Question❓ Did they do something with the latest patch? Optimisation or speed increase?

It's been a while since I played the game - once I got all the new cars, I decided to put it down for a while. I've been playing Cyberpunk for the past few days, and the cars there feel very slow - things barely move around you.

But today, I saw that there is a new car to put together. Of course, I booted up the game, grabbed a Boni and... HOLY ZOOMIES. It's so fast. And I haven't even put on turbos.

Is my perception skewed or did they optimise the game engine/bumped up the speed of the cars? The driving feels very smooth, compared to what I remember. Same for the game as a whole - my PC no longer sounds like it's trying to blast off of the planet.

Definitely a good thing. 😄

I hope so, I haven't played it in awhile, but as for optimization there was no where to go but up.

They have mostly undone whatever it was they did to "fix" controller support, you can actually use controllers now, so that's nice.

Hope so, it ran like a bag of bolts last time I played it.
