📋 About This Mod

This mod dynamically adjusts the upload speed of quickhacks; when V uploads a quickhack from a long distance, upload speed will be very slow. Likewise, when V is close to the target the upload speed will be very fast.

Additionally, getting traced works similarly, the further V is from the target when a quickhack is uploaded the longer it takes for the reveal position daemon to complete, while uploading quickhacks close to the enemy V will be traced much quicker.

There are 3 different versions available:

"Datalink Transmission Tether" is the standard version

"Datalink Transmission Tether - Bad Signal" has a more random distance-based upload speed.

"Datalink Transmission Tether - Hardcore" has a very slow combat quickhack upload speed. (See sticky post in the Discussions tab for more information.)

Requirements: Cyber Engine Tweaks and redscript

Recommended: Datalink Transmission Tether - Distance based Quickhack RAM Cost

My other distance based quickhack mod makes quickhacks cost less RAM as you get further away from the target. With the 2 mods together the game simulates a dynamic wireless connection for hacking; uploading from far away has a worse (slower) connection but uses less RAM and vice-versa.

Recommended: Trace Position Overhaul

Compliments this one well, since V can get revealed quickly at close range it's useful to be able to pick on targets that can't initiate a trace

Installation: Drag and drop the folders bin and r6 to the Cyberpunk 2077 folder
