The latest Dying Light 2 update 1.056 brings an array of gameplay, co-op, and technical fixes aimed at enhancing stability and player experience. In the Tower Raid mode, developers addressed multiple visual and interaction issues, ensuring smoother gameplay, while fixing problems with players getting stuck and adjusting visual elements to maintain immersion. Key improvements in co-op include fixes for spawning issues and soft-locks, notably eliminating the “Waiting for Host” bug that previously halted gameplay. Gameplay adjustments also enhance enemy behavior, especially around military convoys, and tackle issues like collisions and mission-specific bugs to ensure smoother progression.
The technical improvements in this update are equally extensive, offering refinements in environmental visuals and enhanced audio-visual effects, such as adding missing sound and visual effects to grenades and special weapons. Player-controlled mechanics have also been polished, including skill previews for Bash and Crowd Runner abilities, and fixes for minor gameplay bugs, like the unlimited Game Ball issue. UI adjustments were also made to resolve subtitle inconsistencies and dialogue options, while changes to DevTools add new prefabs and correct terrain-related bugs. Below are the complete patch notes for this update.
