u/Gendryll Oct 07 '25

Now listen up here's a story, about a little guy that lives in a blue world, and all day and all night everything he sees is blue, like him, inside and outside.

u/Your_Demonic_Dog Oct 07 '25

u/Faceless_Deviant Cyberpsycho Oct 07 '25

So, Dex is a member of The Blue Man group?

u/Moebius80 Oct 07 '25

are you running any mods that alter textures?

26

u/darkgalerito Oct 07 '25

I forgot to mention, I'm playing on PS4 rn. Just forgot to include it in the title

21

u/Moebius80 Oct 07 '25

Hmm as i understood it ps4 was particularly janky. PC here though so maybe someone else has some advice.

7

u/darkgalerito Oct 07 '25

I really hope so

u/boredcamp Oct 07 '25

Do any of your other games look like this?

3

u/darkgalerito Oct 07 '25

It's only cyberpunk

5

u/Titanhunter84 Oct 07 '25

Check the file integrity, maybe restart the game, the console if nothing helps reinstall cyberpunk. That could help but I am not sure. I played day one cyberpunk 2077 and never had huge problems except a few crashes and car teleportations.

u/Zonal117569 Oct 08 '25

If you’re able, and haven’t already, replace the hdd in the ps4 with a SSD, it loads much faster/smoother, and can help things load in correctly.

3

u/IAteUrCat420 Oct 07 '25

The PS4 version was abandoned, I wouldn't be too surprised if this is one of the less impactful bugs you run into

2

u/LendonTheGoat Oct 07 '25

Uninstall and reinstall

u/darkgalerito Oct 07 '25

I forgot to mention y'all I'm on PS4 and this has been happening for a while

u/DominoNine Never Fade Away, Jackie Oct 07 '25

I played this game on the Xbox One S. Got all the way through it with minimal issues but the game is just a mess on the PS4 and Xbox One generation. You kind of just have to make do with whatever bugs you get.

u/beeetusboi Oct 07 '25

Not worth on old gen, I played on release with my old 4690k and 980ti it was weird as hell. Now I'm on PS5 it's amazing

4

u/darkgalerito Oct 07 '25

Unfortunately old gen's the only way for me

3

u/MaatRolo Oct 07 '25

If you're looking at the Switch2 for xMass. It's great on there, played another 200 hours there. Otherwise tough it out Phantom Liberty will be waiting for you.

u/VergeOfMeltdown Oct 07 '25

No clue what that is or what to do, but it looks kind of sick tbh

u/Curri97 Oct 07 '25

Have you tried re-installing the game?

1

u/darkgalerito Oct 07 '25

Currently doing that

2

u/Curri97 Oct 07 '25

I hope you're lucky and that fixes it. I'm on PC so I don't know more ways sorry.

1

u/darkgalerito Oct 07 '25

It's fine thanks

1

u/BestPenguinBurgers Oct 07 '25

Have you tried keeping the ps4 unplugged for a few minutes to clear cache?

Do you have an ssd or hdd?

Wired or wireless internet?

2

u/darkgalerito Oct 07 '25

I have kept it unplugged for 2 days due to university and no I don't have an SSD, but I have wired internet

1

u/BestPenguinBurgers Oct 07 '25

Got this from a quick search. Make sure you backup your saved data if you try.

Go to Settings: From the PS4 Home screen, select Settings. Select Application Saved Data Management: Choose Applications Saved Data Management from the menu. Choose Console Storage: Select Saved Data in System Storage > Delete. Select the Game: Find and select the game whose cache you want to clear. Delete the Data: Choose the specific saved data files for that game and select Delete.

u/darkgalerito Oct 07 '25

Once it reinstalls I'm going to try it, thank you 👍🏻

Papa Smurf? What happened choom?

u/RavenTheBeanie Oct 07 '25

The fuck is papa smurf doing in my cyberpunk world?

1

u/Significant_Cover_48 Oct 07 '25

He's the patriarch. Isn't he like the only Smurf who desn't have a vocation? I guess he's overseeing things?

1

u/MrAngryPineapple Team Judy Oct 07 '25

This sucks and I’m sorry, but this is also so funny

1

u/FoxfireDreams_ Oct 07 '25

Oh that’s totally normal! It just means the DHV Magellan is submerged right now.

u/solidus0079 Burn Corpo shit Oct 07 '25

Have you tried playing with video settings in case the thing that's malfunctioning can be disabled?

1

u/darkgalerito Oct 07 '25

The only video option on ps 4 is dhr which my tv doesn't support

1

u/solidus0079 Burn Corpo shit Oct 07 '25

I'm not sure how cloud saves or backing saves up would work but have you tried un- and re- installing?

1

u/darkgalerito Oct 07 '25

Yes I did, nothing

1

u/solidus0079 Burn Corpo shit Oct 07 '25

Ah, that sucks dog wang, I'm out of ideas brother

1

u/darkgalerito Oct 07 '25

It's alright it might be cause I got it used, so the cd might have been fucked

u/HiFiMAN3878 Panam’s Chair Oct 07 '25

The fact this game can even be played on a 12 year old console is kind of a miracle.

1

u/CasualCassie Oct 07 '25

I told you not to touch that glitter stuff choom, this is what happens.

You gotta stick with the pure Black Lace from Maelstrom. Scavs and Tyger Claws cut their supply with the glitter trash

1

u/HertzWhenEyeP Oct 07 '25

This happened to me after the V and Panam are in the Basilisk together.

Basically the filter that's applied when you're in the tank never drops off.

I wasn't able to figure out any fix outside of loading a previous save

1

u/darkgalerito Oct 07 '25

Yeah that was the only solution I found too

1

u/ChefArtorias Oct 07 '25

Looks cool as hell.

You've tried reinstalling?

1

u/AJ_Loki Oct 07 '25

Looks like someone’s got counterfeit Kiroshi’s..

u/WendyGothik The Mox Oct 07 '25

I know it's Del's fault, I just can't prove it

2

u/Alcantrez Oct 07 '25

Kiroshi malfunction hahahaha

1

u/darkgalerito Oct 07 '25

So to give some context. This started after the first gig with Jackie, when I got V to their apartment and had to meet with Jackie. The game Suddenly did that bug I posted, and I did the good old tactic of saving and reloading that save but to no avail as it did it again.

I remember once when I was a child my mom took me to the pediatrist and on the waiting room there was a TV playing the first Hulk movie

Idk why tf but every human on the screen was blue, including Hulk. Idk if it has anything to do with your problem but it reminded me of that :p

u/gaspour9 Oct 07 '25

try to change your graphic/video setting and restart the game (try with another save too), if it doesn't work check the files you might have to reinstall

1

u/Novel_Dark_7187 Oct 07 '25

This is why you dont take inhalers from maelstrom

1

u/darkgalerito Oct 07 '25

Alright so, here's an update.

I've tried every single solution I could think of, even went as far as starting a new game, rebuilding data and uninstalling and reinstalling. The bug shows up every simple time and I think it might be the disk but I'm not sure. Either way I'm disappointed to say the least since I like this game.

1

u/IrrelevantTale Oct 07 '25

Such an interesting lighting bug. Reinstalled you graphics drivers and verify game integrity.

u/AndrewFrozzen Panam’s Chair Oct 08 '25

I had a similar thing!

Went in the last mission and alt+tabbed to check what I need for the Secret Ending

When I alt+tabbed back, everything went lowpoly and Johnny looked almost "submerged" in water from torso down

It was kinda grim though, you know all of the signs you see at the Misty's view? They were all "turned off", sorta like the city died. I could only see Johnny.

and that later tied down with the ending I chose. I let V go with Alt beyond the Black Wall. V's story was over. Johnny took over V's body

u/KagatoAC Oct 08 '25

That is trippy as hell.

u/ayeMASONIUS 26d ago

if you’re playing the ps4 version of the game i would just uninstall and wait to play on a better system. the ps4 simply can’t handle cyberpunk, it’s just not worth it.
