You can find the specific code below, while McVicker advised:

1.3 broke all the mods. Everything. It broke everything. It signifies that, on the engine level, everything has changed.

That'll prove disheartening to existing modders, who may find their previous work is now entirely redundant, including the recently touted "Megamod".

However, this should be an important step behind-the-scenes to fix Cyberpunk 2077's wider issues, which saw no end of criticism at launch. For those interested, you can watch McVicker's full breakdown below.

Following Update 1.3, Cyberpunk 2077 introduced several new gameplay fixes alongside a slate of free DLC. While we're unsure what Update 1.4 will offer, CD Projekt Red's previous post-launch roadmap advised the next step would be the free next-gen console update. As always, we'll keep you informed when more information comes to light.
