Cyberpunk 2077 suddenly stopped working after patch 2.21

Does anyone have issues running Cyberpunk 2077 after recent 2.21 update? It used to run flawlessly but now the game tucks at CDPR logo ang hangs. AFAIK my installation doesn't miss any critical dll libraries.

EDIT

Seems like an issue requiring new driver version from nVidia: https://youtu.be/dfXh3KGf1pE

I haven't fired it up for a few weeks, but just testing...will report when it finishes updating.

OK - fully updated, and tested, and working fine here.

Using Nvidia driver 565.77. I'm on testing, so maybe your Nvidia driver is behind mine?

As an aside, the new DLSS results in reduced performance, and I haven't a clue what raytracing does apart from reduce performance significantly. I can't tell the difference on an RTX 3090.

EDIT: OK - I'm lying. Use the new DLSS model, but do NOT use NVidia - use performance.

I went from 102 FPS to 108FPS in the benchmark just by playing with DLSS settings (I'm still turning Raytracing off).

Yes, There is an issue with RT or PT, some say that with Frame Gen. When those options are disabled, everything seems to work. Drivers 570 (which are available on the Internet but still waiting the official release) seem to fix RT/PT and Frame Gen.

I'm in no hurry. I can still average 100fps, and I ain't a great game player, so more than enough for me.

CachyOS developers, as you may hear in the video made by A1RM4X, prepared packages of these drivers if anyone is interested:

https://share.cachyos.org/x86_64/nvidia-570/

but remember they weren't officialy released!
