if you guys seriously can't edit a couple simple lines of text in a couple files or even install a perfectly working mod, than maybe you should just stick to consoles for your gaming needs. you are going to run into issues similar to this in many games and many more to come.

yes, it's a bad decision to hard bind keys the way they have. but, for decades PC games have had this issue where some developers just have some absurd idea that they have designed the perfect key/button layout and it should not be edited.
but we almost always come up with a way to easily correct it.

I'm using the backup installers to update and I can't even update.

Game patch log
Error modifying S:\Games\Cyberpunk 2077\r6\config\inputUserMappings.xml

I "fixed" their nonsense and now I need to redownload the whole game.

Edit and mod? What freaking else... Yes I can do it but I won't. Till now I came across two games that I couldn't rebind, this and ELEX... and I refunded them both... If a game is released and you cant edit keybinds I don't buy it... FOV and rebinds should be standards... But many developers can't even do that right, don't settle for this crap.

always make backups of files that are getting modified, either by you or using 3rd party software/mods, especially with GOG games.
a lot of their patches will not continue when finding modified files and it will sometimes break the game because there hasn't been an "undo" variable figured into the patch.

i'm sure you can easily get someone to upload a copy of the original 1.04 file here or on Reddit, CS.RIN.RU, TORRMINATORR, etc.

you're really teaching them a lesson, minus one possible purchase out of millions.
you are only one suffering by missing out on great games due to being too lazy(or unintelligent) to figure how to do some simple edits.

only one? LOL! look at the forums,,, people are pissed.

Grats.
So how did it go?

Mine still crashes all over the place.
I even gave my computer the DDU treatment, not that it did anything. *sighs*

I used to always make backups but this time I didn't for some reason. I've now on 1.06 and it's running. Thanks for the more in-depth information. I didn't think that file would cause any sort of problems. The backup installers seem to be slow and shoddy in general however. 104 GB over 26/27 installer pieces for a game slightly under 60 GB is weird.

Ah well. Hope you had a great Christmas.

Better thing to do now is wait 2021 for the big updates.

Here's the rough roadmap CD Projekt Red has laid out for updates to Cyberpunk 2077:
December: One update by December 20th.
December/January: "Expect more, as we will update frequently whenever new improvements are ready"
January: Patch 1, the first "large" patch.
February: Patch 2, the second "large" patch.
TBD 2021: Next-gen console updates for PS5 and XSX.

Good to know. Thanks.

I actually found out that if I do a clean boot, not safe mode, but just going into msconfig and turning off everything non-microsoft in services and everything off in startup... that the game still crashes but doesn't do the hard crash where it won't start up again.

So at least I can play now. :-D

Good to know that the situation has improved, check the "xbox game bar" if you are using Windows 10, turn it off.

I'm on win7

Sorry for the delay, with all the xmas holidays and stuff, game runs great on those drivers, no crashes to desktop (even with the previous driver) and framerates are pretty solid, odd hiccup now and then (in vehicles) nothing dissapointing. I do get issues with some crappy textures on the old pink vintage cars though. Rest is fine. Hope you get a fix soon for your game/system. I wont be too anxious for updates because Im finishing my main playthrough clocked at 104 hours. Subjective opinion but Im totally underwhelmed with the length of this game, Had hopes it would play for hours and hours like witcher 3.

Wow... 104 hours is a long time.
I think the main time in this game, much like Witcher 3 is doing random wandering and finding those side missions, etc.

and thanks :-)

Indeed, focused on one ending and reloaded point of no return to finish off all the little things. Will be doing the alternate endings too and wait for the dlc I guess. Not much left on your plate after all that.
