Cyberpunk 2077 was released today, ie. December 10th, 2020. Fans have been waiting for the game for years, and the delays over the past year had frustrated quite a few of them. The reason for the delays was reportedly ironing out a lot of the bugs in the game and enhancing the player experience.

Various gamers and sources have claimed that simply updating the graphics driver on your PC can fix the issue. Reinstalling or updating the AMD or Nvidia drivers has been said to fix a lot of issues.

Turning the graphics level to low and then increasing it to find the “optimum level” has also been said to fix the issue.

Some players have also claimed that simply ensuring that the day 1 patch of Cyberpunk 2077 is installed (version 1.02) also worked to fix the bug.
