Quoting: M@GOidSpeaking of trailers from CD Projekt Red games, do you guys know if the killer fembot from the Cyberpunk trailer appears in the game?
Yes, she appears in actual Cyberpunk 2077 - search for Melissa Rory.

According to CDPR sources, Ciri went through trial of the grasses. I guess there will be a theme of restoring witcher schools in the game?

The trailer graphics is very realistic, but I wonder if this is really a realtime rendering and what kind of hardware it can run on now to achieve that?

UPDATE:

I missed that it mentioned pre-rendered. So not real time. That makes more sense.

Cyberpunk 2077 gets another big upgrade with more customisation and secrets in update 2.2

Quoting: JarmerInteresting that CDPR partnered with a 3rd party to do this update. I wonder why. Maybe they're helping them with other games right now and it was something to fill a short downtime?
I think the reason is that their main developers are all assigned to new games now. I actually didn't expect any updates due to that.

More secrets sounds interesting. I wonder what they added. I'm still yet to explore the whole FF:06:B5 thing.

Similar in some ways, but interface feels different. Try for yourself.

Overall I think it's pretty good.

Yep, ntdll-ForceBottomUpAlloc patchset did the trick for it, so take note unless you just want to use full Wine staging that includes it anyway.

Opened a thread on the forum for more focused discussion.

By the way, looks like Wine staging has some essential patches (besides for esync obviously) that are needed for it. Without it (using just wine + esync) the game often hangs on some virutal memory allocation. But this doesn't seem to happen with Wine staging.

Trying to build Wine with ntdll-ForceBottomUpAlloc patch from staging, since it seems related.

It hangs now very consistently after I finished the prologue and trying to enter the village.
