Cyberpunk 2077 got patch 2.21, added NVIDIA DLSS 4 and got even more technologically advanced

Cyberpunk 2077 receives a significant update (2.21) from CD Projekt RED, featuring performance enhancements and bug fixes. A key addition is support for NVIDIA's DLSS 4 technology, boosting frame rates, particularly for GeForce RTX 50 series card owners. This enhancement becomes available on January 30th. DLSS 4 also improves frame generation speed on RTX 40 and 50 series cards while reducing memory usage.

Furthermore, all GeForce RTX users can now choose between the convolutional neural network and the new transform model for DLSS Ray Reconstruction, Super Resolution, and DLAA. The transform model provides superior lighting, detail, and image stability.

This update also addresses several gameplay issues:

  • Resolved: Inability to interact with certain vendors.
  • Resolved: Missing or low volume audio for TV news broadcasts.
  • Resolved: Infrequent appearance of Johnny Silverhand in the passenger seat.
  • Resolved: Disappearance of items when hiding nearby characters.
  • Resolved: Game freezes when simultaneously entering Photo Mode and accessing a closet or stash.
  • Enhanced: Photo Mode now allows placement of Nibbles and Adam Smasher even when V is in water or mid-air.
  • Improved: Adam Smasher's facial expression adjustments.

The update resolves interference and crashes related to DLSS ray reconstruction and ensures correct "Frame Creation" parameter updates after disabling resolution scaling.
