Highlights

• Patch 2.12 for Cyberpunk 2077 targets key binding issues on PC, fixing AZERTY keyboard problems and introducing new key assignments.

Cyberpunk 2077 has rolled out its latest update, Patch 2.12, with a focus on fixing issues like key binding and improving overall performance. Several issues were reported by players following Cyberpunk 2077’s previous patch. The new update targets various platforms, including PC and Xbox.

Cyberpunk 2077 is an open-world action role-playing video game developed and published by CD Projekt Red. Set in a dystopian future in the year 2077, the game is based on the Cyberpunk franchise. It blends elements of role-playing, first-person shooter combat, and immersive storytelling, offering players a vast array of choices that shape the narrative and the world around them. Cyberpunk 2077 is known for its detailed open world, complex characters, and deep narrative, although it faced significant criticism at launch for technical issues and performance glitches on various platforms.

After Cyberpunk 2077 update 2.11, players experienced various issues that CD Projekt Red aimed to rectify with Patch 2.12. For PC users, one of the notable fixes included is the resolution of key binding issues, particularly for players using AZERTY keyboards. Now, users can properly rebind functions such as Radioport and dropping bodies to different keys without encountering errors. Additionally, the T key has been assigned as the default key for switching quest objectives across all keyboard layouts.

The update also resolves stuttering problems related to the “Prioritize P-Cores” option. It also addresses a crash issue associated with Razer Chroma enabled devices, ensuring smoother gameplay for affected players. Moreover, a fix has been implemented to prevent NPC hair from appearing excessively bright inside vehicles when Ray Tracing is enabled. Xbox players will benefit from fixes targeting issues like the game entering infinite loading states or crashing when certain saves are used. The update also includes improvements across all platforms, such as better menu accessibility, updated quickhack descriptions, and enhanced visibility of the controller cursor, particularly benefiting Cyberpunk 2077 Steam Deck users.

Despite some Cyberpunk 2077 bugs still lingering, with Patch 2.12, the game takes another step towards optimizing performance and resolving technical issues.
