Cyberpunk 2077is aridiculously large game. ThePhantom Libertyexpansion adds a whole heap of content in addition to a new district. While it is a single-player game that functions entirely offline, a rarity these days, that doesn’t mean it isn’t prone to crashing. Unfortunately, these crashes have been more prevalent since the release ofPhantom Liberty.
Why does Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty keep crashing?
While developer CD Projekt Red has acknowledged that performance for the sci-fi title will be improved withPatch 2.01, details about alleviating crashes are amiss. There are many reasons a game could be crashing, however, adjusting the following two took my experience of numerous crashes each play session to 0.000001.
Fix #1
The first thing is todisable cross-platform Saves. This alone dropped my crash rate to virtually nothing. For whatever reason, this feature triggers something in the game to simply stop responding. It would happen whenever transitioning to a new area by driving or usingFast Travel Points. It would happen when answering the phone or beginning a face-to-face conversation. Essentially anything that triggered an auto-save was rolling the dice on the game not crashing.
Fix #2 (PC)
The second best fix is to ensure your GPU drivers are up to date. BothNvidiaandAMDhave released a few updates to supportCyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty. While old drivers might work, the latest are designed to help run the title, and believe me, this game needs all the help it can get.
