Out of curiosity - will deleting and reinstalling the game will be enough?

A shame. After 2.0 patch I finally played a long campaign, till end year, and had lots of fun. Was really looking forward for this game...

Two days after 2.0 update and game recent reviews in Steam finally climbs over 70%. (Now it's "mostly positive", 73%).

Tried the game for a second time yesterday (first time was in 2019, when it was released) and the game looks promising so far. There is a decent chance that I will stay around this time. :).

P. S. One I:R video [External Link] I particularly liked yesterday. Maybe it will serve as advertising...

Quoting: headless_cyborgPeople complain about lack of cross-platform MP yet many buy it on sites like Fanatical where it's most likely counted as Windows purchase. That's a part of the problem.
Just bought Deluxe edition on Steam to support RPG Linux devs, we need more games like this supported natively.
I don't get it.
You buy it on fanatical, you give your money to the linux developer which is the same of the windows version.
You activate on steam, you play on steam, they know you are on linux.

What am i missing here? Seriously.
We know that the OS is evaluated in the weeks after the sale. It might be the case that these keys already count as sold, so the target OS is already set in stone - and it defaults to Windows.
Such thing is possible, I think. And now I'm suddenly worried about my backer key...
:(.

Use a hex editor on the Cyberpunk2077.exe.
Replace "75 30 33 C9 B8 01 00 00 00 0F A2 8B C8 C1 F9 08" with "EB 30 33 C9 B8 01 00 00 00 0F A2 8B C8 C1 F9 08".
Replace "55 48 81 ec a0 00 00 00 0f 29 70 e8" with "c3 48 81 ec a0 00 00 00 0f 29 70 e8".
Do you know what this changes ? (the exe patch)
There are reports that Cyberpunk is not utilizing SMT [External Link] (Simultaneous Multi-Threading) in Ryzen CPU's (i. e, it using only half cores of the CPU, ignoring all "logical" cores). Didn't try it myself, but first string in Hex fix above is supposed to fix it. Not sure about what second string do...

Quoting: TriasLooks like I would need more and more staff I understand less and less on my system. Giving up. I guess I'll wait for Mesa 21 release while trying to uninstall everything I installed today... :).
you can always resort to oibaf ppa
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
I'm using Oibaf driver PPA on daily basis for quite a long time.
Can anyone please confirm that C2077 works with these (current) Oibaf drivers?
Quoting: tuubiTrias confirmed it works with Mesa from either Oibaf's or Kisak's PPA earlier in this thread. Mind that he has different hardware than you do.
Yep, tested and confirming both. Currently both Oibaf and Kisak PPA's are good for CP2077.

Quoting: tuubi
Quoting: Liam Daweif you have an AMD GPU and you don't mind grabbing the latest development code for the Mesa graphics drivers
Just as a heads up to people on Ubuntu and derivatives, no need for latest development code as it seems like Kisak's latest Mesa 20.3.0 stable packages include support for the VK_VALVE_mutable_descriptor_type extension already, along with other useful backports. Hopefully this makes it easier for some of you to play CP2077.
Ah, Kisak updated his PPA just 14 hours ago... Good to know, but unfortunately I already switched to oibaf PPA. :(.

Edit:
O. K, for the first time ever made a good use of my Linux Mint's Timeshift. Restored yesterday environment, stayed on Kisak's PPA.
Can confirm - with latest Kisak's Mesa (20.3.0~kisak3~f) "black environment" graphical bugs are gone. Everything is good. :).
Thanks for pointing it out! :).
