Cyberpunk 2077 security vulnerability exposed that leaves PCs open to malicious code; CDPR promises a quick turnaround for a fix | today People have discovered a new issue affecting Cyberpunk 2077, and it is one that could allow the execution of malicious code on your PC. CDPR blames external DLLs and claims that it will fix the problem soon. However, people apparently warned CDPR of the issue before it released Hotfix 1.11. Cyberpunk Engine Tweaks has reputedly already addressed the vulnerability, though.
CDPR tried to throw the Cyber Engine Tweaks team under the bus, they weren't having it and put them on blast: Someone get the recording of that conference call with Nvidia
SMH. That's pathetic, and the blame being on lack of unit testing passes the smell test. Just another casualty of overworked engineers trying to ship the product under stressful conditions.
The shenanigans continue despite their claims of "owning it' in the aftermath of the launch debacle. I was sad over the game launch but had hope they would find their path again. Trust is hard to get as a business and so many would have killed to have CDPRs reputation. Shameful to be giving it up in this way fully knowing you're under a microscope. Especially when they could have just folded it into and as a part of the rushed launch mess which they've already taken their licks for and walked away. An appalling failure of leadership.
That's the sad part... I feel that poor management decisions ended up killing this. They shouldn't have pushed so hard to make the imaginary launch date they set. They shouldn't have set that date to begin with. I see this in my line of work all too often. Management pushes some completely unreasonable deadline to the customer while us, the engineers and devs keep telling them there's absolutely no way we're making that deadline, yet the PMs just look at their numbers and stick to the date... when it all hits the fan, of course it's our fault.
CDPR should not piss off the modders. It's the last people you want to screw around as they have the actual ability and passion to save and fix your game...
I dunno, I enjoyed my playtime in it. It wasn't the best game I've ever played by far, but I don't think it was trash. If it was I wouldn't have suffered through 150 hours of it no matter how much I've been yearning for it for 7 years. I have too many other games to play.
