. Now I'm stuck with the crap always on the screen.

216 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

Yeah me I had one at the start but now it came on again during The Heist

215 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

Bug Report: Delamain's character model keeps popping up in phone calls with other characters, usually overlaps on the character you're calling.

214 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

same here

213 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

Same thing but I didn't reload my save. The bug went away as soon as I switch back to a single monitor setup. Happens everywhere in the game as soon as u dont control your character (passenger in a car, sit at a bar, ... ) but the ripperdoc mission was the first time that stop me from progressing in a mission. I noticed it right at the beginning before trying to fix my nose after character creation.

212 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

Me too

211 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

There's another bug in the pickup mission but it's before you even go into the mission. It's where you have to talk to Jackie after visiting Meredith Stout. There's one more issue with Jackie where if you call him you will be put in an almost endless cycle of automatic calls where you have to constantly end the call. It's random when it ends or you can start another encounter for it to stop. Sometimes it'll just pick up afterwards and you will have to end the call a few times for it to quit.

210 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

I have that too, trying to fix it now by verifying the files, but I have yet to find a definite fix

209 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

Thank goodness i thought i was the only one with this bug. Same here after v jacks into the agent and reboot, the static effect remains for the rest of the game. It is annoying at best and downrighr unplayable at worst

208 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

When trying to leave the all foods factory for some reason my guns cannot reload. Im playing on Stadia

207 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

Have the same bug. Don't know how to fix it.

206 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

205 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

Anyone else having that problem on the “Both Sides, Now” mission where you cannot enter Judy’s apartment?! Its driving me crazy.

204 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

Same here :( Johnny's dialogue subtitle is stuck at the bottom of screen. It affects immersion VERY badly!

203 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

The mission the hunt, BD won't continue after finding all the clues in the first video.

202 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

It worked yesterday when I got it but after the latest update nothing. I thought updates were to fix bugs

201 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

In character creator, model has fixed hair beard cyber ware and body tattoos. Cycling through option will layer different types on top of or beneath, but will not remove original. For example, model starter with green Mohawk. Trying to change hairstyle will add bangs or long hair, but green Mohawk will remain on top. PS4 PRO version 1.04

200 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

I am stuck on the heist, after putting on the militech suit the Delamain I'm supposed to enter to ride in is upside down. I have tried to reload at multiple save points, closed the app and restarted the app, played another side mission and came back, went to the apartment and slept then came back, still nothing I'm stuck after 10 hours of gameplay. Fuck this shit.

199 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

Im having the exact same issue. I have finished both other main quest lines and now im waiting for a call that has never been returned. I cant progress any further in the main story because he wont return the call.

198 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

same here, been trying to just wait and do other quests. She'll never start the call.

197 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

reload before you leave taka and make sure to finish the dialogue with him and then skip 24 hrs

196 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

Down on the Street, Talk to wakako is broken. Tried 10 times but she doesn't trigger the event to talk to you and her bodyguard blocks the door so you cant leave without reloading an older save game.

195 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

Can’t get past “Automatic Love” cause the bodyguards are broken and refuse to talk to me. I’ve tried closing, re-opening the game and nothing. Dying doesn’t work either, and I have no saves from before that call. So I’m stuck out of a mission.

194 Anonymousalmost 4 yearsReport

I wanted to like this game, but the bugs are just insane. It is unplayable at this point. I'm running on a GTX 1080 .. looks fine.. FPS is acceptable.. but I can't get past the Dexter DeShawn car ride on Nomad. Game crashes every single time. Character mouths don't move when they talk. Some NPCs were just floating in the air. This is garbage.
