Hello World,

following feedback we have received in the last few days, both from users and moderators, we are making some changes to clarify our ToS.

Before we get to the changes, we want to remind everyone that we are not a (US) free speech instance. We are not located in US, which means different laws apply. As written in our ToS, we're primarily subject to Dutch, Finnish and German laws. Additionally, it is our discretion to further limit discussion that we don't consider tolerable. There are plenty other websites out there hosted in US and promoting free speech on their platform. You should be aware that even free speech in US does not cover true threats of violence.

Having said that, we have seen a lot of comments removed referring to our ToS, which were not explicitly intended to be covered by our ToS. After discussion with some of our moderators we have determined there to be both an issue with the ambiguity of our ToS to some extent, but also lack of clarity on what we expect from our moderators.

We want to clarify that, when moderators believe certain parts of our ToS do not appropriately cover a specific situation, they are welcome to bring these issues up with our admin team for review, escalating the issue without taking action themselves when in doubt. We also allow for moderator discretion in a lot of cases, as we generally don't review each individual report or moderator action unless they're specifically brought to admin attention. This also means that content that may be permitted by ToS can at the same time be violating community rules and therefore result in moderator action. We have added a new section to our ToS to clarify what we expect from moderators.

We are generally aiming to avoid content organizing, glorifying or suggesting to harm people or animals, but we are limiting the scope of our ToS to build the minimum framework inside which we all can have discussions, leaving a broader area for moderators to decide what is and isn't allowed in the communities they oversee. We trust the moderators judgement and in cases where we see a gross disagreement between moderatos and admins' criteria we can have a conversation and reach an agreement, as in many cases the decision is case-specific and context matters.

We have previously asked moderators to remove content relating to jury nullification when this was suggested in context of murder or other violent crimes. Following a discussion in our team we want to clarify that we are no longer requesting moderators to remove content relating to jury nullification in the context of violent crimes when the crime in question already happened. We will still consider suggestions of jury nullification for crimes that have not (yet) happened as advocation for violence, which is violating our terms of service.

As always, if you stumble across content that appears to be violating our site or community rules, please use Lemmys report functionality. Especially when threads are very active, moderators will not be able to go through every single comment for review. Reporting content and providing accurate reasons for reports will help moderators deal with problematic content in a reasonable amount of time.

Update 2.2 for Cyberpunk 2077 is being rolled out on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S!

With this patch you’ll be able to express yourself like never before — it includes over 100 new customization options for V, adds CrystalCoat™ compatibility for select vehicle brands, introduces a brand-new TWINTONE™ color scheme feature for CrystalCoat™-compatible vehicles, and more! Photo Mode also received a major overhaul with new camera options, aspect ratios, light sources and posable NPCs, just to name a few things!

Read about all changes in the patch notes below.

New Features

• Rayfield's CrystalCoat™ technology, initially designed for Rayfield vehicles only, has now been adopted by other car manufacturers. You can now change the paint jobs on Herrera, Mizutani, Quadra and Villefort vehicles. Pro tip: Use CrystalCoat™ to fool the cops and lower your NCPD wanted level!

• Kiroshi presents TWINTONE™! As CrystalCoat™ continues to in gain popularity, TWINTONE™ takes your paint jobs to the next level. Simply scan a car with your Kiroshi optics, switch to the TWINTONE™ tab, then save the vehicle's color scheme for a small fee. You'll then be able to select the scheme in the TWINTONE™ database under the CrystalCoat™ menu. There, you'll also find generic color schemes for all CrystalCoat™-compatible vehicles as well as unique color schemes exclusive to the vehicle model from which they were copied. Please note that color scheme cloning is not authorized on vehicles that are linked to quests, belong to the NCPD or that are incompatible with CrystalCoat™ tech.

• All vehicles compatible with CrystalCoat™ and TWINTONE™ are marked with a spray can icon on Autofixer.

The ten most requested vehicles from the streets of Night City are now available for purchase on Autofixer:

• Mizutani Shion MZ1

• Mizutani Shion Targa MZT

• Thorton Galena GA32t

• Thorton Colby CST40

• Archer Quartz EC-L r275

• Quadra Type-66 640 TS

• Quadra Type-66 680 TS

• Mizutani Hozuki MH2

• Villefort Deleon V410-S Coupe (Phantom Liberty only)

• Mahir Supron FS3-T (Phantom Liberty only)

• Following Act 1, Johnny will now sometimes appear in the passenger seat while V is driving to comment on and react to what's happening.

We've overhauled Photo Mode and added multiple community-requested features:

• Drone Camera is now a free camera instead of an orbital camera centered around V.
• Increased camera range.
• Full Collision (ON/OFF) - determines whether the camera respects in-game object collisions.
• Lock Camera (ON/OFF) - locks the camera to avoid misclicking and ruining the frame.
• Precise Camera (ON/OFF) - slows the camera down for easier aiming.
• Aspect Ratio (PC-only. Custom-resolution screenshots are not available on consoles. Console systems can only export images in the standard 16:9 format.)
• Characters tab: Spawn up to 3 NPCs for your photo, with a list of over 20 characters to choose from. You can adjust their expression, pose and position.
• Lighting tab: Spawn and adjust light sources.
• Fixed the Depth of Field ghosting issue.
• Added an Effect Intensity slider.

• SmartFrames™ by Kiroshi allows you to display your Photo Mode shots in-game by interacting with the picture frames in V's apartments. Browse your photo collection in the new Gallery menu tab located alongside Journal, Shards and Tarot. The Gallery pulls .png images from the screenshots folder on your PC or from your console gallery. For more details on SmartFrames™ and the Gallery, see this Support article.

Added more character customization options:

• 32 eye colors
• 18 lip makeup types
• 17 nail colors
• 10 cheek makeup types
• 16 eye makeup types
• 4 face scars
• 5 eyebrow shapes
• 4 face tattoos
• 2 body tattoos
• 8 cosmetic face cyberware options

• Upgraded the Character Creator randomizer to feature a new Plain-to-Punk slider. Whether you're aiming for an understated, casual look or a bold, edgy style for your V, you can now use the slider to strike the perfect balance.
• Added more secrets to discover in Night City.

Quests & Open World

• Rephrased objectives for quests that tell you to wait a specific amount of time to progress. The game is designed in a way that doesn't always allow players to simply skip in-game time to advance the objective, instead requiring them continue playing to trigger the next event.
• Cyberpsycho Sighting: Where the Bodies Hit the Floor - Fixed an issue where no shard could be found on the cyberpsycho's body, blocking progress.
• Dream On - The Trauma Team AV on the roof will now be properly hidden in stealth mode.
• Heroes - Fixed an issue where the quest, despite being completed, could remain marked as incomplete in the Journal with the optional objectives "Talk to Padre" and "Talk to the Valentinos."

Phantom Liberty-Specific

• Balls to the Wall - Fixed an issue where it was impossible to exit the elevator and talk to Yuri because of an invisible wall.
• Firestarter - Fixed an issue where fast travel could be blocked if the player saved the game soon after exiting Reed's car.
• Gig: Waiting for Dodger - After being freed, Bill and Charles will now be more mindful of their driving and avoid running over Dodger’s goons, preventing any unnecessary combat.
• Hi Ho Silver Lining - The VIP section in the Heavy Hearts club will now be accessible to players who couldn't meet with Mr. Hands due to a keycard being required to use the elevator.
• I've Seen That Face Before - The garage door preventing players from reaching the meeting point will now be open.
• Run This Town - The elevator in the Heavy Hearts club is now back in service, so V can finally meet with Mr. Hands.
• Somewhat Damaged - Fixed an issue where the prompt to unplug the cables from the Neural Network system was missing.
• The Killing Moon - Fixed the issue of a wall blocking the path when carrying Songbird to the shuttle.

Gameplay

• Fixed one of the katana finisher animations so that it properly decapitates enemies.
• Iconic Synapse Burnout and Iconic System Collapse quickhacks will now be properly affected by the RAM cost reduction buff.
• The icons for Tier 5+ and 5++ Behavioral Imprint-synced Faceplate will now be visible on the HUD while driving.
• Fixed an issue causing the Synaptic Accelerator to stay active indefinitely if the player is detected while not in combat.
• The car horn will no longer honk when the player reloads a weapon during vehicle combat while playing with a controller.
• Fixed an issue where the NCPD could stop functioning properly after V engages in a shootout in Pacifica between the Voodoo Boys and Trauma Team.

Miscellaneous

• Fixed an issue where TV program sound was muted or too quiet.
• Fixed an issue where CrystalCoat™did not apply properly after entering a vehicle.
• Due to popular demand, we've lowered the Trauma Drama high scores.
• Adjusted V’s mouth movement in various scenes, including the endings.

• Fixed ray-traced shadows for V in Photo Mode.

PC-Specific
