Since its release, Dying Light 2 continues to be patched up, and this time the serious things start with patch 1.2.
Techland recently deployed a major update for Dying Light 2 and the studio has obviously fixed a lot of bugs, some of which could cause real big problems in-game, such as the “deathloop”, or crashes during quest scripts.
Dying Light 2 is rolling out its patch first on PC and later on consoles
For now, patch 1.2 is only available on PCcorn an equivalent will arrive very soon on consolessince the problems, although very present, are different on PlayStation and Xbox.
Broadly speaking, the update tackles an army of bugs affecting the following points:
- Story progression
- co-op mode
- Nightrunner Tools
- Combat improvements
- Ragdoll behavior
- Night balancing
- UI/UX improvements
- Final boss fight
- Outro improvements
- Balancing
- Technical improvements
- And a brutality pack, which will bring many immersive details to close combat!
Techland did not share the list of details, which we imagine to be particularly long for once, but did provide us with an overview of the biggest changes, to be seen below.
