Looks fixed to me!
I was extremely leery of getting this game due to the absolutely horrid launch debacle. I did get it during the second week of June 2021 at version 1.22 and everything seems to work fine, though, so yay! Now I can't vouch for nVidia, since I have an Intel chipset and AMD 5700 XT GPU. The controls are literally smoothed to a fault, the view keeps moving a little after I quit moving the mouse even after I turned the look momentum off. That is my main gripe, though. The only other issue I have isn't performance, just gameplay: smart weapons are actually terrible, the largest punk gang (Tyger Claws) have innate jamming that you can't break and firing at them sends the smart bullets flying AWAY like they bounce off or flew through without damaging the locked-on target. And homing weapons do reduced damage, as well. Kinda sucky, but I mention it because it looked so weird that one of Google's main search sequences is variations of "cyberpunk 2077 smart gun bugged". Apparently it's NOT a bug, just an unnecessary nerf that removes an entire portion of the game's charm. Now I just want cheats (takes forever to build your character) and New Game Plus and things should be rockin'! FYI: Keanu Reeve's character is beneath him as an actor, IMHO. Johnny Silverhand is an unmitigated douche so far, but we will see if things improve. I'm 50 hours in, but just into Act 2 as I'm busy building my character and grabbing everything not nailed down to sell (shout out to Elder Scrolls for freeing me from all morality and turning me into an in-game kleptomaniac...) Lastly: CDPR went out of their way to include missions based on cyberpunk situations from all sorts of literature. Something for everyone, be it near-future warfare to Ghost in the Shell to body horror, metaphysical philosophy, and HEAVY vibes from Deus Ex and the original Shadowrun on SNES... with much more to do!
