Cyberpunk Patch 2.11 Releases With Vehicle Improvements

Another patch has been released for Cyberpunk 2077 which has introduced a handful of fixes for common issues as well as some big improvements for vehicle handling, and a new feature for Rayfield cars.

Cyberpunk Patch 2.11

Patch 2.11 is the latest update for Cyberpunk 2077 and going into the key meat and gravy of this update which mostly goes around vehicles. The suspension on both bikes and traffic vehicles have been improved visually to reduce clipping into the roads, additionally tyre tracks will now be more accurate.

Brake Torque Vectoring has been added to the drive model simulation which effectively reduces understeer on vehicles which used to suffer from it when hard braking, this goes alongside improvements to braking as a whole. Several vehicles have also been retuned and improved, and drifting handling has been improved as well.

A new CrystalCoat feature has been added which allows you to change vehicle paint colour but only on Rayfield cars as the in game lore states this is a technology developed by Rayfield. Its a strange decision, but I’m sure there’s a good reason.

For PC users a new Hybrid CPU Utilization setting has been added with the option of either “auto”, letting the OS decide how to distribute threads among cores, or “Prioritize P cores”. A fix has also been added to improve performance on RX Vega GPUs.

With “Cycle Stations with Button Press”, effortlessly switch between radio stations by simply pressing the Radioport button without the need to open the Radio menu.

Vehicles

• Motorcycle suspension has been improved to reduce visual clipping into roads and curbs. Braking is also improved. Some vehicles, including cars and trucks, will now better handle landing from big jumps.

• Retuned or improved tuning in various vehicles. This includes: Mizutani Hozuki MH1, MH2 and “Hoseki”, Villefort Deleon V400, V410 Coupe and “Vindicator”, Thorton Colby CST40, Mahir Supron FS3-T, Chevillon Centurion 1000, Quadra Type 66 “Hoon”, and more.

Implemented various small changes to improve drifting in most vehicles:

PC-specific

• Added a Hybrid CPU Utilization setting, which can be found under Gameplay → Performance. It can be set either to “Auto” (lets the operating system automatically decide how to distribute threads among the cores) or “Prioritize P-Cores” (prioritizes performance cores). It is set to “Auto” by default.
• Implemented a fix that improves performance, especially on AMD RX Vega GPUs.

Misc

• Added the CrystalCoat feature which allows you to change vehicle paint color. Because this technology was developed exclusively by Rayfield, it is currently only available for Rayfield vehicles you own.
• Controller Inner Dead Zone has been changed to new default values for players who didn’t change them, as keeping the old default values could result in stick drift.
• Fixed an issue where the door in the Megabuilding H10 apartment wouldn’t automatically close in some cases.

REDmod

• Updated the address list for modders.
