Cyberpunk 2077 and its Phantom Liberty enlargement have an issue with losing your time. CD Projekt Pink’s open-world RPG has a function the place it’s a must to wait an undetermined period of time for sure quests to activate, and that persists into Phantom Liberty. Even now, after the epic 2.0 replace revamped a bunch of the sport, it’s nonetheless making gamers wait round doing nothing, praying for the following mission to pop.
I suppose you may argue this can be a artistic alternative meant to encourage you to spend time dipping into aspect missions as a substitute of simply barreling by means of the primary quest. Cool, however then it’s a must to wait massive chunks of time earlier than you may get again to the quests you really wish to play. The largely glorious new Phantom Liberty enlargement has one of the vital egregious examples of this but, and it appears like a variety of gamers are scuffling with it.
The ultimate mission in certainly one of Phantom Liberty’s two routes is named “The Killing Moon.” With out entering into the specifics, some messy shit goes down and it’s a must to look forward to a telephone name from Songbird, the expert netrunner you meet firstly of the enlargement. Whereas I used to be enjoying Phantom Liberty for evaluate, I observed that this particular wait was most likely the longest I’d skilled in my three years of enjoying Cyberpunk 2077.
I killed time by utilizing the in-game wait function, knocking off side-quests, and aimlessly sprinting across the map in hopes that she’d lastly hit my line. Finally, I obtained the search to proc nevertheless it took days, perhaps weeks of in-game time. I mentioned this second with different reviewers who skilled the identical hassle, however we couldn’t pin down any actual throughline as to what lastly obtained Songbird to make the decision. It appeared arbitrary.
Now, the enlargement is out, and I used to be watching video producer and author Sam Greer stream the enlargement on her Twitch channel. It took her round 40 minutes to get the search to activate. This prompted me and different viewers to attempt to discover solutions as to what the hold-up was, and it seems that lots of people are working into this difficulty. There are a handful of Reddit threads about “The Killing Moon” and the painful wait to get again into the motion.
Some Redditors have instructed that it’s essential to full the search “Run This City,” which you get by way of a telephone name from Mr. Fingers, earlier than occasions will progress, however Greer was in a position to lastly proceed “The Killing Moon” with out finishing that different quest.
Kotaku has reached out to CD Projekt Pink concerning the difficulty and can replace the story ought to we hear again. However when you’re working into this downside, know you’re not alone, and the search is probably going not bugged. There’s conflicting info on easy methods to really get it transferring once more, although.
