Developer Techland has released Update 1.12.2 for the PC version of its open-world zombie action RPGDying Light 2. The studio says it will release the update onDying Light 2’s console versions in the next few weeks.
Released last year,Dying Light 2sees players parkouring across the zombie-invested city of Villedor, one of the last remaining centers of human civilization. Protagonist Aiden arrives in the city searching for information on his sister Mia. However, he is drawn into the conflict between the militaristic Peacekeepers, the freedom-loving Survivors, and the violent Renegades.Dying Light 2saw mixed reviews, with critics praising the writing and open world, but finding the stealth underwhelming and the nighttime zombie attacks less dangerous than in the first game.

Dying Light 2’s Update 1.12.2 is a small hotfix focused on bug fixes. It also adds a new 100 DL Point pack to the in-game store. However, the company also updated its end-user license agreement regardingDying Light 2mods. The new rules specify thatDying Light 2players may create, use, and distribute mods as long as they conform to Techland’s Mod Policy. The policy includes only distributing mods through Techland’s approved platform. The policy also states that, while Techland does not claim ownership overDying Light 2mods, creating mods gives Techland a license to use the mods however the company wishes.
Update 1.12.2’s patch notes list eight main fixes, six of which apply to all platforms. This includes fixing the stutteringDying Light 2players experienced on the City Alignment menu and when examining Tools in the Invert. Techland also fixed the stuttering and removed unwanted pop-ups when the players adjusted Gamma settings and solved the problem withDying Light 2freezing on the “Community Maps” menu. Developers also fixed a graphical glitch when players install mods on the Mercenary Machete. Finally, for the cross-platform updates, Techland removed an exploit where players get a duplicate inhibitor after defeating a GRE Anomaly inDying Light 2’s co-op.
The last two listed fixes only apply toDying Light 2on thePS4 and PS4 Pro, and both relate to performance and stability. Developers fixed a problem that caused crashes when PS4 and PS4 Pro players attempted to load an old save. Techland also fixed the performance issues that players encountered when skippingDying Light 2’s prologue from the Pause Menu.
Dying Light 2is out now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S, with a Switch version in development.
