A new Cyberpunk 2077 mod released online today introduces a fix for a major path tracing issue that impacts visuals considerably while also introducing some new HD textures. The Preem Fixes mod, which can be downloaded from Nexus Mods, addresses the stationary shadow mesh seen phasing through cloth, an issue that has been in the game since its implementation of path tracing but has yet to be fixed. The fix, however, renders cloth flat, and it doesn't interact with light as it should. In addition, a second version of the mod also introduces new HD textures for cloth, which look […]
This morning, modder MerseyRockoff published a new, interesting The Witcher 3 mod on Nexus. The mod restores a series of boat races cut from the final game, leveraging the recent release of the REDKit tool made by CD Projekt RED.

Only the text and audio files were found; the rest were created from scratch based on CDPR's writing and careful examination of the files. This means that all the conversations, characters, notices, […]

Associate Game Director Paweł Sasko also shared a specific example: Cyberpunk 2077, which was made in Poland, had the wrong manhole covers for a […]
German YouTube channel 'Digital Dreams' has released a new Cyberpunk 2077 showcase, aiming to imitate real life. We've covered plenty of graphical showcases for CDPR's hit title, including several from Digital Dreams.

Files for a canceled Cyberpunk 2077 DLC expansion surfaced online, providing new information on the expansion and new lore that could hint at some of the events that will happen in the second entry in the series. The files, as reported on the Gaming Leaks and Rumors subreddit, confirm how the expansion was supposed to take place during a new corporate war, an event that a lot of in-game text suggested was going to happen at some point, and that the moon map would have been around six square kilometers big (for reference, Night City is around 24 square kilometers […]
