Troubleshooting
Fixes to common problems
Please ensure the following:
- 1.If you have modified your game's .exe file yourself, the mod will not work - to undo this, delete the file and verify your game through GOG, Steam or Epic to download a fresh copy of the newest exe.
- 2.Update your game. You are using a patch that is not supported. Only current versions are supported. (current version is 1.6)
- 3.You used the old version of the mod and still have the old files installed. Delete bin/x64/plugins/ and reinstall the mod.
- 4.Do a repair on your installation with no other mod files installed (redscript, cet, et cetera) then install CET as you normally would and check the log file. If it still isn't working, uninstall cyberpunk 2077 and do a complete wipe of the install folder.
Install this - if nothing happens, please make sure all of your overlays and monitoring programs are disabled. There is a list of known programs that cause issues below. If you find one not on the list, contact Arsenic_Touch via the discord.
Cyber Engine Tweaks no longer comes with a config file, one is generated when you first launch the mod.
When first launching cyber engine tweaks, it will prompt you to pick a keybind. Tilde is no longer the default. Keyboard input is blocked until a keybind is chosen. If you do not see the pop up, look below for further troubleshooting steps.
Certain programs conflict with the hook that Cyber Engine Tweaks use to display the console - to avoid this, disable any software with overlays that may impact the mod (some examples below). This includes crashing the game or not launching at all. OBS graphics-hook32.dll and graphics-hook64.dll can also interfere. Do a search of your windows files to see if you have a program running them. For rivatuner, you can also open the Global file with notepad++, which is located in RivaTuner Statistics Server\ProfileTemplates and add cyber_engine_tweaks.asi to the end of the decimal in the line: InjectionDelayTriggers

Please verify that:
- 1.Your version of Cyberpunk is compatible with the newest release on GitHub or Nexus (this can be seen in the menu, underneath "Quit Game")
- 3.
- 4.You have verified that the log found in
bin/x64/plugins/cyber_engine_tweaks/cyber_engine_tweaks.logis 'last modified' at the same time and date as your most recent attempt to launch the game - 5.Remove all previous mods in the mods folder and try to launch the game. If it works, add your mods back one by one until you find the one that breaks CET. Some mods can break CET completely or change the overlay colour if they are not up to date.
- 1.Make sure cyber engine tweaks and your mods are installed with hardlink deployment If hardlink doesn't show up under vortex, make sure the Vortex Mods folder is on the same partition as the game mods folder. This explains it more.
- 2.Make sure you're using the most up to date vortex plugin for cyberpunk 2077. Check the #vortex-support channel on the discord for the latest information.
There are six possible solutions to this:
- 1.Ensure your game is in Windowed Borderless mode - Cyberpunk will usually make itself the topmost application on your screen if in fullscreen.
- 2.
- 3.Make sure your game is up to date and you are using the latest version of Cyber Engine Tweaks and that you installed it properly. (do a clean install by deleting the plugins folder, LICENSE, global.ini, version.dll files if you are running into a problem)
- 4.Run the game as administrator. (this works for some people where other methods have failed)
- 5.Check to make sure your antivirus software is not removing or blocking cyber engine tweaks.
- 6.Do a complete reinstall of cyberpunk 2077.
- 1.Delete the bindings.json file located in
bin/x64/plugins/cyber_engine_tweaks/and start your game, the overlay will to choose a new keybind should come up. If it doesn't, check the known list of programs that can interfere.
Please ensure you attempt deleting and reinstalling the mod before submitting an issue! Alternatively, consider asking in the Discord server. Additionally, please check to ensure your issue has not already been reported!
