Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 1.2 will make police response time more realistic – TrueAchievements

CD Projekt Red has shared more info on what's coming with the next Cyberpunk 2077 patch, including a fix to stop NPCs spawning behind you, and a fix to make the police response time more realistic. At the moment, the Night City police Quick Response team is in fact so quick that NPCs will basically materialise behind you the second a law is broken. According to CDPR's development insight post, which is written in the style of a Night City news bulletin, Patch 1.2 will bring a fix for this. The Cyberpunk 2077 team says the patch "is an important step in addressing the behaviour of the police in our game. It should decrease the problem of NPCs spawning behind players' backs and create an impression that it takes some time for the police to arrive at the crime scene after the crime has been reported." You'll also see a recon drone pop up first, "to create the feeling of the police assessing the situation.

Patch 1.2 will also bring some changes to the game's driving model, including options for steering sensitivity. "Analysing feedback on our driving model suggested a lot of players were having issues with the speed of the steering," CDPR says. "Most complaints came from players using keyboards on PC or were on platforms with lower frame rates, and centred around how hard it was to keep cars off the sidewalks and such." With Patch 1.2, you'll be able to slow the steering speed in the Options menu, and the steering speed will be "very consistent from 20 to 60+ FPS." A new vehicle subsystem, meanwhile, will stop you getting stuck while driving, allowing players "to rotate or rock their vehicles back and forth in order to regain traction."

CDPR says Patch 1.2 "goes beyond any of our previous updates" and these aren't the only changes included, as we'll get the full patchnotes soon. We still don't have a release date for the patch, which was delayed after a cyber attack on CDPR, but it should be arriving sometime soon. We'll keep you posted.
