Camera shake begone
Removes some of the annoying camera shaking when shooting guns and head-bobbing, DOES NOT remove it on melee weapons. Best used with weapon mod “countermass” , as that nullifies the camera moving upwards as well, making it perfectly stable.
WORK IN PROGRESS
Confirmed working on gog 1.06.
For all of us who are affected by this motion sickening “feature”. This mod removes some of the annoying camera shaking when shooting guns and remaining head-bobbing that sometimes occurs when walking around even with “Additive camera motions” on “OFF”. Doesn’t work for all weapons, such as LMG’s and any of the special weapons, plus ALL melee weapons. Currently it seems there is no way to remove camera shake on melee weapons and specials, but will update as soon as it becomes possible. DOES NOT REMOVE RECOIL, JUST THE CAMERA SHAKE, which means that recoil-related camera movements are still there. Also, the mod does not remove camera shake on reloading and weapon swapping (unsure if possible at the moment).
Recommended use together with the in-game “countermass” [Eliminates vertical recoil while aiming] weapon mod in order to make the camera perfectly (vertically) stable when aiming down sights, completely eliminating the shake.
Works on following weapon types (file names):
handgun
revolver (needs further testing – overture is unaffected for some reason – can be seen in the video)
rifle_assault
rifle_precision
rifle_sniper
shotgun
shotgun_dual
smg
Doesn’t work on following weapons (file names):
malorian_overture
kangtao_dian
kangtao_zhuo
militech_hmg
constitutional_defender
melee_fists
katana
baton
knife
one_handed_blunt
two_handed_blunt
Installation:
Step 1: unzip the downloaded content
Step 2: copy the archive folder into game folder (eg. C:\Program Files (x86)\GOG Galaxy\Games\Cyberpunk 2077)
Step 3: verify that “basegame_camera_recoil_shake.archive” is in the correct path (eg gamepath\Cyberpunk 2077\archive\pc\patch)
Uninstall:
Step 1: go to your game folder (eg. C:\Program Files (x86)\GOG Galaxy\Games\Cyberpunk 2077)
Step 2: open archive\pc\patch
Step 3: delete basegame_camera_recoil_shake.archive
I will continue trying to remove more and more camera shake if/when possible, but at the moment without proper tools and limited knowledge it is quite difficult to do hex edits without making the game crash, so this is all I could do for now. As soon as we have better tools I’ll be updating this to remove all camera shaking.
