Hackers, it's time to stop playing around with nasty workarounds, as CD Projekt has finally introduced a proper fix for the save-killing Down On The Street bug in last week's Cyberpunk 2077 patch 1.1.

After the release of Cyberpunk's latest patch, players soon discovered a rather serious bug in the "Down On The Street" quest. Previously, an NPC named Goro Takamura had failed to call the player, but now, when dialing V, he simply does not speak, but stares at you with an expressionless face from the zoom call at the side of the screen.

At the time, CD Projekt supported reloading previous saves and a bit of time travel as a temporary workaround. It was a tricky arrangement, especially considering that the patch fixed that quest's previous problem by introducing a new problem. However, with today's 1.11 hotfix, Down On The Street should finally work as intended.

The hotfix also fixes the save/load loot exploit introduced in patch 1.1, which reverted the loot randomization to its pre-update state. Despite these two issues, last week's update was a net positive, with dozens of fixes to stability issues and broken quests.

Previously, players used the Matrix to work around this issue.
