Techland has released Hotfix 1.2.3 for Dying Light The Beast, addressing stability concerns, visual glitches, and multiple gameplay bugs. The update improves overall performance, fixes crashes, and resolves graphical issues on PlayStation 5 related to HDR. Players using DLSS and Frame Generation should also notice smoother gameplay with fewer stutters and visual inconsistencies.
The hotfix also tackles progression blockers across quests and co-op, including fixes for tutorial issues, indestructible doors in “The Mine,” and safe spot bugs that could trap players. Additionally, smaller improvements have been made to enemy behavior, music loops, and UI elements on consoles.
