What’s your source that Saber “botched it”? Right now I’m assuming it’s your ar*e. Saber weren’t allowed to finish the job because CDPR wanted to virtue signal over the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

All you have is a strawman and ad hominem. We have an observable decline in game quality from TW3 to CP2077, what changed in that time? CDPR started towing the line to appeal to US industry standards, they started hiring more Western developers and there was an exodus of senior staff who had worked on TW trilogy. It could all be coincidence, but there more logical reasoning to my theory than your narrative of Saber being incompetent.

As I said in a different reply, you have provided no proof for your claim. The actual fact is that Saber weren’t allowed to finish the job because CDPR wanted to virtue signal over the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

You must be new to this site. Everything is viewed through the lens of a culture war. Empiricism is completely ignored and incompetence due to race is automatically assumed (even though buggy releases have been a thing since the dawn of videogaming)

It hasn’t been announced yet so at least another month

The problem is they got conned by a group of Russian developers who falsely claimed they could make the Red Engine work in DX12 when they OBVIOUSLY didn’t do a damned thing in the year plus they worked on the project before CDPR took it back. CDPR simply doesn’t have the available developers to work on both Cyberpunk and Witcher 3 at the same time and since the CP DLC is a paid expansion and a critical income source they aren’t going to pull them off to work on a free update.

It means he is a racist misogynist that believes only lily White straight males are capable of understanding computers, science, and technology. Never mind that the original developers of the update where white Russian males that didn’t do jack sh*t in the year they were working on it and left CDPR a steaming pile of crap to work witrh

Best left ignored to wallow in their own misery

Actually, and I swear I’m not racist or anything, the studio that was working on it initially is known for their Vulkan prowess. So yeah, if they had done the work it would probably be much better

ETA on the Cyberpunk DLC?

It’s a threading issue in the game engine core. CDPR hired outside developers from Russia who obviously conned them into believing they knew what they were doing when they did not.

You simply cannot use the same DX11 threading model for DX12, you have to rewrite the core of the game engine itself. The people who are capable of doing that are too busy right now working on Cyberpunk’s paid DLC which is why they farmed it out to a 3rd party in the first place
