Update on January 28: CDPR has pushed out a 1.eleven hotfix update today that corrects the game-breaking bug introduced in the ane.1 update and also restores item randomization.

Cyberpunk 2077 has certainly had one of the rockier game launches in recent history, but it did narrowly discover its way onto our best games of the year 2022 as when it does play properly information technology is an excellent game.

Unfortunately, the latest 1.ane update that was meant to accost some of the existing bugs brought with a meaning new trouble that will stop yous dead in your tracks on the "Down on the Street" quest that as well halts your progress in the main story (via Engadget).

The new bug involves an NPC in the mission, Goro Takemura, that needs to call yous in social club for the mission to proceed. While the call still occurs as expected, he doesn't say anything to you and the mission can't move forward. Obviously this is a far unlike upshot than the gameplay relied woes that have plagued the game then far, but at this point CDPR certainly doesn't need to invite any other criticism for the game.

We're working on the upshot where the conversation with Takemura may non first during the quest "Downward on the Street" for @CyberpunkGame and plan to release a Hotfix to address it as before long as possible.In the meantime, here's a potential workaround👇https://t.co/ujjxb8snGuJanuary 25, 2022

CDPR is already at work on a Hotfix, so hopefully this won't hold anyone up as well long. In the meantime, at that place is a potential workaround if you lot don't want to wait for the set up, but be aware that it requires starting from a save state before Takemura and V have left Wakako's office.

Consummate the conversation with Takemura while still outside of the function.
Following the finished chat and after the quest is updated, skip 23h.
Now run into if the holocall triggers and the dialogue with Takemura gain every bit expected.

Hopefully, CDPR will rectify this new glitch apace and a more significant 1.ii update is on its style soon that will address more of the existing complaints, presumably without calculation any new ones this time.
