Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 2.11 Fixes Finisher Animations, Adds Paint Change Feature for Rayfield Vehicles

For all intents and purposes, CD Projekt RED has ended its support for Cyberpunk 2077, but though the action RPG isn’t receiving any more notable content or gameplay additions, the developer is still continuing to release patches that further polish up the experience. Last week, CDPR confirmed that another new patch was on the way, and that patch has now gone live.

Patch 2.11 for Cyberpunk 2077 is focused largely on applying another coat of polish to the game, with the majority of its changelog covering the technical issues and bugs it fixes across both the base game and its expansion, Phantom Liberty.

Some of the more common issues that players have encounters have been addressed as well, like melee finishers that wouldn’t work properly at times, while CD Projekt RED has also added the CrystalCoat feature, which allows you to change vehicle paint color. This feature, however, is available only in Rayfield vehicles, since “this technology was developed exclusively by Rayfield”. You can check out the full patch notes below.

Like all updates for Cyberpunk 2077 since September 2022’s update 1.6, the newest patch is available only on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC versions of the game.

UI

• Added a Radioport category in Settings → Gameplay to customize Radioport behavior. Enable “Sync to Vehicle Radio” to keep the music playing after exiting a vehicle. 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. Enable “Save Current Station” to have the Radioport resume playing the radio station upon loading a saved game.

• Like the non-Iconic variants, Iconic quickhacks will no longer have the duration displayed in their descriptions.

Visual

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.
• Brake Torque Vectoring has been added to the Drive Model simulation. This change effectively reduces understeer on vehicles that previously used to suffer from it excessively when hard braking while turning (most noticeable on FWD and rear/mid-engined vehicles).
• 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.

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.
