Cyberpunk2077 Vortex Support v0.7.0 "Meredith"

Don't get too attached, you're just a tool to get the job done... even if part of it seems to merge biz with something a bit more personal, and a whole different look. Input? Output? Not up to you. But that's corpo life for you. Play your cards right, and maybe you're just left wondering why your holo goes unanswered next morning instead of finding yourself in concrete overshoes having outlived your usefulness.

Update directly in Vortex, or get the release on the Nexus page (or Github): https://www.nexusmods.com/site/mods/196?tab=files

Why use a mod manager? In addition to quality-of-life improvements like automatically fixing many common types of mod structure problems that you'd have to do by hand, clear (?) instructions on any possile additional steps for any given mod or problem encountered, and the easy ability to enable/disable mods, you also get profiles to manage separate sets of mods more easily, update notifications, much easier game upgrades, easy toggling between multiple versions or variants (e.g. colors) of a mod, Collections, and all sorts of nice things. And you can of course install mods from any source - even the mod showcase channel, and they do not even need to be in a zipfile. We gotchu.

As always, any feedback and such is appreciated so we can ensure that no bugs or oversights have slipped through our testing - and other feedback and ideas are more than welcome! Please get in touch either on Discord, Github, or Nexus (links at the bottom).

Full Changelog: v0.6.0...v0.7.0

Detes

CyberCAT can now be installed via Vortex. You can use it in the usual manner after installation, but we've also wrapped it up as a Tool that you can use from Vortex directly! The Tool is just a bit finicky on the first run - just make sure that you have enabled the mod, and that you have restarted Vortex after that. Then you should see a nice shiny button for CyberCAT right on your dashboard. If the button is grayed out, make sure you have the mod enabled, restart Vortex again, and it should work.

As usual, CyberCAT can load any save file and you can load presets from anywhere, but if you install one via Vortex, it'll be placed in the V2077/presets/cybercat/ directory. The Unlocker presets get placed in the same directory that Unlocker itself uses, and should be picked up automatically.

The Crew

No new Netrunners for this release, but @Bladehawke and @E1337Kat are back, and coordination with mod authors was great as always - thanks for all your help, ideas, and support!
