Tested versions
Use these versions for the lab procedures.
| Component | Pinned version | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Cyberpunk 2077 for Windows | 2.31a | Exact GOG Windows build; CD Projekt RED calls the underlying public patch 2.31 |
| WolvenKit | 8.19.0 | Project editing, CR2W inspection, conversion, packing, and deployment |
| ArchiveXL | 1.27.0 | Root questphase, journal, localization, and streaming-block registration |
| RED4ext | 1.30.0 | Runtime required by ArchiveXL |
| redscript | 0.5.31 | Runtime dependency declared by ArchiveXL 1.27.0, even though Labs 1–5 contain no .reds source |
| TweakXL | 1.11.3 | Scope-specific pin for registering mod-owned Character.* and other TweakDB records in advanced guides; not required by Labs 1–5 |
Version check date: 2026-08-09. The ArchiveXL 1.27.0 compatibility contract
requires Cyberpunk 2077 2.31, redscript 0.5.31 or later, and RED4ext 1.29.0 or
later. This book pins the exact versions above instead of treating those
minimums as a tested range. Cyberpunk 2077 2.31a was the Windows GOG build
supplied for testing.
TweakXL 1.11.3 belongs only to procedures that add mod-owned TweakDB
records. Inspecting vanilla records and completing Labs 1–5 does not require
it. A page that uses TweakXL states that dependency locally instead of
silently expanding every reader workflow.
These are the initial support baseline, not universal minimums. A practical chapter may name a newer baseline after its example has been repeated against that combination. Older versions are unsupported unless the chapter says otherwise.
The 2.31a suffix is visible in the Windows GOG distribution. CD Projekt RED’s
public notes are titled Patch
2.31; this book records the
exact installed build so results are reproducible.
