Dying Light 2’s Day One Patch Includes Over 1,000 Fixes

Dying Light 2’s day one patch will include more than 1,000 bug fixes on top of the thousand made since the game went gold.

Bugs present in the pre-release version of the game included dialogue that blocked story progression, regular crashing, and missing sound and voice-over audio. IGN’s review of Dying Light 2 came with a Bug Alert recommending players with a low bug-tolerance to avoid the game until it had received such updates.

Developer Techland said in a statement: “Within the last two weeks we added over a thousand fixes and improvements on all the platforms.

“You can expect the day one patch with another thousand tweaks to go live on consoles within the next few days, and of course, we are continuing our efforts to improve the PC version in real-time.”

IGN said Dying Light 2 was “good”, and “an ambitious zombie action adventure that’s packed with top-notch parkour, an awesome open world, and every painful bug in the book.”

Techland recently delayed the Nintendo Switch version of the game, saying it will no longer release on February 4 but instead “within six months”. It also promised that Dying Light 2 will receive five years of post-launch content on top of the supposed 500 hours it takes to fully complete the game.

Dying Light 2 will launch on February 4 for Xbox, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC.
