📋 About This Mod

Fixes some ancient Sandevistan bugs like draining charge without triggering time dilation, unavailable with no cooldown, unable to recharge...

Why this mod?

In vanilla Cyberpunk 2077, your Sandevistan — which cost you an organ or two (possibly literally) — can just randomly decide it does not feel like working today. The charge drains all the way to zero, you stand there waiting for the world to slow down like the chrome god you are, and... nothing. And now it is broken — no cooldown, no recharge, completely dead until you reload a save. For a cutting-edge military-grade cyberware, you would expect a little more professionalism.

This is not a one-off bad day for your chrome. It happens reliably in specific situations, and every time it does it can completely ruin a fight — or an entire session if your last save was three missions ago like a reckless merc who never learned.

So what is actually going on? Whenever any other slow-motion effect is already active — Kerenzikov, a deflect, the Focus perk, or your beloved Revulsor doing its thing — and you hit the Sandevistan button, the game goes "yes, activating, totally activating" and starts draining your charge like it means it. But the actual slow-motion never shows up to the party. The charge hits zero. And because Sandevistan never properly activated, it also never properly ended — so the cooldown and recharge that should kick in afterwards never happen either. Your expensive cyberware is now just a very costly paperweight, permanently stuck until you reload. Netrunners do not have this problem though.


What This Mod Does

  • []Sandevistan now cancels and waits for any active time dilation effect to finish before activating — so the effect actually triggers instead of silently failing.[/]

    []Charge is no longer drained during the wait — it is only spent once Sandevistan successfully activates.[/]

    []Sandevistan properly ends, cools down, and recharges as normal in all cases — the broken stuck state is no longer possible.[/]

    []Kerenzikov is cleanly dismissed when you activate Sandevistan, with no leftover effects.[/]

    []Re-activating Sandevistan mid-session works correctly — it ends the current session first, then starts fresh (we can't do that without a mod though?).[/]

    []All existing Sandevistan behaviour and cyberware compatibility are fully preserved.[/]


Installation

  • []Download and install all required mods.[/]

  • []Install with your preferred mod manager, or manually extract the mod into your Cyberpunk 2077 root directory:

    ...\Cyberpunk 2077\[/]


Compatibility

  • []This mod uses a non-intrusive implementation of adding and wrapping methods and should not conflict with other mods.[/]
