    I held off on Cyberpunk since even after the performance and bug issues were mostly fixed, I kept hearing complaints about stats and upgrade systems. I heard the next update is going to make a ton of changes and fix the gameplay, but I decided to buy the game now and play a bit so I can see the before/after.

    According to steam I have 4 hours in-game, but really that was 2 hours of tweaking settings to try and fix a stuttering issue that made the game unplayable. Turns out my mouse being set to 1000hz polling was the problem; lowered my mouse to 500hz and the game runs smoothly. That has never been a problem for me in any Unity or Unreal game, if RedEngine can’t support 1000hz the least they could do is add a popup to tell me that’s what the issue is so I don’t waste time toggling every setting and reinstalling drivers for no reason. After that I spent like an hour customizing my character, and in the hour in which I was actually playing the game I made my way through some of the intro/tutorial missions.

    Not a good experience starting out, but I’m hoping to have enough time this week to finish the intro stuff and finally be able to run around the city.
