Please Read if: You're getting 'Cyberpunk 2077 has flatlined' when launching.

Hello. If you are here and you are reading this because you keep getting 'Woah! Cyberpunk 2077 has flatlined!' Error, read on.

 

I've tried almost every and all fixes that were described in the GOG, Steam forums and the official CDPR site. None of them worked. Even tried the unofficial hexedits that were for AMD users. Nothing seemed to work.

 

 

It turns out, I was running a very dated Windows version and never bothered to update. (Yeah, I brought into the fear pandering in 2015 that windows would update in the middle of a game or work and you'd lose data.)

 

So, if you're on Windows 10 and having issues running the game, try updating to the latest version of Windows 10. I'm now on 20H2. You can upgrade right now, it's free. Look up 'Windows 10 Update Assistant' on the Microsoft site.

 

TL;DR; Update your Windows, people. Seriously. Windows 8 and 8.1 probably will get the same issues, so keep your OSes up to date! It only takes a second. Or at the worst case, half an hour to 2 hours of your time, and can be done overnight!

Hey thanks for posting this! I was worried that might be the issue... I've tried to update my Windows 10 for several years now and it always fails. I guess I won't be playing Cyberpunk on my current rig then :sad: . Have fun for me though!
