Cyberpunk 2077 Redscript Compilation Failed Error Fix
You can easily fix the Cyberpunk 2077 Redscript Compilation Failed error by removing the mods for the old version of the game and completely uninstalling and reinstalling the title again on SSD (Solid State Drive), here are the steps to do that:
1. Removing Mod and Reinstalling Cyberpunk 2077
- First, download the latest version of REDscript on the official website of Nexus Mods on your PC.
- After downloading the files, extract the zip file in the main Cyberpunk 2077 game folder.
- The files should end up in the below-mentioned way in the game directory:
- Cyberpunk 2077\engine\tools\scc.exe
- Cyberpunk 2077\engine\config\base\scripts.ini
- Once that is done, the compiler will save a copy of the game script in this location – Cyberpunk 2077\r6\cache\final.redscripts.bk
- Then uninstall the Redscript by removing these two files – “scc.exe” and “scripts.ini”. Then replace the existing ‘final.redscripts‘ file with the backed up ‘final.redscripts.bk‘ file.
- Finally, take a backup of the saved game file, uninstall the game, and reinstall it on an SSD. This will solve the Redscript Compilation Failed error of the game.
