Dying Light 2has generally been received with favorable praise, with many extolling the improved parkour mechanics, not to mention the overall visuals. Asone of the most anticipated open world zombie gamesof this generation, it’s been a long wait for fans of the original. Since being released just over a month ago, there has been some urgency in the community as players encountered a game-breaking issue. Fortunately, Techland has been on the case and a new update seems to fix it, as well as bring with it some additional changes.
According to a post on the official Steam page, the latest patch forDying Light 2, update 1.2.0, fixes a lengthy list of bugs that have been present since it was launched. Most notably, it seems as though the “deathloop” glitch has finally been sorted, and the developer has also adjusted some of the gameplay mechanics, specifically making nighttimes a lot more challenging. On top of that, there has been a host of other tweaks, such as improving the outro sequences, making amendments to the UI, fixing some of the issues in co-op, and plenty more.

As far as the most infamous glitch goes,the “deathloop” bug inDying Light 2made it impossible for players to progress in-game. According to the patch notes, instances of this severe issue, and all known cases of it, have been “eliminated.” There was a patch rolled out a couple of weeks after the game came out which was supposed to sort it out, but evidently it seems that more work was needed.
As well as this, the new update also made some improvements to the night sections of the game. The notes say that the Howler’s senses has had its range increased, as well as its resistance to range weapons. Level 4 chases are also now more difficult, and Volatiles emerge from hiding spots faster during a chase. While there isa mod that adds a nightmare mode toDying Light 2, it seems this official update is also working to make the experience more challenging for players.
Techland has also hinted at a New Game Plus mode, but that will be during a later patch, if it becomes a thing at all. As it stands, version 1.2.0 brings with it a series of bug fixes, general tweaks, and some overall improvements to the game, and it will be nice if fans can finally play without encountering the dreaded “deathloop” issue.
